DEATH OF JOHN X, CLAYTON The Telegraph on Monday announced the death of this distinguished oitizen of Dela ware. Mr. Clayton was well known over the country, having filled with ability sev eral elevated and distinguished public trusts. Ile was elected to the Senate IA the Uni ted States in 1829, and retained his seat un til 1834, He retired from the Senate to ac cept the position of Chief Justice of Dela ware, • 13 - lie remained, webelleve, upon the bench in Delaware for nearly ten years. In this position he displayed eminent legal learning, and achieved a large reputation as a sound jurist. In 1845, he was again returned to the Senate, and tool: a leading part in the discussions of that body. Upon the Oregon question—upon the various propositions for the solution of the diffmulties arising out of the acquisition of now territory, by the trea ty. of Gaudaloupe llidalgo—he was recog nized as a Whig leader, the second in corn wand of that party in the Senate under Mr. Webster. When Gen. Taylor was nominated, he made the speech which was the key-note of the campaign of 1848 and when the old hero came in power he appointed him to the high est position in his Cabinet. This he filled with distinguished ability until the death of Taylor in July, 1850. Upon the inaugura tion of Mr. Fill more he retired, and remain ed a private citizen until he was re-elected to the Senate in 1852. In social life he was eminent for his easy and fascinating conversational powers, and his pleasant, companionable geniality. In his profession of the law, he was not only a great lawyer hut a most finished and con vincing advocate. Perhaps the two cases, in which he won bis highest reputation, were those of Ramie] vs. the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, and the cel ebrated Pea• Patch case. In the former, he recovered for the plaintiff a verdict of a quar ter of a million of dollars; in the latter, he successfully defended the title of Delaware to this Island. With a reputation rather of the past than of the present—with, at least, no sincere sym pathy for, or attachment to, any existing party organization—he has for some time been isolated and without strong party affil iations. That the nation will both feel and sincerely regret his loss none can deny.— His great talents, his devotion to the whole country, his vast experience, might have been of infinite use in stormy and troubluus times. Ile is almost the last of that race of great spirits which led the councils of the nation, and created and directed the public policy thirty years ago. Benton, Everett and Crit tenden yet remain; but ere long, they, too, must pass away. They are the last stars in the procession 'Attie past, ere yet the glorious sun of the future breaks upon us! ENE From the Sun Francisco Stale Journal. Oct 17 MR. BUCHANAN On the Pacific Railroad Question. 53 77 130 194 WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster,) Pa. September 17, 1536. _ To B. F. WASHINGTON, Esq., Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of California—Sir: I have received numerous communications from sources in California entitled to high regard, in reference to the proposed Pacific Railroad. As it would be impossible for me to answer them all, I deem it most proper and respectful to address you a general answer in your official capacity. In performing this duty to the citizens of California, I net in perfect consistency with the self-imposed restriction contained in my letter accepting the nomination fur the Pres idency, not to answer interrogations raising new and different issues front those present ed by the Cincinnati Convention, because that Convention has itself adopted a resolu tion in favor of the great work. I then desire to state. briefly, that con curring with the Convention, I am decidedly favorable to the construction of the P.milic Railroad; and I derive the authority to do this from the constitutional power "to de clare war," and the constitutional duty "to repel invasions." In my judgment, Con gress possesses the same power to make ap propriations for the construction of this road, strictly fur the purpose of national defence, that it has to erect fortifications at the mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. In deed the necessity, with a view to repel fur -1 eign invasion from California, is as great in the one case as in the other. Neither will there be danger from the precedent, fur it is almost impossible to conceive that any case attended by such extraordinary and unpre cedented circumstances can never again oc cur in our history. Yours, very respectfully, BUCLIAIs:AN. r7:TTr ' MgO : IIrISN7IMI This branch of business is advancing with astonishing rapidity, so much so, indeed, as to offer inventive capacity large inducements for supplying a material which shall entire ly substitute the use of rags as a staple ne cessity. Several experiments have already been made, and with sufficient success to encatrage a further prosecution of like ef forts, by which partioular woods have been brought into practical requisition, the texture of the paper thus produced being only mate rially distinguishable from that of the ordi nary fabric by its stiffer consistency. Some idea may be firmed of the extent of this business by the fact that there are now 7.h) paper mills in the United States, with 2000 engines constantly in operation. Thee mills produced lust year, 270,1 00,000 pounds of paper, and as a pound and a quarter of rags were required far Nadi pound of paper, 400,000,000 pounds of the raw material were therefore consumed in this way, sup plied from the United States and the conti nent of I:tir(2pe. . . The p printing press, in its various ramifica tions, is thus producing a practical revolution in an important branch of trade. by a con sumption which is constantly advancing be yond the supply of the substance necessary for manufacturing purposes. Curious reflec tions are suggested, when the mind is brought to contemplate the plain fact, that the means by which intelligence is flashed through the world, and man is enlightened as to his sense of moral, material, and polit ician duty is now actually dependent upon the aggregate of those rags, which lie con temptuously discards as useless and offen site. Paoli OREGON.—The Indian troubles in this territory have recently been renewed, and threaten to become more serious and ex tensive than ever before. Governor Stevens, who had advanced into the Walla Walla country, for the purpose of negotiating a general pence with all the tribes in that quarter, had been obliged to vacate the same, together with such tutted States troops as had accompanied him. The entire country to the North and East of John Day's River, was at last accounts in the possession of the savages, numbering about three thou sand, many of whom were armed with guns. Col. Steptee had come into the Danes with his command, abandoning the whole coun try above to the Indians, except one block house held by fifty men, whom he intended to relieve as soon as he could procure forage. Governor Stevens had addrest,ed the people of Portland, and stated that the Indians had acted faithless in all their transactions with the whites, that nothing could satisfy them but an unconditional surrender of the en tire country to the east side of the Dalles, and that there remained only a prospect of another general war with all the tribes in that quarter. ,e-Every reader will appreciate the sen timent of the following piece of poetry.— We have not the author's name, or it would be given: NOVEMBER.

We hear without the last farewell Of birds to south lauds going, And sigh Lack a.nswars from our hearts, As shrinking from the knowing Of all that follows on the track Of leaves and birds departed; And cant, seems changed, as if e'en she Were growing weary-hearted. Ah! welbagley, all things must fade. The loveliest soon as any; The days of sunshine are the few, The days of cloud the many! November, dreariest month o f all, To human hearts comes nearest, .And sometimes reapeth mote than leaves, In inking what is drearest. In a quiet little village on the Western Reserve in Ohio, says the Prescott Tran script, there lives a man who, phisiolOgical ly considered, is certainly one of the won ders of the world. His joints are complete ly ossified, turned to bone, and he is not ca pable of making the slightest movement ex cept alternately opening and shutting two fingers of his right hand. His body is as rigid as iron, and it could not be bent for ward or backward without breaking some of his bones. This singular process of ossifi cation has been going on in his system for snore than twenty years. He is now about 4G years old, and has not had the use of his limbs, so that lie could walk, since he was nineteen. Ossification commenced first in his ankle, oints, gradually extending itself through his system until he was entirely helpless. Since that time he has been en tirely under his mother's care, and she ' watches over him with an anxiety which on ly a mother can feel. When about twenty six years old, he became entirely blind from some unknown cause, and has remained so ever since. At about thirty, lie suffered greatly from the toothache, and finally he hail his teeth all extracted. A year or two afterwards, his finger and toe nails all came of r, and were supplied by others growing out from his fingers and toes at right angles and presenting the appearance of horns. What is still more singular with regard to his nails, if the end of the nail is cut off, it will bleed freely. . . Such is the condition of this remarkable man at the present time. He has been vis ited by a great number of scientific men, from all parts of the world, but all have failed to give any plausible reason of the cause of his transformation from flesh to bone. Singu lar as it may appear, although his ,jaw bone is firmly set in his head, he not only talks freely, but fluently converses with his friends and those who visit him, on all ordinary top ics of the day, and he shows himself well in formed and of good mind. Ile is always cheerful, and appears contented and happy, and it seems probable that he will live many years to come. Mar The Mustang Liniment cures Rheumatism.
