THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1850.
San Francisco
Weils, Fargo, & Co., 400 Chestnut street,
our oppos'ito neighbors, usually supply us
with tUes of California Journals, in lulvnnco of
ouy own exchanges, which we receive by
mail. The last batch which has reached us,
to August, inclusive, contains a few
items which apijonr worthy notice here:
Tho;, San Francisco Evening Bulletin of
August 10th, gives a report- of a lecture to the
Mechanics, delivered by Horace Greeley, at
San Ftencisco. The description of his man
ner is good enough. It runs thus: “ The lec
turer jwocceded at once to Uio business of the
evening, by taking from his pocket a small
notes of an unique description. If
a devil” was In tho audience, he
thought immediately of “copy”—
for file memoranda of tho lecturer were upon
little Hqparo bits of paper, as if prepared for
tho hfm'ds of the compositor j and in them, to
our eyes, peeped, out more tho habit of an
editor than an orator . Be tin's as it may, Mr.
Greeley launched out at ouco into his sub
ject, which was Industry and the Mechanic
Jrts, and spoko porhaps seventy minutes.
Though' there was a total absence of all attempt
at eloqrionce, or evun at rhetorical effect, the
lecture was so replete with matter for thought,
and opened up such extended fields for reflec
tion, that he was listened to with unflagging in
terest to the close,” Those who have seen
and heard Horace Ghkelky lecture, will re
cognize, thu_ graphic fidelity of this sketch.
But we defy them to recognize the truth of a
wood-cut portrait, purporting to be that of Mr.
Greeley, which heads the report of the lee-,
turn.
Another California Journal, tho Mariposa
Star, thus sketches Mr. Greeley as lie appear
ed at Mariposa, and the San Francisco Bulletin
actually published this description, almost p:\t
a-i'is with its wood-block. It runs thus: “In
person, Mr. Greeley is übovo the medium
height, rather inclined to corpulency—light
hair and eyes—full face—rather a pleasant ex-,
presslonjr'don’t look liko a vegetarian—wears
«specs/ (steel bowed)—carries a cane, and
would pass in a crowd for a middlo-aged Yan
kee farmer, hunting a place to locate a ranch.
We noticed no other peculiarities except that
he declines to drink—never smokes—seldom
swears, and soeriis to bo in an uuaccountable
hurry to get back to New York.”
Tho Bulletin*s portrait omits the spectacles,
(which Mr. Greeley docs not usually wear),
but gives “the counterfeit resemblance” of
a stout, burly, dark-complexioned man, with
a high forehead, black hair, and a good deal of
dark whisker surrounding tho lower part of Ids
face, from oar 1° ear leaving tho cheeks bare.
Thoao who havo scon the long, thin, flaxen
hair of Mh Greeley, and his fair complexion
—dellcatet as a woman’s—could never recog
nize the San Francisco portrait, which seems
fashioned on Miss Biddy Fudge’s description
of her beau-ideal of a hero ;
"A fine sallow,sublime sort of Wob^to^•faco^lman, ,,
With
u Tliftilcer (hirsair expression, half savage, half soft,
A» Ily teuu Ift love may bo (untied to look, or
A something between Abclnrd anti old Bluchor.”
Tho best of tho joko is that, on tho previous
day, in reporting ft apooch by Mr. Greeley
upon tho Pacific Railway, (by which ho hopes,
within teii years, to go from New York to San
Frat«4 , i c&^xtet '' iaii y c fXft o(,lv,ue BuHe/tn do
scribed him thus: >- - “ ““
“ Tlie’peraonfti-sppQaraDce of Mr. Grooloy is fa
miliar Jo many of our readers. Ho ia abovo tho
.medium height, rather thin, and has a slight stoop.
Ilis head is odd, with tho exception of light flaxen
locks at tho sides and bock. Though nearly fifty
years of ago, thore aro no wrinkles in his face; on
tho contrary, his features, oxoopt for his baldness,
would indicate qnite r young man. There i.y a pe
culiar brightness in his eyes, and tho general ex
pression of his faco is mildness and benignity. His
dress', last evonlug, sfterdrawing off his drab over
coat, (irom which tho mountAinoers cut off all tho
buttons,) was plain block, with a light neck-cloth.
Tho famous white hat had boon exchanged fur ono
of dun-oolorod wool. His late jbarney across tho
plains, although It fatigued him much, has raado
him weigh more than ordinarily, and has given
him a fresh and halo appearanco.
All wg say la, the description and tho por
troin do not tally in tho lead!
Tho Alta California, also published in ban
Francisco, does not present any fancy sketches
of Mr. Greeley or other people, (probably
had no old wood-cuts to work up,) but gives
U 3 actual information, to tho following effect:
" Tho recent difficulty in regard to tho oocupa
tlou of the island of San Juan, by American troops,
afforded Governor DouglnPs a magnificent oppor
tunity to mako himsolf ridiculous, and he fully
availed himself of It- It id related bythosowho
were present when his Excellency first recoived
the news of tho occupation of tbo island that ho
stormed and blustered in tho most alarming ruan
nor. Tho council was convoked, and Admiral
Baynos and olher English officers were immediately
*uminoued before it. Guv. Douglas* was most terri
bly oxcitod iu regard to the matter, denounced

ouco to tho pcono of action with one or moro of tho
vessels of hid fleet, and oxeento summary venge
ance upon these ‘ dastardly filibusters, * who had
dared thus to Insult the flag of Great Britain.
Tho veteran Baynes, who has seen a long hfetimo
of active service, very quietly refused to o xocuto
the sanguinary orders of tho bellicose Governor,
stating that tho question was ono which could only
bo disposed of by tho heads of tho two Govern
ments, whilo so far ns the color of titlo was con
cerned, tho Americans had certainly stronger au
thority for taking possession of tho island than tho
English. Tho Admiral at the samo time atatod
that be had seen his deoks run deep with hqman
goro, hut for nil that, ho would far rather shod
tcnrßthan blood. Of course, auoh a rebuff ns this,
quite nonplussed tho bolligereut Govornor, and
probably brought him to his senses; for wo hear
no moro of any proposal for precipitating u diffi
culty by resorting to arms.”
The English Admiral appears to have been
a properly cautious and prudent man, whose
courage no one will doubt because ho thought
it wise to hear from England before lie got
into ft (puwrel with the United States.
The dUa California, declaring that “ the in

to tho charts and sailing directories In tho last
ten years, they sro vet utterly inadequate to their
information for tho despatch and safety of our raor
ohimtmen. Wo have always boon dependent on
English charts and directions, and, for another ge
neration, aro likely to be; for, nlthough our ships
have done considerable of exploration in tho North
and South Paoltio, and in tho China seas, there is
still much of that portion of tho world navigated
solely by ancient English and Spanish charts, with
sailing directions givon for vessels far les3 of siso
and wcothcrly qualities than thoso of tho ship
ping of tho present day. England is nearly
equally interested with oursolvcs in this mat
ter ; Holland next, while Franco and Spsin have
a yearly increasing interest in a safor and hotter
navigation. Suoh a work as is required is too
much to ask of any ono Government, whoro nil

it is a work in vrluoli all commoroial nations should
join, and ono in which, no doubt, England and
Franco would gladly shnro in the ospenso and
labor. Nearly all tho survoys nro made. Tbo chief
labor is collection and verification of the informa
tion so Abundantly contained in the logs of tho
different men-of-wnr and merchantmen. On
tho moro beaten tracks, Horahurgh is already
nearly complete—wanting only revision and
better dotall of facts. In othor cases, tho proper
notes have been kept in tho journals of our
men-of-vrar and of first-class merchant captains
—wanting only collation to bo made available
to tbo commerco of tho world. Lot our Go

ter, as a joint affair, to tbo European commer

to male the atrangnnntt't in a labor which, when
completes would add the cap-stone to his nautical
fame. We have, fortunately, others of hi* eo
lnburors who would do tho matter full jtistieo ; but
Maury is prc eminently the man, from his world
wide fnmo and reputation —a guarnnteo to other
nations of tho excellence of our Intention, and a
stimulus to first-ohi's nautical tnlont to render the
necessary information from their jj woll-stookcd
journalsund oxporienoo. Tho UnitcaStatos should
take tho preliminary steps Jn a matter which,
whatever of pence or war betide, is of tho first com
mercial importance-lessening risk, time, and in

alleviating the hardships of thoso ‘who go down

Wo learn, via San Francisco, that tho Chi-

by tho English was made the lever of a ua

ment, to tho effect that an Embassy be sent to

The Flower of the Sun,
BY IIKLKN MARIOS WALTON.
Tho golden hearted asphodel.
With velvet cab* to the sun.
Its softest fervent odor breathos,
■When tho hot tropic day is dope;
Closing its sunny lids Again.
To sleep until the earer morn
Shall the reluctant day-star woo.
From out the bursting breast of dawn.
Queen of nil flowors of Heaven,
That llv’at alone in beauty's cup,
Aa Ihy fair petals touch my hand,
1 drink the sweets of angels up.
Or lay thy pearly leaves, all wet
With dew, to sooth tny s&d heart’s pain;
Then turn to pray, to sleep, to dream
Of days that come no moro attain;
When scented asphodola did clasp
The garden’s slender gateway land
With purple, wiry, twisted stems,
To hold it open for mr hand ;
Or climbing o’er the cottage nil,
Went roving in the woodbine’s gloom.
To lift its fringe-embroidered head.
And o’er the mossy poroh to bloom.
The ancients held thy mystic leaves
In sacred awe, as Virtue’s crown.
The csrvioff in the portal space.
Prize of great deed and hicb renown.
Hoping to find in Heaven’s light,
Flowers golden and of strange derice,
That long transplanted from the earth
Bloomed in oelestial Paradise ;

In wild, luxurious life we find—
The golden rod left in its place,
Whose fearless eyes ail open wide
To catch tho suu At onrly day,

- Chester County Politics.
(Correspondence of The Press.)
West Chester, Pa., Sept. 13,1859.
Tho political parties of this county arc now pro
vided with tiokots for .their support at tho next
general election. We aro moro fortunate than
somo of our sister counties, from tho fact that we
havo three tickets presented to tho public. For
this stroke of good fortune we are mainly indebted
to Mr. Buchanan. lie has succeeded admirably
In effecting a division of the Democratic party
hero, ns elsewhere, and tho result, of oonrso, will
bo an overwhelming defeat to us, and consequently
a largo triumph of tho Republicans,
Lot mo give you tho throo tickets as formed.
Ono weok ago to-day, the Democrats, adhering to
tho doctrine of popular sovereignty, as defined by
Sonator Douglas and all Democrats, savo those sus
taining the Buchannn Administration, mot, in
this plnco, nnd placed in nomination tbo following
gentlemen:

Director— Edward Gheen. Auditor— James v>. Lysle.
Surveyor— Rufus T. Guest.
On tho sftmo day tho Republicans inethoro also,
and formed tho following ticket, composed of both
Hickman and Brooinal! Republicans, thus to a very
great extent healing tho divisions which existed
this time last year in that party:
.(mr/iMy—lsaac Acker, Caleb Pierce. Win. J. Shafer.
Shiriff— Jacob lleffelfinaer. rnrofUr—B.K Smith. Dii
rici Attorney— Wavne MoVearli. Commissioner—Gk
rbtVindle. Treasurer— Jos. .1. 1 tmtin. Director— John
M. Krtton. Auditor— Clms. Downm#. Surveyor— Sainl.
R. Vnrko. ,
To-day tho Loeompton men mot and placed this
ticket before tho people:
Assembly— Ahm. Fetter*, John p. Bailer, Thomas
Reott. Sheriff— James lb Humphrey, Coroner—William
H. Latin. District Attorney— R. L. Monaghan. Comi-
M<jtjip;irr— Elijah Mcpionashnn. Iretnurcr— Ralph
Marsh. Direct or— Lewis M*xt<m. Arrfi tor— Samuel
Holman. Surveyor— PeterDampuian.
Most of thoso nominated, yon wilt rocognise, at
onco; and I need hardly troublo you with a close
scrutiny into their political history. The gentle
men nominated by tho true Democracy are amongst
tho most storling oitizons of our county. It is
freely acknowledged, on all sides, that hotter so
iectioDß wore never mado by any party.
Tho Republicans have nominated their old As
semblymen, who aro a fair average for capacity,
nnd tholr othor nominees aro gentlemen of re
spectability, nnd will fill the offices creditably.
On tho l.ecompton ticket aro several excellent
; oitizens, while others nro tho most odious that
could possibly bo placed in nomination, and all
forth weighod dowu with the most oxecrablo politi
cal sentiments that any set of men ever stnggcrcd
TWO CENTS.
under. They aro pledged to the teeth to carry out
Mr. Buchanan’s slavery propagandlsm,and are the
sworn enemies of Judge Douglal, repudiating both
him and bis Democratic doctrine of Popular Sove-
Tho adherents of these men, or at least
& majority of them, go all lengths to serve their
Southern task-masters. You may hear them
any day in tho week, at tho corners of our
streots, advocating, bluntly and boldly enough,
the worst heresies of the Southern fire-eaters.
Now you may well say, how is it possible that the
nominees of men entertaining such opinions can
get votes in such a ooanty as Chester ? The won
der is natural enough, but still they will get votes,
aaid some, too, from men who do not sympathise at
all with their vlows, but who are wedded to m
skeleton called organisation. They' see them
wearing the old garments of Democracy, and vainly
think the heart and soul lies somewhere beneath
tho desecrated folds in which they are enveloped.
They do not imagine the hollow and worthless
trank that is underneath, devoid of any vitality
aavo that which is for evil.
Great efforts are to be made to elect that special
“mountebank,” Monaghan, as you, Col. Forney,
very aptly called him, for District Attorney.- An
unusually large amount of money was raised by
the nominating Convention, and tne election of this
man Is supposed to be the objeot. Their hopes are
mainly resting and centering on the dofection'of
certain Broomall Republicans who are seeking an
unenviable revenge on their own candidate, be
oauseho was an eloquent friend of Hickman last
fall. Monaghan ia a special pet of certain ap
pointees from this county in your custom-house;
they are of his own calibre, intellectually, and will
no doubt act the laqqttey in the districts for him
during the canvass. This man has far several years
been looked upon as a common scold in the county.
And if he had worn petticoats, would have been
duoked before this. He has vented his coarse,
vulgar epithets on citizens of the most irreproacha
ble character, and but for the antics he constantly
enacts when on the rostrum, would long ago have
received personal chastisement for his abuse of good
men.
And then his Dom ocracy is of this kind—he has
been known to stand on our eleotlon ground all day
and disseminate tickets to defeat the Democratic
party. Some of his friends plead infancy in ex
tenuation of this conduct! -'Well, infancy is a
good plea for him, and the people of this county
will take good osre to do with nlm this fall, as a
mother does with a crooked, perverse, reckless,
ugly-disposed child, when she lays him over her
knee! Monaghan Is truly a ridiculous mounte
bank, and the privilege that was once asked for
him by a member when he was cutting his capers
in our State Legislature, “ That he might be per
mitted to stand on his head!” was just abont
suob a positiou as his character would naturally
call forth. There are plenty of Lccompton men
here who will not touch him, and he Is doomed to
be badly beaten, as he richly deserves to be. It
Would be a great disgrace to have this office, which
has been filled by snch distinguished men as Bar
nard Bell, Van Amringe, Hemphill, Hickman, and
others, dishonored by this Incompetent fellow—but
there is not a particle Of danger of this taking
place. lie will be effectually laid on the shelf.
The candidate for this office on the tloket of the
Popular Sovereignty Democrats, George W. Ro
bert?. Esq., is a very promising young lawyer, and
will poll a large vote. He isa fine speaker,highly
educated, full of fire and plitc/r, and will mako a
distino t mark in tho canvass. Vi.vdex, Jr.

I For The Frcss.j
Agrooabty to onr expectations, ten A. 51. of
Tuesday/August 23, found officers and men all on
board, afad our gallant little vessel ready to loose
from her .moorings off tho navy yard. As the
hands of our ship’s clock pointed to noon, the order
was given, and tho Wyoming glided gaily from her
anchorago, as If Impatient to plough the ocean
wave. Her compliment was one hundred and
thirty-three, officers and men. Fhe was officered
by tho following gentlemen:
Commander. John K.Jtltehell; First Lieutenant,
Francis K. Murray; Second Lieutenant, Earl
English ; Third Lieutenant, John R. flaraiUpn ;

As we passed the Princeton her crew manned
the rigging) and gave us throe hearty cheevs. to
which the “ Jack-tars " of the Wyoming as lustily
replied. Ere we bad fairly left our anchorage a
boat from tbenavy yard came alongside, and de
livered a letter to our commander, which proved to
be our orders to toueh at Charleston, S. C M on our
cruiso. This change of destination was received
with general satisfaction. Steaming leisurely
down the river, we reached Fort Miffiina little be
fore one P. sL,.aod at once the work of loading re*,
ammunition began. This detained ns all day,-and
till eleven A. M. of Wednesday. By that hour
all onrpowder and shell were aboard, and weighing
anchor, we steamed toward the Capes of the
Delaware. The morning being dull and rainy,
wo saw but little of the towns and beau
tiful residences along tbo river banks. Chester,
Wilmington and New Castle were successively
passed, and at tbo last-named place we parted
with Mr. Arohbold, tho EDgineer-in-Cbief of the
Navy, who bail hitherto honored us with his com
pany. As evening come on, the weather still con
tinuing thick, our pilot deemed it advisable to
anohor for the night, and wo did so. Thursday
morning, the 2otb, wo again got under way, and
before noon passed Capes May and Henlopen. The
breeze being rather favorable, after steaming past
the Capes our sails were set, and the Wyoming
bounded over the waves at tho speed of nine knots
per hour. The slight rolling of tho vessel after
passing Capo Henlopen, soon found its reflection
in tho countenances of the "land-lubbers" on boat'd,
and for several hours old Neptune held high carni
val around the bowsprit. Wo passed a fow vessels
during tbo day, and a steam-tug afforded us a wel
come opportunity to communicate with our friends
at homo. Onr next day, Friday, found us steam
ing over the billows at the average speed of nine
knots. The sea was smooth, and tho wide expanse
of ocean beautiful to the eye. By six P. 51., wo
passed Cape Hatteras, and rode gaily on towards
Charleston. Saturday dawned clear, and ourimorn
ing nows w«s an account of our having fallen ia
with tho U, S. steamer Fulton, about four A.M.
Her course was nearly parallel to our own, and we
had a little trial of speed with her It proved of
short duration howover, for in two hours tho Ful
ton was dropped astern, out of sight. Cepes Fear
ami Lookout wore passed during the day, and as
wo retired for tbo night, it was with the expecta
tion of entering Charleston harbor next moniiog.
Our hopes were not disappointed, for as we came
on decx next morning, Charleston light-boat was
alongside. Steaming very slowly we passed suc
cessively Forts Sumpter and Moultrie, with Castle
Pinckney, and at nine A. M. rode gallantly into
the harbor, anchoring off tho Battery.
Charleston, as it appears to astraDgor entering
its harbor, gives an inadequate idea of its she or
beauty. But, though our unpracticed eyes were
unable to discover all the attractions of Charleston
At a glance, a closer examination convinced us of
their existence. Tho anchorage of the Wyoming
was favorablo for displaying our shin to the city,
and the Battery to those on board. The Battery,
which is cortitnlv ono of the moat attractive por
tions of the city, is built directly into the bay, be
ing washed in front by its waters, and upon its
west side by the Cooper river. Somo of the most
beautiful private residences of the u Palmetto
oity” are built along the Battery, and on its ex
treme west is a large publio square, which is a po
polar promenade, and where a band of muaio plays
certain evoniogs of the week. The street in front
of tho residences is graded, and in the evening
many handsome oquipages may bo seen upon it.
Passing the residences on the Battery, and going
to the right, you find yourself upon ono of the
business streets of the citv, resembling, in many
respects, Water street, in Philadelphia. The post
office stands about hnlf way between the Aehloy
nnd Cooper rivers. It is a venerable-looking edi
fioo, and rather tho worse for wear externally, but
internally a convenient post office. Broad street,
nt right-angles with tho front of the Battery, is a
wido ami hand?omo street. The lower part of it,
is the scene of much bustle, many fine stores being
located on the west side, while upon the east side
are most of tbo banks and insurance offices of
Charleston. At the lour corners of Broad and
Meeting streets stand respectively St. Michael’s
church, (coeval with thn Revolution); tho city
guard house, tho court? house, and city hall. In
tho heart of tho square, between these four edifi
ces, tradition nffinns that there atood a statute of
Sir William Pitt. Wbon the British oannonaded
Charleston, during the Revolutionary war. St.
Michael’s spire afforded them a prominent mark,
and ono of the balls aimed at the steeple struck
Sir William, depriving him of an arm. Along
side of the City Hall, is another public square, and
nearly opposite the sqaare, on Mooting street,
stands tho Mills llouso, an excellent hotel. King
street, one square beyond Meeting, contains many
fine stores, somo of which vie with our Chestnnt
streot houses in size. The most striking charac
teristic of Charleston, and one peculiarly her
own, is the architectural beauty of her private re
sidences. These arc confined to no particular lo
cality, but Mooting. Broad, Hayne, and Rutledgo
streets may vie with tho Battery in palatial man
sions. Thoso elegant residences are rendered the
more attractive by their beautiful front yards,
whose gravelled walks, enclosed with living box,
and containing flowers of orcry huo and tropical
fragrance, afford a pleasing contrast to tho masonry
of the honsc3.
Our reception was truly Southorn in its hospi
tality. We had not been in tbo harbor an hour
ere tho editors of the Charleston Mercury and
Courier tendered us the hospitalities of their
*• sanctums,” and daily forwarded their exchanges
for our perusal. The Charleston Club” offered
us free admission at all hours to their elegant
rooms, where wo found journals from all parts of
tho Fulled States, nnd many European papers
also. On Monday afternoon, the steamboat Osiris
made an excursion to tho Wyoming, bringing a
largo crowd of ladies and gentlemen. Tuesday we
were visited by the Mayor and Councils. Our stay
had boon limited till Wednesday, tho 31st ult
But on Tuesday afternoon we received a tele
graphic despatch from tho Secretary of the Navy,
extending our stay five at the discretion of
our commander. This was in answer to an appli
cation from tbo leading citizens of the place, ask
ing that our visit might he prolonged On Thurs
day we were honored with an invitation to a con
cert, givon that evening at Institute Hall. This
is a spacious room, and had just been newly
painted and frescoed. It will become more
famous ere long, as it is bore that the
National Democratic Convention of 1860 ia to
hold its session. Tho weather m the evening was
threatening rain, and thus deprived us of the plea
suro of seeing some of Charleston a fairest daugh

ton hand, that gavo it- On Friday a party of
twelve of tho officers went on an excursion of for
ty-four miles upon the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad; being the guests of the road. Our desti
nation was the rice plantation of Mr. James Hay

tivated by 500 negroes. After a pleasant ride, at
10 A.M. we reached the point on the railroad

horses in readiness to eoorey os to the plantation.
A ride of a m’Je and a half brought os to the ele
gant mansion of Mr. H., where our party foend re
freshments awaiting ns. After resting a little
while, we started out on a tour of obeerratioa, eve
rything being entirely novel to tfca Northerners of
our party. We were soon at the rice field,and had
ample opportunities for observing the mode of ise
culture. The rice plant flouriahee only in water
and is alwara irrigated bv a stream a foot or; two in
depth. When the grain becomes ripe, the waterls
drained off, and the rice is then balvMted with the
rickle. The prevent crop looked well, and pro
mised an abundant yield. The fields of riot, when
the grain is mature, present a beaoafal appear
"nee. covered, as they are, with an unbroken ear
face of white.
From the fields, we again mounted our boreee.
end started for "White Hall," where we were to
dine. On the way, we saw and shot a young alli
gator, about three feet In length, whose jaws gave
n s an idea of the size of those of the fall-grown rep.
tire. We soon reached "White Hall," and were
speedily seated to a magnificent dinner. The fables
literally groaned under the lavishnet* of the re
oast, provided in the most profuse style of South
ern hospitality. After ell had enjoyed thedinner
to their heart’s content. Gen. Mania, the acting
president of the Charleston and Savannah Rail
road rose, and in a neat speech proposed as e toast,
“The United States navy and the officers of the
United States sloop Wyoming; we met asitnn
we part as friends." Captain Mitchell, ef
the Wyoming, replied in a brief bot appropriate
speech, toasting in return the Charleston and Sa
vannah Railroad, and its generous manager*. Af
ter e few moments of soeial com
pany rote, and remounting, we reached the rail
road at 3P. M. A few hours ride brought us btek
to Charleston, and compelled us to part too soon
with our generous hosts, whose kindness will ever
ho remembered bv the ofieera of tha Wyoming.
On Saturday morning, the last of oar. stay, the
Osiris again visited ns. remaining tJH just* before
we weighed anchor. She then steamed off; and as
we brought our ship around, her band stnai up m
national air. and her putengerf gave three hearty
cheers, to which our crew, manning the rlxcinr,
replied. With many regrets we then bade adieu
to Charleston, and with an abiding recollection of
the kind attention we had received during out
star. At Snllivan’s island we passed the Osiris,
, and at half-past two P M., discharging our pilot,
we stood oat for sea. Our speed was about elevea
knots, though sometimes we west at fast as twelve
for an hour or so; and with a bright, clear sky w#
made Capa Hatteras atSP.M. of Sunday. The
weather was beautiful, and onr day's aafi was
more of a pleasure excursion than a sea voyage.
But on Monday the weather changed, and we bad
rain, accompanied with a pretty stiff fcreese. Bat
despite tho adverse wind, our veeael steamed akmg
at the speed of ten knots, and 1 P. M. found us aft
Cape Henlopen. Theweatberatilloontinaedoloadj,
bat sufficient light was left to enable our pHot to
bring os up the river. As we went by Capo Key
we passed an outward-bound steamer. Steaming
steadily ahead, at 21 P. it wa reached the L*s?
retto, haring made our passage from Charleston bar
to capes of the Delaware in 46 hours and fortv mi
nutes. Next morning we passed the health officer,
and getting under wsy by 3 o’clock, at a little pest
nine anchored off the navy yard.
Thus ended our trial trip, a uniformly pleasant
one to nil onboard. Our engine, constructed by
Merrick A Sons, worked admirably, having made
as high as 79.6 revolutions per minute, and
averaging seventy-two revolutions throughout our
trip, The weather vu generally too fair to test
our canvass, but for the little time that wp ware
able to try our sails, the Wyoming sailed wall.
Officers and men feel proud of their vessel, and oor
little cruise to Charleston willerer be remembered

DENT KOfiA SEIZED AND SK3T OCT QT TS9
Panama. Wednesday. September £1,1859. —The
regular British steamer from San Juan del Norte
arrived at Aspinwall on the morning of the 3d
instant, having left that port oa the CTenlsgof the
Ist. Just before she left a small river steamer
brought the news that, through a revolution or
conspiracy. President Mora had been seized in the
night, white in bed, and sent to Guatemala; It 1>
also said that Senor Montealgre, of Ban Jose, he*
been made Provisional President, and that Mr.
Jay, an English merchant in Bon Jose, holds a
prominent position in the new Government. Tho
officers brought no papers, and could give no far
ther facts, but they stated that the news waa fully
believed in San Joan.
If President Morn has really been overthrown, I
think great injustice has been done him, and I do
not believe bis people will sanction the act I be-'
ltcro be is tho wisest and most honest of all the
Spanish American rulers. When a merchant, hi#
reputation as an honorable, upright man, was re
cognized by all his associates. Since he has beeo
President of Costa Rica, that little Republic baa
prospered immehsely, tod notwithstanding it*
sparse population, was considered as at the oetd
of the Central American States, Without Mora’s
courage .~:*<*y, and personal sacrifices. Nicaragua
and Costa Rice would, possibly, at thia day, be
under the sway of William Walker. Moranotonly
routed his people to take up arms as is a holy
war, and induce them tj pour their little means
into the coffers.of the State, to prosecute this war,
but he impoverished himself to do 2t. Hit finest
estate, worth $lOO,OOO, was mortgaged to raise
money to carry on tbo war, and this estate was ac
tually sold to pay the debt, the Government not
being able to meet It-
About six months since. President Mora, with
the advice and consent of Congress, exiled Llorente,
bishop of Costa Rica, for the crime of refuting to
obey an equitable law, which assessed a small
hospital tax upon him and his clergy, and for in
structing his clergy and curates to preach treason
from their pulpits. I have just a faint suspicion
that if Mora has been overthrown, this ohurch
affair had a goed deal to do with it. If the newt
is true, it is not probable.Preeldent Mora has been
sent to Guatemala, bat b&s gone to Nicaragua cu
tho railroad company’s steamer Guatemala.
.Sinco writing the foregoing, I have received the
following letter from Grevtown. It la not probable
the reasons given for President Mora’s leaving the
country are correct. F. w!b.
“ San Jeuf del Norte, Thursday, September 1,
1859.—The revolution was accomplished on the
morning of the 24th August President Mora was
seized after the guard had all retired. He was no
tified by a deputation that he was no longer Presi
dent, to which ho replied, ‘ Mat H*n r Son ore,*
( Very well, gentlemen.’) Half an hour after
wards he was on the road, 1 bag and baggage,* to
Punta Arenas. Mr. Montealegre, Mr. Jay, and
Mr. Alpress were of the deputation. It is supposed
that Mora got up the emrute. When en route to
Punta Arenas, accompanied by his brother-in-law
and General Canas, no was accosted by the pea
santry, who wore anxious to know why he was
leaving the coontry, and if he was ejected. He re
plied real he was not, but was on Government bu
siness. liia object is to get rid ( of eome satellites and
destroy the Congress, it is expected he will be re
called after his present friends shall hare re-mo
delled things to bis liking. President Mora, Joa
quin Mora, Gen. Canas. apd Senor Arquello failed
in the steamer Guatemala, on the 19th of August,
for Guatemala.”
San Jose, Costa Rica, Tuesday, Sept. 1,1859.
On the morning of the 14th we had a bloodless re
velation. The President, Don Juan Rafael Mora.
General Jose Joaquin Mora. Commander-In-Chief
of the army, General Jose Maria Canos, Minister
of Hacienda, and Don Mancel Arqnello, bar* bees
expatriated.
Generals Mora and Canaawere absent at the
time and tho whole affair was condnoted so quietly
that many persons in the city knew nothing of it
until several hour* after.
At a few minates past 5 o'clock a guard was de
spatched from the barracks to bring the President;
they found him in bed, and allowing him time to
partly dress himself, marched him off a prisoner.
He was then allowed until the morning of the 17th
to arrange his affairs, when he left for Punta
Arenas escorted by a guard, and embarked, with
the others mentioned, on board the steamship
Guatemala, for Guatemala. Ex-President Mora
nave ho will return and go the United Slates.
l>r. Jose Maria Montealegre has been appointed
Provisional President until there can be an election
held, which tho new party fays shall be truly Re

the leaves turn yellow, the twigs dry up, the fruit

then find no trouble in selling them at a higher
price than you can get if converted into cider,
rare, core, and dry carefully, either in drying
rooms, kilns, or in the sun, on sinpgf. or upon
sheets or boards, or stone or brick, keeping them
clean and free from wet. Then pack them m bar

they will command a full price.
