In the middle of Septeraer, 184C, Kit Carson, in command of fifteen xnen, was sent aa'a bearer of important despatches to jlc was instructed, to strain every nerve t0 make the journey in sixty days, an chievment which, until then, we blieve, had never been accomplished. Carson's intimate knowledge of Indian character enabled him to avoid several threatened !l'i;icn3 with hostile savages, until the 6th f October, when he met General Kearney :-h a strong detachment of United States Atwr receiving his report, Kearney 8nt the despatches by another person, and w.L- ( arson witn mm as a guiae. The trapper proved of invaluable service .a & euide. Warner's Ilanche was reached early in Peceniber, from which place the line march was taken up to San Diego. While on their way to this point they 1'irncd that a powertul band ot Mexican fiKfL.rnians (who -fr noted for their -rrraoruinary biL .J;tJd prowess) had taken uo a position, with the intention vttackinz them. (Icneral Keamey advanced until within .-.,P3 miles of the encampment, when halt was made. A. reconnoitering party w snt out. and learned that the Mexican vr-re posted in an Indian village. The impetuous Kearney resolved ao at tacking them without delay, and the march was resumed a uttie oeiore n When within a mile of the enemy, the advance guard of the Americans suddenly came upon a small body of Mexicans, and 9 chiro skirmish immediately ensued. Kit Carson was one of the attacking party, and found that the anair was but the prelud to a most desperate fight. They attempted to secure the loose -nimals of the enemy, but they were so scurlv guarded that the attempt failed Another trial was made with a much larger force. Kit Carson was one of the foremost ia the charge, and, when going at a rapid rallop, his horse fell and threw him with ich force that the stock; ot ins rine was shattered. Before he could rise, nearly th whole rartv passed over him. but rrovidentially, without serious injury. hen aii had passed, parson rose, ana fs-ein a dead dracoon near, he took his pun ani cartridgebox, and plunged into the thickest of the fight. The fight was fiercely contested, a number of Americans Lein killed : but the Mexicans were dis l: J?ed at last, and compelled to retreat. A slnzular and sad fatality now befelthe Americans. Nearly all were mounted upon mules whi-h, being untrained, became so infernal It stubborn as to be entirely unmanageable The cavJ.ry, despite the most furious exertions, could not prevent being widely j-rarated. seeinjr which, the Mexicans turned about and made at them again.

General Kearney had sent three mes Hners to Commodore Stockton at San Mego previous to the battle, but whether t"?7 hid succeeded ia reaching him he "uM only conjecture.

The inarch was continued until late in l-e day, the Mexicans constantly hovering ct-ir them. when, as our friends were in a f-ort distance of the water where they landed camping, their enemias divided !"to two commands, and charged upon them. A hot fight took place, but the Americans ?re compelled to give way, and to retreat t3 Lid near at hand. The Mexicans withdrew to a neighboring "1 from which they opened a deadly fire cr"a the Americans. A party was sent t, and succeeded in dislodging them, ten Kearney and his forces took up their Pitioa there. The situation of the Americans was now 'ical, indeed. There was bo little water, j't none could be given their animals, ftere was an abundance of it within a short 'ance, but they did not dare attempt to it on account of the Mexicans, who tere hovering around, waiting for some p'r u.nity o f woop down upoo them. rovisione had grown so low that the were compelled to live upon mules, '"owing desperate at the fearful straits, Jwhcr council cf war was held in the jtraoon, at which it was determined that ref mast be secured somehow. BatAoic.f was the all-important ques Everything that could bo thought was freely dicussed until, when despair . settling upon all, Kit Carson rose to ft, and atatejd that h wa ready to r?e tl Aitat if Taping thrrgh li noes. and. if h Bmuj l.i would carry xmmediats word to the Com modore it San Diego, and thus bring them succor. Lieutenant Beale, of the United States Javy, instantly volunteered to accompany lam and General Kearney at once accepted the heroic offer, as it really was the only plan which afforded the least hope. The Mexicans were more numerous, bet ter mounted, and had demonstrated their courage so unequivocally, that it was cer tain, if the Americans left the hill, they would be instantly attacked, and, in all probability massacred. Few preparations were necessary, and these were immediately made by the two men, and they only waited for the coming of night to make the attempt. There was no moon, although the sky was clear and the darkness was great enough to favor the effort. Before start ing, it was recalled that the moon would rise after a few hours, so that it would not do to make any delay in the matter. Sinking down upon their hands and kness, they began creeping forward in the most silent manner, moving very slowly and with their senses constantly on the aiert, to detect the first appearance of danger. 1 They had moved but a short distance in this manner, when the dark outlines of a horse was seen, and closely by him stood his master. The two heroes sank lower upon the ground and scarcely moved. The great fear was that the intelligent horse might scent them and give the alarm ; but both he and his master remained motionless, and they were soon left in the darkness. At this juncture the men discovered that in spite of their utmost precaution, their shoes would occasionally make a gratin noise over the pebbles and ground. To guard against betrayal, they removed their snoes, and lastened them to the belt around their waist, and then crept on asain. The Mexican sentinels were ail mounted and three rows deep. It looked very much as tho' they were expecting something like this, and had done their best to against it. It was found impossible to keen out o sight these men, and both Carson and Beale dare not relax their precaution for a second as there never was a moment when they were not in the most imminent dan re r discovery. XTa J .nut. a. wora was uttered, uarson was a few feet in advance ; upon him chiefly depended the avoidance of peril by discover : i i . .i , iug tueuj5eives to tne sentinels, who an- peared to he all about them. A mile was passed in this tedious, painfu manner, and they were not yet out o! danger, so they crept on, foot by foot, and in utter silence, their senses on the alert while the keen eye of Carson pierced the darkness m every direction. The result might be fatal, yet it could not take the prince of guides by surprise. V l t -i .eariy anoiner miie wa3 passed, and hope was beginning to rise, when they were startled by the tramping of a horse s reet,and the next instant he was discerned rapidly galloping toward them in the doom Both men sank flat upon their faces and lay still. Ilather than expose themselves they were willing to he motionless and allow the horse to ride over them. But when a few yards away and in ful view, the horse paused and the rider dis mounted and proceeded vewL leisurely to i:t.i. - - ngnfc a cigarette. Suddenly his match flashed up, and look ing at the starlike point of light, they could distinguish the swarthy face of the Mexican, lit up For the instant, and then all wa3 blank darkness asun. During these fearful moments of suspense, while the two forms were stretched motion less as death, Kit Carson, as he always affirmed afterward, distinctly heard the beatinz of Lieut. Beale's heart. They were trving moments indeed, and for a time it looked as though all was lost ; but providentially, the Mexican finally mounted his horse and rode away in an opposite direction. Arain the painful march was taken up, and when fully two miles were passed, they could discern nothing of their enemies, and found they had, at last eluded all the sentinels in safety, and rising to their feet, they grasped each other's hands. During the excitement of the last hour or two, they had both lost their shoes from their belts, ii. J a.. i r Ti and were now ccmpeuea w eo Dareioou it was too late to recover them and they were yet m danger. Carson's familiarity with the country enabled mm to taxe tne ngnt route to Diego. He avoided the regular trails and roads, as he knew these were all well guarded and it would be almost impossible to escape capture. His way led him over hills, rocks and stony tracts, where the prickly pear grew in such abundance that their feet were soon put in torture from the many wounds re ceived. All the next day they journeyed forward. Their feet were hurt and bleeding from the pears, so numerous that it was found im possible to avoid stepping upon them. They had not a particle of food with them, but they kept up without difficulty, and put their physical endurance to its utmost test by hurrying forward with scarcely more than a moment s halt. When night once more settled upon them, they were still pressing onward m the same resolute manner ; for they fully realized the dire straits in which they had a A eft their friends behind them. A few hours later, the keen eye of Kit Carson distinguished the dark outlines of San Diego; a few minutes later they were challenged by the American sentinels. On stating their business, they were shown into Commodore Stockton's presence who listened attentively to their narrative.) With bis characteristic promptitude, the Commodore instantly detached a command of one hundred and seventy men, with orders to make forced marches until they reached their besieged countrymen. Carson and Beale were so used up that they did not retnrn with the command, but the former described the place so well and graphically, that there was no fear of their going astray. The men made all haste to tb relief of General Kearney and his command ; but tire wiry MexieaBj fcHL iflti, their sp-1 proach, and quietly withdrew without offer ing battle, after which the two commaads united and made their way to San Diego without further disturbance from their enemies. Kit Carson was "laid up" for awhile with his wounded and inflamed feet, but he recovered in a short time, and was ready for duty again. But Lieutanant Beale, unaccustomed to such exposure and hardship, suffered more severely. He became partially insane, and was taken on hoard the frigate Congress for medical treatment. Two years passed before he recovered completely from this memorable night's adventure. The Equalization of Bounties. The House of Representatives passed a bill equalizing bounties last week. The only opposition came from the Democrats, a number of whom voted against the bill. The measure gives a bounty to every sol dier who served between April 12th, 1861, and May 9th, 1865, at the rate of 8 dol lars per month, less all bounties received from the United States and State govern ments. Underming the City. The Wilkes-Barre Record says : "The Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company has effected a lease of over 100 acres of coal within the limits of the the City of Wilkes Barre. This heralds the approach of coal breakers, shafts, branch roads, etc., in this heretofore popular locality, and will check the downward tendency of population and upward course of real estate. It seems a pity to spoil so many city lots with anything so practical as a coal mine, but a night or two without a supply of fuel this week will take such romantic notions out of a great many people. It will be well if the whole city shall not be left without a solid founds tion at some time in the future. Sewing Machines. Senator Cameron, in a recent debate called attention to the jobbery on the part ot persons interested in patent rights "Look," he said, "as it regards sewing ma chines. Here is a machine in which the poor people all over the country are inter ested, that does not cost in its most expen sive form more than fifteen dollars, and yet it is sold lor seventy-five or eighty dollars Every year comes in some inventor as he calls himself puts in some little addition to the original patent, and he gets seven years more ; and at the end of this seven years seven years more, uur patent rights were mtcnaea to terminate at a snort period, so that the public should be benefited by them i in ins tne sewing machine business one of the most glaring systems of wrong in the A. f Cl a. n 1 . 1 country. senator uamcron is rurnt. and will be borne out by every house-keeper in the land. There is no reason, if all patents on sewing machines were abolished, why they should not be sold at one lourth the price now demanded. THE ROSS CASE. The Search Still Progressing. I he search for Lharley Koss not seem to abate by reason of the hitherto unsuc cessful attempts to find him. On Friday, February 12, Mr. Christian K. Ross, the father, and Detective McKibbin, of this city, arrived in New Brunswick, N. J., on foot, much fatigued. They had left South Amboy in the afternoon, having visited every human habitation between the latter place and Washington, on South river, on a clue given them at South Amboy, by Charles Applegate, who was on familiar speaking terms the kidnappers, Mosier and Douglas, ahd who knew that they were in the habit of sailing up the Raritan river as far as Chesapeake creek in August and September. They were guided in the search by Mr. Applegate, who also accom panied them. Mr. Ross and the detective held a consutation with Mayor De Rossy and Chief-of-Police Oliver, with the view of securing their assistance. The search was continued in all the country round abut New Brunswick on Saturday, and on Sunday and Monday of this week, and much valuable information, it is said was obtained. On Monday night Mr. Ross re turned . to the city, too weak to continue the search, he and Detective McKibben having been gone since the bth instant, during which time Red Bank, the High lands, and botn bants oi the itaritan river were thoroughly inspected. Mr. Ross was, however, well enough to be out yesterday A Two Years' Stay Law. A bill has been presented in the Senate at Harnsburg, which, if passed, will do more to bring about an era of good time than apy other piece of legislation we have yet noted. I he act declares that there shall be a stay of execution for two years from its passage on all judgments exceeding $100 now existing, and other judgments from the date of the execution of the instrument, provided that the defendant is possessed of real estate within the respective county or counties in which such judgment shall have been obtained, and shall give security for i.s payment and satisfy the Court that he or they are the bona fide owners of property worth double the amount of the judgment, and all other debts and incumbrances. - In all cases where the defendant can satisfy the Court that a majority of his or their creditors, whose demands exceed two-thirds of his or their entire indebtedness, have atrreed in writing to extend the time of payment of the debts due them respectively, the Court shall direct that no execution issue except as agreed upon. No person, bank, firm or broker holding callaterals for debts due shall sell the same within two years irom the talcing enect or this act, provided that this act shall not be construed to stay an execution issued sixty days after the passage to collect interest due or becom ing due on any judgment, not -less than $500, heretofore obtained. The passage of some such law as this is eminently desirable at this time to relieve those in moderate circumstances. A wealthy old farmer took his seat at a bote! table, when a dandy lieutenant of the navy opposite, leveled his eye glasses square open bins.

Fifty-nine towns and villages are situa ted along the line of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. Our State still makes one-half of the pig iron produced in the country, Ohio and New York coming next. A colored woman named Lucy Hawkens died in Washington city on Monday at the advanced age of 115 years. - There is rejoicing in Reading over the resumption of work in the shops of the Reading Railroad Company. The centennial buildings in Philadelphia will cover twenty acres, and to lessen the fatigue of a thorugh visit, an elevated rail way is projected. The valuable library of Hon. C. L. Ward, of Towanda, has been donated by his heirs to Lafayette College, at Easton. It con tains 13,000 volumes. The Wilkesbarre authorities have voted an appropriation of six hundred loaves of bread, which number is distributed among the poor of the city three days in each week. A burning gas well in Butler county makes summer weather in its neighborhood. The trees are budding the grass growing in the charmed circle of its influence. The widely prevalent pneumonia is rar ing as an epidemic in some parts of Con necticut. Congestion of the lungs is speed ily followed by congestion of the brain, and the patient, unless relieved, dies in a few hours. The mining interests of Canada, al though yet in their infancy, already amount to upwards of $5,000,000 annually. Four teen thousand men are directly employed in mining and allied industries, which would represent a population of 75,000, besides many indirectly. A iamuy named r ranee, residing in Meyersdale, Somerest county, has suffered a terrible bereavement recently. Three children, aged respectively one, three, and seven years, fell victims to the "red fiend of the nursery" scarlet fever, within peried of two weeks, and this included all the little ones in their household. One would have hoped that the potato bugs would have been completely frozen out and exterminated by the extreme cold weather of the last eight weeks, but this appears not to be the case. A Chester county farmer informs the West Chester iiepuoiican, tnat ne has on several oc casions this winter found these bugs lying dormant under ground or beneath shelter, and that on being warmed up they all show aigns ot active life. It would appear from this that we are to have another attack of the enemy next season. The West Chester RrpvJblican says "Some humbugging individual is traversing the rural districts peddling a preparation to render coal oil non-explosive. He charges $5 for this powder which is nothing but common salt. There is an increasing demand for stringent laws aginst these traveling agents, for in scarcely one case out of a dozen is the article offered for sale of any value whatever. Notwithstanding this there are many people simple-minded enough to buy any clap-trap that comes alonsr on the mere recommendation of the seller. The State has beneficent laws protecting idiots : let it extend its provisions and protect these dolts from sharpers. An Indian, who had recently come forth from the forest to join the lobbyists of the JMame Legislature, thus appealed to a Sen ator the other day : "Senator, you report bill no killum moose for five years 7" "Yes," replied the benator.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says : During the past week a man, representing himself as an agent of the Philadelphia and Read ing llailroad Company, has been gome among widows and poor persons, stating to them that the company was now distribut ing coal to those in need, the money for hauling only being asked in return. He obtained several sums ranging from one to two dollars, from poor men and women, who were very deeply disappointed upon being told, at the office of the company, to which they repaired when finding the coal was not being delivered, that they had given their money to a swindler. This very miserable scoundrel should be watched. The sensational story telegraphed through the country a while ago from New York that figures gathered at the transit of Venus had developed the fact that the earth was plunging towards the sun at a rate that would land us there in 1,400 years did not cause great anxiety at the time for various reasons. Our largest eases are only 999 years anyway, and, as this left a margin of 401 years additional, the report produced no effect upon the stock market, and so failed to disturb our cents of security, so to speak. However, Mr. Richard A. Proctor has taken the mat ter up and shows conclusively its absurdity by the very simple illustration that, if tho earth had, during the last century, drawn one-thirtieth of her distance nearer to the sua, the year would now be eighteen days shorter than it then was. But in fact, the difference between the Chaldean sidereal year and our own is not more than two minutes, which indicates that if we have approached the sun at all it has been at the rate of eight miles in a hundred years, and even this is doubtful, since the Chal dean astronomy did not profea to abso Inae afuysy. Nicholas Drnmheller, of Jackson town ship Northumberland county, says he made a pair of shoes that were worn twenty-ont years. Catholicism has had a remarkable growth in New England, mostly, though not wholly, as the result of immigration, with in the past forty years. In 1825, there was one priest in Massachusetts, one in Maine, and one in New Hampshire. In 1835, there were in New England twenty seven priests and twenty-two Catholic churches. In 1814, the number of Catho lic churches in New England was about 60,000, and there were thirty priests and thirty-seven churches. In 1875, there are about one million of Catholics, with one archbishop, five bishops, 411 priests and 432 churches. MARRIED. On the 16th inst., at the house of Mr. Wm Acker, of Bushkill, by Rev. Q.
