Montgomcry, in Tike township, thrs county,
he found a small tin-box and a wooden W,
In a dense thicket, 4 miles from any habitation.
Oa Monday Mr. Asker and others proceeded
to tho place, where they found all the bones of
a man, except the skull. In a Testament found
in me iox,were written a couple names.which
were made out to be, K. V. Rightbone, and Ii.
B. Charles, England besides these, on a pair
of spectacles, was engraved Robt. Wright.
The bones arc supposed to be the remains of a
travelling tinker, an Englishman, who had a
wooden leg, and was going through the coun
try, about five months ago, and it is supposed
that he either lost his way, and becoming en
tangled in the thicket where the bones were
found, was unable to extricate himself and
perished from fatigue and starvation, or that
be was destroyed by some wild animal.

"Salt River." Some of our Republican
friends object to going "up Salt River" on any
craft, with General Cass as pilot. Although
he is well acquainted with all "obstructions to

any "noise and confusion" upon the old gen

once visited a lady of rank, who, in a pet, said
to bim, "I don't care for you three skips of a

as follows :
A lady said to me in her own house,
J dont care for you three skips of a louse ;
I forgive the dear creature forwhat she hassaid,
For ladies speak most of what runs in their head.

Europe. At latest dates the Neapolitan
question remained unchanged. From Spain
there is nothing of interest. From France the
news is more interesting. Signs of trouble
are making their appearance in Taris, and a
number of arrests have been made. Menacing
placards are stuck up daily in different parts
of the city, all assuming a revolutionary co
lor. Whether well founded or not, tho opin
ion is very general that not only does, there
exist a serious difficulty between France and
England, but also that the latter has become
reconciled with Austria, and that the latter is
now on more than friendly terms witVRussia,
and it is even supposed that thus allied, Eng
land with Austria, and France with Russia, o-
pen difficulties will ensue ere long. TheFrench
government journals assert definitely and ex.
plicitly that tho Porte has demanded in due
fwrni that the Austrians shall evacuate the
Principalities, and the British the Black Sea,
but they by a secret mutual understanding re
fused to leave
General Cass, the "original proprietor and
projector" of the doctrine of squatter sover
eignty, or non-intervention, has at last been
beaten and shelved in his own State, Michi
gan. J lie ircsiaentiai canvass oi ioio sci-
tlcd his national hopes, and the victory of the
Republicans now prevents his return to the
Senate. There are many persons who will re
gret this, for General Cass has long been re
garded .with the highest respect and esteem
as one of our leading statesmen. But the
country will really lose nothing by his retire-
mnnr. T1a baq nosscsscd the nower to do
much, but has shrunk timidly from the rcspon
sibility of a leader, following willingly in the
wake of others. In 1850 he followed Foote,
and in 1854 he helped Douglas in the repeal
of the Missouri compromise. Toucey is done
for in Connecticut,"Cass in Michigan, Dicken
son in New York, Pierce in New Hampshire
Douglas in Illinois, and a few years more will
seal the fate of that whole tribe of misguided
northern statesmen
Soutuern Programme for the Buchanan
Administration. The following extract from
a letter addressed to the New Orleans Delta
marks out distinctly what the South expects
of the Buchanan Administration :
'My dear sir, it is idle and child's play to
deny that the masses at the North are opposed
to the institution of Slavery. I have purpose
ly mixed with all kinds and classes of the sov
ereign people, this summer, nt the North, with
this main object in view, and I am more than
convinced of the fact. The under current of
public opinion is most decidedly against us,
and that too among good and honest people,
apparently. I am yet to meet and hear the
first man at the North and there are many at
the South who think with them who docs not
oppose the extension of Slavery. Now, sir, I
consider tho extension of Slavery the heart,
core, vitality and existence of this Union
late. We are to have a National Democratic
Administration for the next four years. We
will have a Democratic majority in both Hou
ses of Congress. Nov, then, is the time to
settle this Union question forever. The Na
tional Democrats of the-North hold themselves
friends of the Constitution friends and advo
cates, therefore, of the just rights of the
South. Let them then
nicy nave tlio power for the next four years-
let thorn exercise it boldly and effectually."
