The West 'Branch lumber has probably all

many of them heavily flu )(led. Again the
tains have mainly affected the streams flow

West Branch had but sufficient water, whilst
there was no general flood in the North
Branch. We have heard there was not much
water above Owego, and that the lumber in
the headwaters lies there still. IVe are die
pointed in this. The river was so swollen
that a general outpouring of lumber from
all the tributaries of both main branches
tras confidently expected. Sellers at this
place hold stiffly, in view of the loss of tim

o'clock the floating timber reached the

The nriusually large quautity or timber

Tne,l.tr.NESE,—The Japanese Embassy
arrived at New York on 'Wednesday of last
week, in the steam frigate Roanoke ; but
the vessel was ordered to proceed to Norfolk,
without landing the Embassy. The Japan
ese were conveyed from Norfolk to Wash
ington in the steamer Philadelphia, arriving
there en Monday. A grand display of re
ception was prepared, consisting of a few
marines, a few volunteers, a few "omnibi,"
a great many members of Congress (drunk
and sober) and an immense and unmannerly
crowd of the unwashed—black and white.
On Wcduesday the Entbirssadors bad an in
terview with Gen. Cass, and on Thursday
were formally received by the President.
The Japanese are likely to have a hard
time of it in this Country. They have al
ready been invited to make excursions over
all the railroads in the country, and recep
tions are prepared by the principal cities of
the Union. Our Council thought of offering,
the hospitalities of Columbia, but when they
heard that the New York City Council were
"laying" for the unfortunate foreigners they
felt that it Would be unfair to interfere.—
The Japanese are said to be much interested
in manufactures and machinery. [low would
it do to invite them to inspect the "Old Mul

n It. Coto sr BIA.- Great Champion
Prize Figlet—Desperale Baltle—Riny Broken
into by Peelers and Mill Slopped—All hands
Dreadfully Punished—by the Beak.—Unlike
most of our moral and religious cotempera
ries, who loudly condemned the "brutal"
fight for the Charnsianship of E igiand, yet
published in full the "revolting" particulars,
we considered that spirited affair as rather
"nutty." but in deference to the well-known
prejudices of the public, fathom forcing
upon our readers the cheering account of the
battle, in which, as a fighting man, wo took
so deep an interest. Now, however, that a
little affair—an otTahut of the great "inter-
national mill"—has come off in our own bo
rough, we feel that oar tastes and our duty
to society can be harm )niously combined in
a brief report of this truly g une gladiato
rial encounter.
Oa Sunday a juvenile "tired'." from the
Basin Precinct, informed Justice %Veldt) that
a fight fur a quart of Sullivan's best and the
championship of the Basin was coming off
at the Sullivan 11 .use, and entreated the
presence of the magistrate if he wanted to
see a "big thing." The 'Squire, like our.
self, is an ardent admirer of the P. R., and
had it not been Sand ty and he a Justice of
the Peace, would, undouhte By, have taken
a "lunar." As it was ha felt constrained
by a sense of duty to the public and himself
(costs!) to dispatch Sheriff Waite.; to put a
atop to the"di+graceful breach of the peace."
The Sheriff, atter some search—his errand
being suspected he was put on a wrong scent
by the Noutli of the neighborhood—.-came
upon the fiadit, which raged in att.."' car body,
buck of the "Sullivan." Daspite of oppo
sition the officer broke into the ring (car)
and captured the entire party.
Produced at the 'Willows a hearing ensued
it appeared that Thomas Sc..tt. known
MA "Son. ttv." mid Patrick Kelly, alias "Aus
tral inn." had differed about the great Chain

Agreed upon try-the friends of the respe: tire
parties. The stakes were decided upon, and
the 'first depcsif.of a gill of "Sullivan" a

Sulliiin—the basin fight* headOrters.
The men were ; put into tte*etraining and
theday flied fail:II Tundtty;,.-Thi - fi n l ade.
posit was made on Saturday and the stakes
pat., under Jock_ and key. Bets—drinks,
pints and quarts—were plentiful. Scotty
rather had the nail, at the odds of Sullivan's
best against the inferior article sold down
town. On Sunday, at 2P. M., the combat
ante and their backers, with a crovtd of the
elite of the erecinet,assembled at the Sul
livan, the - stakes were driven (Spratively)
and the "ring" made ready. After a: "fed
eral" drink at the bar the combatants ap
peared. 'rile Australlian shied his tile into
the ring and lightly sprang. over the ropes
(climbed through the winclovt) and was fol
lowed by Snotty with more deliberation,
(through the door) yet without reluctance.
-Kelly's second was Willuiam Wallace
(Wally) Inckard, while the veteran Sulli
van seconded Snotty. David Hinkle and
Williarn:Llantsch. jr., were b :We holders.—
E tell man considered himself judge, (of the
quality of tlse stakes,) and the crowd acted
as a collective umpire. The men were
stripped by their seconds and presented
splendid animal (not to say brutal) c mdition.
Snotty appeared to have a sPight advantage
in abdominal development, but Kelly more
than made np fur this by the swelled condi
tion of his naturally immense head. The
men shook hands grimly and came to the
scratch for the
FIRS? Flionxn.—After a littler skirmishing
Kelly Beck of with his right (foot} but was
cleverly dodged by Scotty. witty made grab
thr Austfalian's capillaries and missed.—
Kelly tried his left which was stopped, and
in return got away from a right-hander.--
Scotty now went in earnest, and after a rat
tling exchange got in a slogger on Kelly's
dough-trough, knocking the wind out of that
ll.yenan hero.
Seeovo VetND. —Both men Carrie up fresh,
Kelly with his hand on the wounded spot.
Scotty grinned, which so infuriated the
Australian that he threw out his bunch of
fives and made acquaintance with Scotty's
exhaust pipe, opening a bottle of •'Lvfitte."
First blood Alerted for Kelly. Scotty drew
his "wipe," blew his nose and again went
in. Ile thundered on the immense conk of
his antagonist without doing much damage,
Kelly the while making ugly work with
Tom's shins. Scotty tired of pounding at
Pat's attic turnel away in disgust, when
Kelly, taking advantage of Tom's back be
ing turned, put in a burster on the occipur,
starting the lambdoidal suture and sending
Scotty to grass. First knock down for
Kelly.
Titter/Rouen.—Both men groggy (took
too much Sullivan between rounds) but
game. Tem limped a little from the pun
ishment his pins had received, and Pat
still squiimed some from the "winder abdom
inalis's administered early in the fight. Scot
ty evidently wanted to protract the battle
seeing Kelly's wind damaged, but the Aus
tralian bored in and forced the fighting. lle
rattled his collection of phalanges about the
salutation trap, the viewers, the patchouli
bottle, the whisky ditch, the apes, the tont
ensemble of Scotty, who, in return, pegged
away at all the members included in the
Pope's bull of excommunication, and the
round ended in a rough and tumble, during
which the men went down, Kelly under.
One of the bottle holders—fighting Billy
—here rushed into the ring, declaring that
if there was any more fighting to be done
ho was bound to be in. Sullivan (travels
on his stick—not on his muscle) knocked
Billy down with his crutch, when Wally and
Davy sailed in and the row became general.
At this stage of the game the police suc
ceeded in breaking through the crowd, and
arrested the whole party. Billy had his
nose smashed and one eye in mourning:
Wally had both peepers closed; Kelly's face
was too dirty to ascertain the amount of the
damage; Scotty same as Kelly; Sullivan
slightly excited; Davy nowhere in the fight,
but his bottle empty.
This ended one of the gamest and most
esciting struggle recorded in the annals of
' the P. P., Who will say thwt a manly en
counter between two such noble fellows
as Scott and K'dly is demoralizing. We
have no ward{ to solficiently condemn the
outrageous conduct of the ?olice and judic
iary.
Tho Justice gars BillS7 and Wally each
90 days, Scotty and Davy 60 days, and
Kelly 30 days; all on bread and water.—
Sullivan was eared and "sot again" for
another haul. The party wont down rest
morning, per Waitcs' Express.

CAPTURE 07 A Sf.hvart.—The Uni•er! States
steamer Mohawk, Lieut. Commanding Craven,
arrived at Key %Vest on the 30th ult., with a
slaver, an American clipper.bnilt bark, called
the Wildfire, about 300 tons, and eight years
old. The Wildfire cleared from New York,
on the 10th of last December, Stanhope, master,
for St. Thomas. She has on board about hve
hundred Africans, all quite young and in very
good condition. She has a Spanish crew of
fifteerr men. The Spanish Captain calls him
self Manuel. She has also an American Cap
tain, Rathborn, and eight men (Americans).—
The latter pretended to be passengers, but ere
probably the American crew of the vessel, the
bark having a Spanish crew and an American
crew.
The Africans were taken on board the
at the Congo river. The crew was to re
ceive $BOO for their portion of the proceeds of
the sale of negrocs. They were out thirty six
trays, and would have landed their cargo before
had they riot been becalmed four days Where
they were at the time of capture.
The Africans; 519 in number, about 80
having died on the passage, were brought on
deck. A majority are children of from &to
16 years old. The females amount to about
70. The crew of the vessel made no resistsnce
and were taken and sent on board the Mo.
hawk, and since her arrival have been deliver
ed up to the United States Marshal. The ne
xi oes will be landed as soon as a place can be
built for :heir accommodation. Many of tl em
have been confined in the hold of the vessel so
long that they are not able to walk.
[From the Key of the Gulf, May 5.]
These negroes were to have been landed at
Cayn Santa Maria, about one hundred miles of
East Sagua la Grande.
When this vessel left the coast, there were
fourteen American vessels waiting for cargoes
of negroes. The bark William left eight days
before her with 730 on board. Two Spanish
armed steamers were also waiting at the Con
go river for cargoes or 1,500 negroes each,
bound for Cuba.
So confident were the people on board the
Wildfire of not being overhauled, that their
hatches were not even closed. Lteuts. Oathat
and Carpenter, together with a prize crew,
took charge of her; the prisoners were placed
on board the Mohawk, and both vessels steered
for this port, and arrived as above stated.
The Spaniards charge the Americans with
conducting the voyage, end that they were
working their passage. The Americans make
the same charge against the Spaniards, and
thus the case stands. They are all in jail and
are undergoing an examination before United
States Commissioner Bethel. The vessel has
been libelled by the government far farfeitare.

correspondent who dates from
Feather River, Cal., thows bow he had a
friend elected new chief of the Digger In•
dians,who "locate thar or tharabouts t"
The old chief died in 1860, and his mantle
fell on the the shoulders of his only son, the
last of the Diggers, and he was a poor drunk
en imbecile, unfit, even to be a rooter. He
became so unpopular with the tribe, that
they consulted with Bon and self about im
peaching him. It was done, and he was
driven down into the settlements. Ben and
I were regents. We gave notice by posters
on all the big trees in the vicinity, that an
election will be held on the 4th day of.luly,
for the purpose of electing a big captain fin
the tribe, and as the office was a lasting one
there were some candidates. One young
fine, noble looking fellow was nominated at
the Diggers' State Convention, on account of
killing a big she grizzly with a pistol. His
name was Pitsauk (lizard.) lie spoke Eng
lish very well, and was a good marksman—
an excellent hunter, and was useful to the
emigrants and traders us a pioneer and saes
' senger, and strictly honest.
At sunrise on the 4th, Ben and I raised
the stars and stripe 4 on the top of of a gigan-
tic fir tree. I played Yankee Doodle and
the Star Spangled Banner on au old fife,
made a speech on the glorious privilege of
universal suffrage, and the election com
menced. Captain Bessy was Judge, and
ourself general inspector. As we had all the
tickets written with Pitsauk's name on he
ran a very large majority. The election
closed about dinner, as Jim Lee, an old resi
dent of Butt Valley, i.rrived with two very
large square bottles marked Scheidam
Schnapps. Pitsauk indulged slightually ; the
Manila squaws took some, the old injinee
wetted their lips, and wanted more, but we
were afraid of injuring their constitutions,
and retained oue bottle fur medicinal pur
puses.
Pitsauk was inaugurated. First we deck.
ad him in the river; then greased him well
with deer tallow ; then put a stove pipe hat
on him, and a pair of flannel drawers ; pet
an old musket in his bands; then married
him to a Muhala, pitt the flag on his bark
marquee. and left him alone in his glory.—

was a foreign refugee, living in the neighbor
hood of Letcester Square. We cannot give
any more precise account of his whereabouts,
as the Signor's address had always been kept
a most profound secret—several of his credi
tors, in fact, being most anxious to penetrate
the mystery. The Signor picked up a living
by translating documents from foreign lan
guages for different houses in the city. One
day a letter arrived, addressed to the Signor, at
one of these hdtrses, eating that if he would

would probably bring him a pretty considera

pretty considerable sum would be most accep

lions to throwing himself in are way of un

pointed, a foreign looking individual presented
himself at the office of Messrs. S. E., rnd
handed in the letter addisssed by that highly
respectable firm to Signor Dandini.

a strong German accent.
.Ah, to be sure," said Skinnum, the princi

"Sig

The foreign looking individual bowed, with

“Ah, my dear sir," continued Skinnum,
smiling, "the fact is, I am sorry we have been
compelled to have recourse to a little strata
gem, but, not knowing your address, we had
no other means of getting at you-1 have to
serve yon with this writ !"
The foreign-looking individual did not seem
in the least surprised. He answered—
"Ha! yes, mean dear sir. But we haat had
recourse to one little statugem too! lam not

afraid of this—so asked me to come and see
about your letter. Good morning, mein dear
