INDLIN TROIIBLES IN ALABILA--DISCOV.
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.

What would the old, age of civilized

old straddling spectacles for solitude?

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

their edges ; to meet one's friends with a

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

and almost miraculous success arrests the
progress of destruction, and repairs and
restores the waste that Time has already

A CORRESPONDENT thus writes of the-
Confederate burial place at Malvern:Hill,
"The. cemetery keeper offered to act as
ourguide, and, after showing us the fort
and its adjacent rifte-pits, he escorted us
to a large field on the northwest side of
the fort.; and there a most terrible scene
presented itself. Thousands of Confed&,.
rate soldiers who had fallen in their des
perate and persistent attempt to-take Fort
Harrison were buried -by the Confede
rates where they fell. 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.
Over the whole tract the bones are strewn
