Popular Journal of its class—its Contents being of the first

unique and attractive. Though published less than ten 
years, it is the acknowledged

Family Journal ever published, and we invite a compari¬ 
son with any others extant.

reeling attention to the same, will receive the lltb Vnb n o

Arrival of the Overland Mail. — The Over¬ 
land Mail reached Jefi'erson City on the 20th ult. 
Business at San Francisco showed more activity, 
but the demand was mainly of a speculative 
character, and principally in candles and pro¬ 
visions. 
A report from Oregon states that Capt. Wallen’s 
command, consisting of 110 men of the 4th infan¬ 
try, had been massacred by the Snake Indians, at 
Warm’s Springs, east of the Cascade Mountains. 
The report was credited at Fort Dallas. 
Dates from San Juan Island are to the 20th ult. 
Afikirs there were unchanged. The American 
troops were still in possession of the island, and 
their number had been increased to 400 men. 
From Mexico—Southern Pacific Railroad.— 
Monterey advices state that Gen. Senera was there 
confering with Vidaurri. Dlese, with 750 men 
and four guns, holds Guanajuatee, and had ban¬ 
ished several liberals. Miramon was arming 4,- 
uOO men for Northern Mexico. Late advices from 
Marshal, Texas, state that President Faulkes, of 
the Southern Pacific Railroad, had made a final 
settlement with a new company, and the creditors 
bad obtained full possession of the Road, and that 
work was recommenced immediately. 
E Rogers, of North Adams, Mass,, has a shoe 
B wa f, worn eighty, five years ago by a woman at 
Kr 6r , lD S. at Northampton; the heel is made of 
H vood, three inches high, running to a triangular 
M one -Batf inch broad, and tipped with 
From the Pacific Side. 
The steamship Habana, of the Tehuantepec line, 
arrived at New Orleans on the 21st ult. Honolulu 
dates are to July 30th. The American bark Lan¬ 
caster, of Philadelphia, en route from San Fran¬ 
cisco to Australia, valued at $32,000, foundered off 
Loki, July 10th. No lives were lost. The vessel 
and cargo are a total loss, but fully insured. 
The news from San Juan is very conflicting. 
Yictoria papers say that five companies of infantry, 
four of artillery, and a battery of eight thirty two- 
pounders, of the U S steamer Massachusetts, were 
at the island. The House of Assembly on the 12 th, 
adopted an Address to Governor Douglas, urgently 
requesting him to enforce upon the English gov¬ 
ernment the necessity of demanding of the gov¬ 
ernment of the United States an immediate with¬ 
drawal of its troops, but strenuously, and at all 
risks, to maintain the rights to the island, and 
also to all the other islands in the same Archipela¬ 
go, now clandestinely and dishonestly invaded. 
A motion was also adopted, urging Got. Douglas 
to form volunteer military companies. Another 
statement is to the effect that five thousand Ameri¬ 
can troops were on the island. Erections had 
been thrown up, and the harbor of Yictoria was 
commanded by the field pieces. The island was 
in a complete state of defense. Gen. Harney says 
he will call for volunteers from the territory, if he 
is attacked. Gen. Harney had written a letter to 
Gov. Douglas, to the effect that he had occupied 
he island to protect the Americans from insults 
of British authorities of Vancouver’s Island and 
the Hudson Bay Co. officers. 
The British Admiral refuses to obey the orders 
of Gov. Douglas to bring on a collision, and also 
refuses to briDg the North Pacific fleet near the 
island. He says he will wait for orders from the 
home government, and disclaims all hostileinten- 
tions. The American and British officers were on 
friendly terms. 
From Denver City. — The Denver City Ex¬ 
press of the 15th reached Leavenworth, bringing 
$32,000 in gold dust, the largest amount yet re¬ 
ceived in a single shipment. Returns from eleven 
mining districts give a majority of 1,600 against a 
State Constitution. A vigilance committee had 
been organized in consequence of the depredations 
upon property by thieves. 
Large Immigration Expected.— The Liverpool 
Times says it has the best authority for stating 
mat the prospects of emigration to the United 
States are “most promising, and that an active 
movement for some months is anticipated. The 
latest emigration statistics 6how that while there 
is a falling off in the Irish emigration, the number 
ot English and Scotch emigrants is largely in¬ 
creased.” 
Markets, Commerce, Sic. 
Rural New-Yorker Office,) 
Rochester. Sept. 27, 1859. ( 
Flour—A temporary lull in trade and no change in prices. 
Grain—A lmost all kinds of grsin are moving upward in 
rates. Wheat is fully 2 ceDts better than last week—Corn 2 
@5 cents and Oats 1 ceDt. By reference to our New York 
city and Albany reports it will be 6een that Bye and Barley 
are in demand at the East, and the prices there obtainable 
are very much greater than in this vicinity. These are the 
only grains which have not advanced in our market, distil¬ 
lers and brewers either holding aloof altogether, or purchas¬ 
ing at the figures we give. They will not pay any higher 
than we have indicated, at present; what will be their 
course hereafter, time will show. This is their purchasing 
season, and the idea prevalent with those in the market 
seems to be a declining rather than an advancing tendency. 
Other changes are slight and will be observed by reference 
to quotations.

The Wool Markets. 
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—There has been some activity in 
the wool market during the past week, and prices continue 
firm but at. the close the demand was less animated A 
large lot of superior California wool has claimed the atten¬ 
tion of brokers aod manufacturers, and considerable sales 
have been effteted at an advance in prices. Manufacturers 
who have tested these wools find them desirable, as the 
shrinkage is less than in most other kinds of unwashed 
wools, and they are therefore rapidly coining into good re¬ 
pute w e understand that much attention has, during the 
last season, been devoted to the improvement of the breed 
«f sheep, by the importation of due bucks 'rom Australia 
and we shall not be surprised if, before many years, t’is 
staple should form one ef its most important exports In¬ 
deed. judging from the lot above alluded to, amounting to 
half a million pounds, it has already become so. We would 
suggest to influential agriculturists, and others interested 
Li ! he Permanent prosperity y0U ng and thriving 
Plate, lUit they ean in no promote the same 
than by the encouragement of ; |»>p husbandry. 
The deli^nd duringjthe past 1 ®,night, as we anticipated

have advanced 9)4c lb. The *;uiry has been principally 
for the medium grade® the bentr qua'i'ies are sparingly 
dealt in here, owing to the small stock offering and the ex¬ 
treme prices prevalent. We understand that the stock of

the season. The sales include 150,000 tbs. State and West¬

on hand and for s-de at T1IIR TY PER CENT. LESS THAN 
PERUVIAN GUAND, and which we elaim to be superior to 
any Guano or fertilizer ever imported or manufactured in 
this country. This Guano is imported by WM. H WEBB 
of New York, from Jarvis A Bakers’ Island, in the “South 
Pacific Ocean,” and is sold genuine and pure as imported. 
It has been satisfactorily tested by many of our prominent 
Farmers, and analyzed by the most eminent and popular 
Agricultural Chemists and found to contain (as will be seen 
by our circulars) a large per centage of Bone Phosphate of 
Lime and Phosphoric Acid, and other animal organic 
matter, yie'ding ammonia suffi-.ient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially enriching the soil. It 
can be freely used without danger of burning the seed or 
plant H y coming in contact with it, as is the case with some 
other fertilizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it 
causes the plant to grow in a healthy condition, and as 
experience has proved, free of insects. For orders in any
