At the head of that valley was the pass, described to him by . old hunters. With his glasses he could see the depression in (he mountain which marked its place. He had taken a -focal guide from the Puehlb San Carlos to lead him to that pass. But this preeauitoh fair safety Was the passport'to disaster. He was behind, with his faithful draughtsman, Preuss, when'he Saw his guide leading off hia Company toward a man of mountains to the left -. he rode op and stopped them, rernonsttared withihe guide for two hours, and then yielded to his posi tive assertion that (he pass was there. The company entered a tortuous gorge, following a valley through which ran a head-stream of the great River Del Norte. Finally they came to where the ascent was to begin, and (he summit-range crossed. The snow was neop ; the cold intense, the acclivity steep, Sad the htige rocks projecting.

It Was the Winter solstice, and at.n place where (he Summer solstice, brought no life (o vegetation—no thaw to congelation. The summit of the sierra was bare of everything but snow, ire and rocks. It was no place to halt. Pushing down rhe side of the Moun tain to reach (he wood three miles distant, a new and awful danger presented itself: n snow-storm raging, Ibo freezing winds beat ing upon the exposed caravan, the snpw be come too deep for the mules hr move-in, and the cold beyond the endurance of animal life. The one hundred and twenty mules, huddling together from an instinct of self-preservation from eaobpther's heat and shelter, froze stiff as they stood, and fell over like blocks, to be come hillocks of snow. Leaving all behind, and the msn’a lives only to be saved, the dis comfited and freezing party scrambled back, tCcrossing the summit, and finding under (he lee of the mountain, some shelter from the driving storm, and in the wood that war means of nihktog fires.

In 1841, the Rev. Thomas L.

Mr. Millerthough dissuaded by aft his friends, entered suit agaidsttlie'Ruf fians; for doing which he Was taken -by a mob oh his way from' Columbia end most brutally beaten-being left on the highway for a dead mad; However he finally recov ered, end had the mortification of seeing his Kendall suit ruled out of court by a name sake and near relative of the notorious “Bor der-Ruffian," Stringfellow, and his own treat ment upheld by (he Slavery sentiment of the •community. He waS told that there was no WWJbrthe “ Abolitionist.” Josiah Miller, the suhjeMotfhis Sketch, was born in 1828; was with his fatber when mobbed; and though young, did not fail tofbeognize in it the nat oral cb'arScteMSlicS of the B)afek-4irtiiluiion, At the age of eighteen he went * university education, and finished his law course at’'fnff‘Tnuromrr«x.h—i,a^ w .y nr t In the Pall of 1854, after the repeilof the* Missouri ’Compromise, hedelermined to Settle ih Kansas and devote alt his efforie to estab lishing Freedom' there. Accordingly, at Lawrehce, ih conjunction With R. G. Elliott of Ohio, ho issued a Ftie-Soil paper, under the very significant (ttleef Tie Kansan Free State— a name Strictly indicative of its prin ciples. • ’ It Was no Sooner khow in South Carolina (hat he. was editing 0 Free-State paper, than tbefe Was great'Czcitemeni, and' he was de nounced in the papers as “ a traitor to the institutions of the South," and it was said that be ought to be hung. At length, becom ing more exasperated, they determined to raise a company of men, arm and equip them, and send them ta Kansas with a commission (b bang Miller, and destroy his press, on the above-named charge; This company arrived in Kansas, and did arrest Miller, and would have hung him had it not been for other in terference. They then, in the sack of Lawrence, destroyed his press and all his properly, and placed the “lone star,” thjt emblem of Nullification, secession and tyranny, over its ruins, indicative of a glori ous triumph. Miller, disarmed and hunted down like a wolf by these worse than blood bounds', eluded their grasp by going into lowa, to the Very borders of which he was pursued. He is still there raising funds to reestablish The Free State in Kansas, which he will do ah soon 1 as he obtains' sufficient Support,' Ss his whole fortune wa* destroyed-in the fated Lawrencd 1 . It may be proper here to say Xiiat The Kansas FHe State was the first, or among the first, ptfpdfs in the nkiionwhieh placed John C. Fremont at "the head of ils column's Ibr President.

The survivors ' were brought in by Godey, some crippled with fro zen feet. Fremont found himself in a situa tion which tries the soul—which makes the issoe between despair and heroism, and leaves no Alternative but to dink under fate or to rise abovft it. His whole - outfit was gone; his ‘ valiant mountain men were one-third dead, rtany Crippled; be wad penniless -and in a strange place; He resolved to g 6 forward— nolia vestigia reirorstm —to raise another : outfit, and turn the mountains by the Gils. In a few days it Was nil donb—men, horses, arms, provisions—alt acquired, abdtfae expe dition resumed. But it was no longer the tried band of mountain-men on whose vigilance, Skill and courage he could rely to make their way through hostile tribes. They wete new • men, ftnd to avoid danger, not to overcome it, was his resource. The Navahoes and Apaches had to be passed and eluded—a thing difficult to be done, as bis party of thirty men and double as many horses would make a trail hk followed .jo the snow, though not deep. He took an QHlrSpicnr-TOim~,. and relied upon the secrecy and -celerity of his movements. The fourth night on the dangerou*ground the bones, picketed with out the camp, gave signs of alarm; they were, brought within the square of fires, and the men put on the alert. Daybreak came without visible danger. The camp moved off; a man lagged a Utile behind, contrary to injunctions; the crack of some rifles sent him running up. It was then clear that they were discovered and a party hovering around them. Two Indians were seen ahead; they might boa decoy Tor a wstch, to keep the party in view until the neighboring Warriors could come in. Evasion was uo longer pos sible ; fighting Was oufctof the question, for the whole hostile country was ahead, and narrow defiles to be passed in the mountains. All depended upon the addrehs of the com mander. Relying upon his ascendant over the savage mind, Fremont took his interpre ter, and went to the two Indians. Godey Said he should not go alone, and followed. Approaching them a deep ravine was seen between. The Indians beckoned him to go round by the head of the ravine, evidently to place that obstacle between him and his men. Symptoms of fear or distrust would mar his scheme; so he went boldly round, accosted them confidently, and told his name. They had npver heard it. He told them they ought to be ashamed not to know their best Triend; inquired for their tribe, which he wished to see, and look the whole air of confidence and friendship. He saw they were staggered. He then invited themtogotohiscamp, where the men had halted, and take breakfast with him. They said that might be dangerous— that they had shot at one- of his men that morning, and might have killed him and now be punished for it. He ridiculed the idea of their hurting his mew, charmedlbem into the campy where they ate, and smokedfand told their secret, and became messengers to lead their tribe in one direction,, while Fremont and hts men escaped by another ( and the whole expedition went lbrough , without loss and without molestation,,A subsequent Win ter expedi lion, completed the design of this one, so disastrously Trust rated by the npista ke of a guide, fyepaont went put again, updo his own expense—went to ihe kppf Whole the S tilde barf gone the course escrlhed hy the mpuh’fsun men—and, found sab pnd easy passes alt ilte.wiy Jpjpaltjbi;- nja, through 9, good country, and Upon the 1 straight'line of 38 and 39 degrees.

Jeffersomsaid that Congress has a legal right to interdict slavery in the Territories of the Slates, Buchanan denids Congress that power [ and virtually declares Jefferson's ordnance of 1 ! 87, to be unconstitutional, still he professes to be the perfect embodiment of the original democracy t Thomas Jefferson was opposed to tho extension of the pet institution of the South, as every act of his life abundantly proves. Buchanan & Co. contend that it be ing a holy and God ordained institution, its extension is a blessing both to the black race and the white race I Jefferson proclaimed slavery to be sectional and that it could not exist by- virtue of positive law, which doctrine has been acquiesced in by all the democratic IcauctQ until wniim ittu mat tcvr yvarS, IDG democracy of 1856, with Buchanan as its leader, hold that slavery is national—that everywhere our flag floats, slavery has a le gal and undisputed existence—that it has a right everywhere except when interdicted by positive legal law!!

A gentleman who was acquainted with Fuuon, recently told us the following anec dote, which was related by Fulton himself; When Fulton was in England, he bad a 'scheme for applying etesm machinery to the purpose of nsVal warfare; and 1 obtained an teuligßcirwhhljymi Pitt, then Prime Minister, to an( j l 0 an „ oj science, whomhe migkt'cnebsqptr Sbtm aiter his arrival, Pitt; entered the room, arid received Fultori pdlitte Ig; They seated themselves at the table; qhd Fultob was ihvit'Cd to explain his plafas. When he had got into the applicatTon of stealh as a propelling agent, Pitt whispered with his friend for a moment. They both immediate ly rose and walked away without a word to the visionary inventor. The servant soon made his appearance, waiting for something ; perhaps for Fulton’s commands, perhaps for him to go. He went; and it is well known he went to Prance, and offered bis invention to the gov ernment of that country. He proposed a plan of transporting the French army across the channel by steam vessels. Bonaparte, who was at that lime Consul, referred the propo sition to engineers, who reported against it. are ifie very atu our democratic friends u though few there be,) swell up terrii they talk about the glorious old democratic parfy —that its principles are unchangeable, and that they will exist forever the same. Every intelligent democrat knows full well of the change, and I have found a few that were honest enough to admit it, but they say if we would preserve the Union we must stick to the party and go the ticket blind, and not make any inquiry as to its cherished principles. Such.is the democratic party of to .day. Its only ambition is power. Its only desire is to get and-(o keep the rich offi ces of the federal government in its possession, and it knows nothing else, but to do the bid ding of the Black Power. When we think of the many changes that have come over the democratic party-; how its leaders have given the lie to all of their antecedents ; how it has been transformed from an institution of free dom to one of slavery we are led to exclaim, Years after it was recalled to the recollec tion of Bonaparte. When he was on board the Northumberland, on his way to St. Helena he saw a smoky vessel, going at a good speed for the time, when there was very little wind. He asked the cause of her speed, and was told that she was propelled by'steam. He said nothing further; but we may imagine that be fait like a railway director, when the stock of his concern has just been sold for 'one mill per share, and- he see 4 an invention in use, which he had long before turned his back upon, andwhioh might have sdved him. —The Inventor .: J6ob ror "ifi rttay fault*.

In fact Gov. Wise says that he goes full as Tar on the slavery ques (ion as did John C. Calhoun, while at the north he is represented to bo “as good a free soiler as anybody.” Such is the game that they are playing and it is to be hoped that the honest intelligent voters of Tioga Co. will see through the thin vail that covers up their mountain of political chicanery. They qre most decidedly playing a double game They are trying to catch northern and south ern votes upon the same platform, but with entirely different kinds of bait. In conclusion I would say to the freemen of Tioga Co., read both aides of (he quesiion and (hen decide for yourselves.

Evert one of oar readers, wetrust, scan ned closely (In teller of Col. Fremont, accept ing, the nomination for .the Presidency. No one that did so dispassionately,, could bare helped admiring ita.atyle and lone and spirit. It was modest and'yet dignified, liberal and : yet earnest, comprehensive and yet explicit. There is no snob surrender of personality as that manifested by Mr. Buchanan in merging himself mechanically into the platform pre pared for biro. He does not say one word about “equating his actions” by this and that “plank,” nor does.he utter a syllable that implies a subjection on his part to party authority. He binds himself to nopaity con ditions, he binds himself to no party pledges. He accepts his position' “ in- the van of n great movement” as a lover of his country and not aa a leader of a.party, and his language is —“ln the case of my election to the Presi dency, I should enter upon the execution of its duties with a single-hearted determination to promote the good of the whole country, and to direct solely to this end all the power of the Government, irrespective of party ISSUES AND REGARDLESS OP SECTIONAL strifes.” There is here a manly self-asser tion, a manifested devotednesa to personal convictions, that is in most refreshing con trast with the facile sell-negation of his Dem ocratic dpmpetitor. Colonel Fremont does not offer) himself as a party back, it is not in him lb serve such. His nature is cast in two large a mould to admit of that. The f “"iDualities of will which his whole history has displayea—me nign courage, me quiet decision, the steadfast adherrence to purpose, the ehtire, devotion of every energy to his object, all ■ forbid his letting himself oat for any mere parly service. He could not.effect unity lend himself to any narrow system of vicious politics, even could he attempt it. Ha is one of that class of men who, to work at ■all, must work with moral faith and intellec tual conviction.—JV, Y. Courier. How to Bathe on a Sukmbk’s Day.— Many erroneous- notions prevail respecting ' he warm balb.— if submersion in day, would be tionally consid- the warm baih may be .taken with equal, perhaps greater benefit, in the summer than in the winter.— During hot weather, the secretions in the skin are much increased in quantity, and consequently a greater necessity exists that it should be kept perfectly free from obstruc tions. Another prevailing error respecting the warm bath is, that.it lends to relax and enervate the body; for experience has suffi ciently proved the fallacy of the opinion, and many physicians have prescribed its nSe to patients laboring under debility from disease, none of whom expeiience such effects, but have all felt invigorated, and mostly restored to health and strength. Many persons are deterred front using the warm baih, especi ally in winter, from the fearof catohingcold ; but this fear is groundless, for it has been found that the warm bath, by increasing the circulation on the surface of the body, ren ders it more capable of withstanding (be effects of cold than it otherwise would have been. ■ Mr. Buchanan and the Galphin Claim. —The readers of Democratic papers will re member the great outcry they made about the recognition of the Galphin claim by our Government, under which recognition Gen. Taylor’s administration was compelled to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars ; but it is probable they do not remember that rec ognition was made under James Buchanan, while Secretary ofStale under President Polk. Whatever responsibility and whatever odium or criminality, therefore, attaches to this Galphin claim, by which hundreds of thou sands of dollars passed from the United Stales Treasury, is due to James Buchanan, (he man that recognized (he claim, and thereby made the government responsible for its pay ment. Shakspeabe’s Skeleton.—ln Memphis, Teltn., the other' day, a countryman stood gazing in at Mansfield’s windows, where two skeletons hung suspended—one being that of a man, the other a boy. A stranger coming up— “Whose skeleton is that 1” asked the coun tryman, pointing to the larger. “That is Shakspeare’s” said the stranger. “AndwhoieMs that i” continued the coun tryman, pointing to the smaller. “That' is Shakspeare’s Hob,” answered (ha wag. “HoW can it be I" “Why; that’s' him when he was a boy," was the rejoinder. “Ob, 1 never thought of that.”
