AUSTRIA,
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says : The misunderstanding between
the Austrian Government and that of the
United Stated is likely lo be a serious one.
0:i the 5ih, the Italian and Hungarian refu
gees in Constantinople gave Sir JNJarsh a

came out on his balcony and gave a cheer
t tha fiee.lom of the United Slates, Italy,
and Hungary On the 13th, as soon as the
two Austiaiti frigates, Bellona and Novarra,
tailed into Smyrna harbor, the United Slates
sloop weighed archor and left. This cir
cumstance is related by I lit Austnan paper
with fir) appearance of satisfaction, but in my
opinion this Government will at no distant
period have cause to me the day on which
it gave America an opportunity of picking a
quarrel. The Aust.ian press asserts that the
assassin of the young cadet a certain Ras-
sitz an Hungarian was in the service of Mr,
Lewis, tbo English clergyman, and it is hin
ted that the revet end gentleman connived at
the murderer's escape. It is neeeseary to
ay that any charge against a man with a
drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in his veins leadi
ly obtains belief ?.

Chester, of Providence (I!. 1.) has given an
important decision in a liquor case, in which
the w itness who swore to Ihe sale testified
that he purchased the linuor for the pur nose
of having ihe defendant convicted. The
judge decided I hat upon iho uncorroborated
testimony of a man who would go upon the
aiand and swear exultingly that he had in
dueed Ihe defendant to commit the crime
for the purpose of having an opportunity lo
swear against him lhat it took away the
safeguard which the law had thrown around
'he citizen for his protection, and the security
of a fair and impartial trial when accused of
crime. He judged the defendant not guilty,
and ordered him to be disohaigeJ. This de

GOLD DIMOVERtE IN OREGON.'
The following letter from Copt. Wm.Tich
enor, formerly of this cily, communicates
some Intelligence of new discoveries of gold
in Oregon, which we have not seen staled
elsewhore. The same letter mentions that
J. S. Gamble, also formerly of this city, had
previously left Port Orford :
' PonT Orford, Oregon Territory, )
March 1st, 1853. (
This is a beautiful country, and is settling
very fast. There are a great number of men
employed here in getting out timber for the
San Francisco market. It is mostly of white
ceilar, the most beautiful wood 1 ever saw.
There is a great abundance of it in this sec
tion of Oregon, but there is very little in other
seelions. It surpasses white pine, and sells
in S.in Francisco in the square hewn form,
for mora than the ready sawed Oregon lum
ber. There is a very large Indian trade, and
there are generally from ten lo Ihirty in one
place at a litno. Otter skins are worth here
fiom $50 lo 8100 per skin. A person here
with a 50-horse engine, lath and planing ma
chine, two upright and one ciicular saw,
which would cost about S8000, could make
about 8100,000 a year. The price for lum
her dressed per M. would not exceed $16,
and tho freight Irom here to San" Fiaticisoo
815, making an expense of $31 ; the lumber
will sell for $90, and thus a profit of $59 w ill
be made per M. If there should be only
$30 profit, a smart and industrious man
could make 375,000 a year. There is no
timber on this side of the continent at this
time of the kind, and Eastern manufacturers
cannot ship it and sell it for less than $5 per
M.
I am now washing out gold at the rate of
ten dollars nn hour. Two others by the side
of me, with the assistance of a squaw, (for
an Indian man is not worth his food,) are
making $50 a day. We will have thousands
of iuhabitnuis here in a few months, as gold
is everywhere iu this vicinity. All the sol
diers in the garrison are at work making
from $20 a day upwards, but none less than
$16. No person would work for Ihe gold,
until my patliier tried, and after two or three
hours' woik ho was offered $35 for what was
in his machine, which ho took. Tho next
day he worked about 4 hours, and again sold
his sand for $40. On investigation it was
found that ho had sold $60 worth of gold
for SC5, and $S0 worth for $40. We have
taken out SS0 worth in two bonis and forty
minutes, and then let escape $10 worth.
This was the fust mining done here, and
now it is ascertained that it will yield a rich
reward, everywhere along the beach.

CALAMITIES IM TEltSlA.
Letters from Erzeroum, dated from Telle-
ran to May 19th, and from Tabreez to Ihe
29lh, supply ihe following details of the late
calamitous occurrences in lhat country,
brief statement of which has already been
given :
On Ihe 3d of May, the towns of Shiraz and
Cushan were levelled to tho ground by a
violent earthquake, destroying 15,000 souls
in the former, and 3,000 in the latter place,
and entirely drying up the fine river Zsian-
dervood, upon which the town of Ispahan, in
a great measure, depends for its supply of
water. The drying up of ihe river was fol
lowed by an extraordinary flight of locusts,
which, in a few hours, laid waste the luxu
riant crops of wheat & barley, and destroying
the blossoms ol tho fiuit trees. At Khoras-
san, a pestilence broke out in the mouth of
Rejab ( pril,) und lypus fever of the most
deadly nature was raging throughout Astra-
bad, Mamaderan, and the Turcoman desert;
whilst at Teheran, on the 16 h of May,
where cholera morbus was carrying ofT no
less than 150 souls per diem, an inundation
had swept away 18 dwelling houses, a pub
lie bath, the ice dennt, and several men.
women, and children. Fortunately for the
city (for otherwise the consequences to lifo
and property would have been much moro
serious,) Ihe water from the fosse or ditch
which surrounds it burst out on the plain,
washing away the most luxuriant crops of
corn and forests of fniil trees, with a number
of horses and other cattle. In the midst of
all these calamities, whilst Ihe Shah and his
court have fled to Imama, ihe Prime Minis
ter and his relations carry out their diabetica
system of nppiession of the poor, turning n
deaf ear to the petitions and complaints ol
the people unless accompanied by a fee, and
such is the extent of this corrupt practice.

IMPORTANT FROM THE FIHtlERIES.
American Vc$sels Arriving. A Collision Ex
pected. Washinutow, August 9. Intelligence re
ceived here fiom the fishiig gronnds, create
some uneasiness. Some fifteen or twenty
American vessels have arrived there from
Glowcester, Mass., New Castle, New Hamp
shire, and Kiltery, Maine, armod with mus
kets, boarding-pikes, cutlasses and swivels,
determined to fight, if interfered with.
Heavy operators have laid up their vessels at
the wharves, employed their men on shore,
and invested money in Ihe new movement.
A collision is daily expected.
The Eastern people are said to be satis
fied with reciprocity, but are all in arms
against the proposed regisliy ot English ves
sels to control the coasting tiade. It seems
that the fishermen are turned, leporla lo tho
contrary, notwithstanding.

Mr. Editor.
Permit me through the columns of yor.r
paper to recommend ROBEIIT CAMPBELL,
senior, of Hush, as a man in every respect
qualified lo serve the people in thu office of
County Commissioner. Mr. Campbell has
ever been a sleiling Demociat. of the Jeffer
souiiui school, always ready to seive his party
in carrying out the wishes of lh people, and
ever foremost in rendering his hearty support
in cases of irj jug emergencies A man more
competent to till ihe ollice. could net be louud
in the county. He is an honest, industrious
and hatdwoiking man one who is well ac
quainted with Ihe interests of the woiking
class, and just tho man we want to en-ute
satisfaction to thu people Should ho bo
elected, the people will havo in him, n man
w ho knows and feels their wants, and w ho
will not hesitate tu satisfy them- Judging
fiom the past life of Mr. Campbell I cannot
refrain from declaring to tho people his
qualifications lo be ampin to ennre him lo
make an able and active Commissioner, and
discharge the duties of the olfiee with fidelity.

nessing Ihe first paiade o the "Shamokin
Grays," under ihe command of Mai. Luke,
w no, oy in imiusiry Hue, petseveiance, was
mainly instrumental in gelling up the com- i
pany.
Their dress U according to the new style !
adopted for the Uvular Army; and, when
completely trimmed, will be, in point of
neatness and beauty, superior to any uuifoim
pi thu Comity.
Thu company is composed mostly of very
young men, but their soldioily deportment
excited general admiration; mid I noticed
several iu the ranks, whose appearance in
dicates that alter a little evpeiieneu they
themselves will be 'Ready" to wear the
"Feathers," and become tin) heroes of some
future Monterey or Cliupultepte.
In the t'vernin the company met in the
Town Hall and elected Maj. D.ivid N Lake
for Captain; and for Lieutenants, Joseph Hea
der, Samuel Yost and William Lake.
In Ihe selection of tho Maj ir as their com
mander, they have exhibited their own od
Judsment, und paid n met iled compliment
to his supeiior skill as an officer, ami his em
inent worth as a citizen.
