Dispatches from Rear Admiral Craven have been received at'the Navy Depart ment, dated Mare Island, March 31st, givingan account of operations in Alaska, and the destruction of oertain Indian vil lages, the particulars o f which have al ready been published. Commander Meade, of the United States steamer Saginaw, reports that while on this expedition he entered the bay on the north-west end of Row Island which, from its advantages as a harbor, he, named Security Bay. It is about six and a ludimiles in extent, with an average depth of ten fathoms to an chorage, and .#oni nine to three fathoms elsewhere. Commander Mende consid ers it the beat rendasvous possible for a whaling Beet, superior to Atka' and a better site for a military post than Roots Naboo. It has never been entered by vessels of . war, but Hudson Bay Company's steamers have long re sorted to it and are well aware of its ad vantages. There were also discovered fresh fields of coal of Soota Naboo, one sewn being live feet wide. It can be worked:only at low water. It in believed Riaotz Naboo is avast field of coal. Ow ing to its resinous quality the coal is con• sidereC dangerous on ship board and 1 , great care has to be exercised with it.

Stackman and George Schmidt had been in the city . Saturday night and were returning home Sunday morning at the hour named, and when about midway on the bridge they were met by Jacob Jones, William . Mar shall and Peter Everson, who attacked them; using hnucklers and handy billies, knocking them down and• inflicting se rious injuries on two of the parties. Schmidt and Stackman. • Stackman re calved several severe cuts on the head and face and will probablylose the sight of one eye, and Schmidt was terribly beaten about the head and faee. ' The: injured men cried for help and the watchman on the bridge hearing their cries, ran to their assistance, when the ruffians fled. Each of the injured men made information before Justice Lipp, Charging the parties with felonious assault and battery, and warrants were issue& Officer John Stemier, of South Pittsburgh, arrested . Jones, and after a hearing he was held to bail in the sum of $l,OOO for his appear ce at Court in the three cases.aM hall was arrested yesterday morning, and in default of the required bail was commuted to jail. Everson is still at large. It appears that the parties all worked at Lewis, Oliver Phillips' rolling mill. to Birminghara, but the prosecutors state that they have..no acquaintance with their cuisallants, and consequently never had any difficuty before the affra3rlan the bridge. The object in , making this brutal and unprovoked as sault upon umuffending men can not .be explained, unieas it was with the inten tion to commit robbery, or perhaps they might have mistaken them for some other parties.

Two arts are absolutely necessary te toake old age tolerable: that of the opti cian and that of the dentist. Take away the old man's spectacles and leave his jaws to he dismantled without repair, and what wilt life be worth to' him? No wonder those very sensible people 'we call eavages, not having either of these helps, expect their children to. see that they are not lett to such a fate. When the eyes of the venerable warrior can no longer read ' the literature tattooed on his enemy's_ akin, when he has lost his 'teeth and can no longer do justice to the pfeet de reefs- ' lance furnished by the last skirmish of hie tribe, the eldest' os kindly dismisses him by a single blow of init.:war-club to that. better region rhere thegoodcannibala and become vegetable feeders, as we char- , itably trust. - • • ' - What would the old, age of civilized life be-even in Boston —without convex lenses to help the failing sight; jaunty eye-glasses for public occasions, honest old straddling spectacles for solitude?

Jalanders? Or take that other wrong of advancing years, the bitterest insult to the decaying bodily fabric which precedes the last "dia. grace and ignominy of our natures," as death is spoken of by Sir Thomas BroWn. To have the broad, manly jaws, once , glittering with enamelled ivory, changed to the `miserable likeness of a turtle's, by .the, gradual', absorption and thinning of their edges ; to meet one's friends with a face that shuts up' like an aecordeon; to mumble inarticulate words, with organs that once held the listener captive with • speech or song;. to come back of necesed- ty to the pulpy food of ,childhood, with out its innocent and unquestioning digei tion—what a fate to think of! and yet that is what nature has in store for the old and for many who are not old, save that art comes in and - with inthiite skill and almost miraculous success arrests the progress of destruction, and repairs and restores the waste that Time has already made.--Dr. O.

Twenty acres or more have just -been plowed .up by' the owner of the field, and the plowshare turned to the surface all these skeletons.
