tj particularize them all, else would 1
record how ha was fined a thousand dol
kirs by his old friend, Gan-chat-sze for
tAmboomg a valiant sentinel who refused
to iel him enter, the gates of Canton
without n bribe; how his river-horse, be
ag tired of confinement, took an oppor
tunity to jump overboard, whereby he
upset a boat and come nigh drowning the
passengers. This cost him three thousand
dollars more. Hi? next adventure was
picking up the body of a drowned man in
the river one evening', m passing between
his sloop and the shore, vhose murder he
was found guilty of before Canchat-sze,
who kindly let him off for ten thousand
dollars; advising him at the sani3 time
through the hong merchant, Fat-qua, to
take the earliest opportunity of making
himself invisible within the precincts of
the Celestial Empire.
"I partly gutss I'll take his advice,
and pull up stakes," said Jonathan. "I
never saw such a tarnal place. It beats
everything, I swow. Why, squire Fat
qua, I'll tell you what if you'll only
come to our parts, you may gojist where
you please dojistas you please anJ
talk to the gals as much as you please
I'll be choked if it isn't true, by the liv
ing hokey."
Hi yah! Missec Joe Netting," replied
Fasqua, "she mus: be some very fine
place, dat Merrykey."
"There you are right, squire. Bat,
goodbj-; I finally conclude it's best to
cut stick. 'I hey're plaguy slppery fel
lows here; if they aim, may I be licked
by a chap under size. '
Jonathan received the remainder of his
mony, which he was then earnestly ad
vised to invest in bills, and at the same
time to sell his vessel, and embark for
home in a safer conveyance.
D'ye think I'm a fellow of no more
gumption than that?" said he. "I'll be
darned if there's a tighter safer thing
than my old sloop ever sailed across the
salt sea; and as fur your paper money,
I've had enough of that in my own coun
try in my time."
He declined shipping a crew, for he
said he must trust, in that case, to stran
gers; and he thought to himself that he
could easdy induce his two cousins to go
home with him now he was rich It hap
pened as he had anticipated; both gladly
Tfjoined him again, each having failed
in his speculation. The Dutchmen at the
Cape forbade the one using a machine he
had invented for saving labour, lest it
might lower the price of their negroes;
and the Portuguese and Chinese refused
to eat the fish of the other, because he
neither crossed himself before the pic-
ture oi tne virgin, nor ournt gilt paper

TIIE ELECTION'.
We publish the official returns of the
election in Cambria in to-day's paper, to
which wc call the attention of our readers.
It exhibits a deplorable state of affairs 60
far as the democracy of this county is
concerned. With a majority of some five
hundred, we have lost everything with
the exception of County Surveyor and
County Auditor. This result was brought
about by men who once who stood high
in the party, and who should have been
found fighting for the success of the ticKet
instead of endeavoring to defeat it in order
to gratify their personal pique and disap
pointed ambition. They determined to
defeat every man on the ticket who did
not coincide with them in their views
and the returns show with what success.
It was a concerted movement on the part
of a large portion of the disorganizers to
defeat every man, who was known to be
favorable to the election of John Snod
grass. Tickets were printed at the Echo
office, headed by M'Donald, bearing the
names of Cessna and Linton, and distrib
uted through every portion of the county
by M'Donald and others, and his personal
friends warmly solicited to vote it. The
Echo and its clique may well rejoice at
the success of this damnable scheme, and
they are welcome to the glory and the
shame of their triumph. This accounts
for the defeat of our candidate in this
county.
Mr. Snodgrass, although defeated, has
been sustained by the democracy of the
district, and has a right to feel gratified at
the vote he received. He received more
votes than both the volunteer candidates
together, as the following official table
will demonstrate.

A glance at the above ought to be suffi
cient, we think, to put to rest forever, the
question as to ;vho were the volunteers
and disorganizers, anil who the regularly
nominated democratic candidate. It will
be seen that the vote of Snodgrass is one
thousand Jive hundred and forty-fuC
more than that of M'Donald and M 'Kin
ney together. That he received two
thousand nine hundred and thirty-six
more than M'Kiuney, and three thousand
two hundred and ninety-seven more than
M'Donald.
The contest being over wo have no dis
position to reflect uron the conduct of
these whose cou rse has brought so much
disgrace upon the party. Their conduct
on this occasion will bring its own pun
ishment, but we think it right to let our
readers see the true strte of the case.

, A THRILLING INCIDENT.
Lake Ontario Crossed in an Open Boat
During a Storm.
On Wednesday last, as one of the hea
viest gales of the season was sweeping
over the broad bosom of Lake Ontario,
the little schooner Prosperity was riding
safely at anchor under the Canadian
shore, at the mouih of Duffin's creek,
about twenty five miles cast of Toronto.
The Prosperity was manned by Captain
Harrington, the owner, his boy, and one
man; although a small crew in number,
the' were equal to their task, as the se
quel will show. Some ship stores being
wanted, the captain and crew went on
shoie in their only small boat, (a flat bot
tomed scow about 15 feet long and 4 feet
wide, commonly called a punt.) to pro
cure them. By the time they were ready
to return to the schooner, the wind had
greatly increased in violence, but did not
deter them from attempting the passage.
They put off from the shore in their
frail craft, which soon became unmanage
able to a great extent, and they were car
ried past the vessel into the Lake, despite
of all their efforts. The people on the
shore who saw them were unable to ren
der any assistance, and of course gave
them up for lost. Not so with Captain
Harrington; he resolved to make the most
he could of his craft, and test his powers
as a navigator. Many brave men would
have despaired at such a time, arid with
such prospects; a wide waste of waters
before, lashed into fury by the violent
"Nor'wester'' from behind, and only a
miserable wooden trough without sail,
and poorly supplied with oars, between
him and the tumbling waves that threat
ened momentarily to engulph them.
Captain II. saw that his only chance
of safety was in running directly before
the wind and waves. He ordered his
man and boy to lie down in the bottom
of the boat, and trim it as well as possible,
while he took an oar and steered the little
bark before the gale. She dashed on amid
the white caps, laboring hard to withstand
the fury of the waves, which she nobly
braved for eleven hours long hours to
the captain, who sat at the steering oar,
and his companions who were lying in
the bottom of the boat expecting every
moment to be engulphed by each wave,
which rolled successfully by. After eleven
hours of anxiety and imminent danger
thus passed, the captain discovered the
American shore, and effected a landing in
safety, with great hazard.
Capt. Harrington, on taking a brief
reckoning found himself sixteen miles east
of Niagara river, having drifted across the
the Lake a little west of the widest part.
He had probably sailed fifty miles in his
frail craft, amid a heavy storm a feat,
we think, unparalleled in the history of
Lake navigation. It was thought to be an
act worth telling of a hero, that "Bill
Johnson of the Thousand Isles" crossed
the Lake in a good yawl at the risk of a
storm, but to cross in a -punt while a storm
was raging, as did Capt. II. and his crew,
makes Johnson's feat dwindle into insig
nificance. Capt. Harrington was not so overcome
by the fatigue of his voyage, but that he
immediately started for Niagara, and there
took the steamer for Toronto, and on
Thursday appeared at Duffin's, to the
great astonishment of the good people
there, who had given him up for lost.

Grand Scheme of Disunion Men
A
high in office supposed to be privy to
the Move rn c nt s Progress of the
Movement Fighting under Masks
Georgia true to the Union.
The opinion is fast gaining ground in
Georgia, that a deep laid scheme has been
set on foot for the destruction of the Fed
eral Union, and that this State is to be
iused as one of the means for its consum
mation. It is believed that the Executives
of this State, South Carolina, and Missis
sippi, have been privy to this movement,
as well as several leading men in the
South. The harmonious actions of the
Legislatures of these States the past win
ter, upon the territorial and slavery ques
tions, and the reciprocal interciiange of
the resolutions adopted by them respect
ively, furnish presumptive proof of this
fact. Resolutions were introduced into
both branches of our Legislature, in the
early part of the session, specifying four
contingencies for the call of the conven
tion, upon which the whole Southern
people could have united. Upon the re
assembling of the Legislature, however,
after a recess of three weeks, nothing
would satisfy the ultraist?, unless the ad
mission of California were made another
ground for the convention. It had been
seen that she would probably come into
the Union soon, and it was thought her
admission would furnish a certain contin
gency for calling the people together and
carrying out their object.
Not more than one fourth of the voters
of this State, if that many, are prepared
at this lime for extreme measures. Even
this number is growing small by degrees,
and beautifully less. Many of the seces
sion papers, also are changing their tone
Macon Telegraph, and the Federal
Union, the metropolitan organ. Though
in favor of secession at one time, they
now contend that some other remedy (?)
short of separation may be found within
the constitution. What that remedy is,
they have not yet vouchsafed to inform
the public. It is simply a change of tac
tics, however, and not of purpose. Their
object is to quiet the suspicions of the
people, and carry a majority into .the con
vention, when they will throw off the
mask, rnd avow their ohject. Th course
of Gov. Quitman and the forthcoming
proclamation of Gov. Seabrook, of South
Carolina, will give a fresh impulse to the
movement in Georgia, as well as encour
agement to the disunionists.
A disunion meeting was held a few days
since at Kingston, a: which ex-Senator
Colquett declared himself in favor of a
withdrawal from the Union. There are
but few slaves in the upper tier of coun
ties, where this meeting was held, yet
there are many violent secessionists in
this section. This is owing to the presence
of a large number of Carolina emigrants,
who to a considerable extent, settled th"St
country during the Nullification troubles
in 1833. Their own State being too hot
for them at that day, they came to Geor
gia; for, though thev are disunionists now,
thev were union men then. Great efforts
will be made to return disunion delegates
from these counties which constitute the
districts at present represented in Congress
by Messrs. Cobb and Hackett. Much,
therefore, will depend upon these gentle
men and their friends.

Government to interfere in behalf of mv
son.
From Washington I went to Havana.
There I had an interview with the Gov
ernor of the Island. He also prostrated
my heart and life, by informing me that
it was impossible for him to do anything
for the prisoners, as they had sailed on
the 10th; he remarked that he thought
thej' would be given up by the Spanish
Government if demanded by ours.
At Havanna I learned that the men
were convicted on the testimony of a trai
tor, who swore to everything the Span
iards desired him to say.
The people in Havana say that if the
press was to take the matter in hand.their
release would soon be acccomplished.
Dear sirs, will you aid with your efforts

He saw wild oats and wild mustard cov

reach, and of the most luxuriant character.
Large tracts had been cultivated in corn,
land affording every appearance of a heavy
crop, m the dry and hot season. A ditch
had been thrown up as a fence, around
this cornfield; and the earth thrown up
and forming the embankment, afforded a
luxuriant growth of lettuce, onions, Lc.

A Telegraph around the Globe is anc
the probabilities. So thinks a writer ia
the English Mechanics Magazine, in view
of the success of the attempt to thread the
channel between Dover and Calais, bv a
submerged rope of wire. He says:
"An electric telegraph to Calais', is not a
thing which will stop there. It is a tele
graph to Vienna, to Moscow, to Con!tan'
tinople, to Isbahan, to Delhi, to Calcutta
to the remotest bounds, in Europe and
Asia. A few years ago people laughed
when Lord Palmerston predicted a. the
Southampton meeting of the British As
sociation, that a time might come nhe.n
the minister of the day being asked in
Parliament, whether it was true tbt a
war had broken out in India? would re
ply: Wait an instant till I telegraph ths
Governor-General, and I 'will tell you.'
What was thought but a good jokt h
1843, is now in 1850, in the course of
being actually accomplished, zvA ere a
few years more, is likely to take its place
amongst the sober realities of the a-e.
Nor to the Old World alone need oar
views cf the ultirnnte progress of eleclra
telegrapii be confined; for since the Eng
lish channel has been crossed, the crossing
of the Irish must follow next, as tut a
matter of course; and Ireland once reached
there fios but n couple of thousand mt:??
of water or so between the Old World s.t
the New.
"The Olu ai.d New World being lhv.s
united, we should see the dream of :!:?

girdled round about' not in fortv min
utes' but in a thousandth part of the

would all other triumphs of human fen'ts
be to this T Time and distance utterly
annihilated throughout the bounds of th
planet which we inhabit! A triumph
only lo be transcended when the planeu
shall themselves begin ta telegraph one

things which, in this age of art miracles,
one would venture without hesitation to
say will never happen."
