A neatly got up volume of 250 pages, the 
subject of which is sufficiently indicated by the 
title. Its style is lively and interesting. Dew¬

Putnam’s Monthly for September is unusu¬ 
ally excellent in variety and merit of contents. 
The leading article, entitled “ Our Parties and 
Politics,” is bold and truthful—proclaiming with 
ability and independence the principles of 
Northern freedom, in defiance of the precepls 
of the Pro-Slavery party. The whole paper is 
pungent, and will create a decided sensation.— 
Witness its closing words, thus : 
“ We repeat, that until the sentiment of Sla¬ 
very is driven back to its original bounds, to the 
Stales to which it legitimately belongs, the 
people of the North are vassals. Yet their 
emancipation is practicable if not easy. They 
have only to evince a determination to be free, 
ami they are free. They are to discard all past 
alliances, to put aside all present fears, to dread 
no future coalitions, in the single hope of carry¬ 
ing to speedy victory a banner inscribed with 
these devices:—The Repeal of the Fugitive 
Slave Law,—The Restoration of the Missouri 
Compromise,—No more Slave States,—No more 
Slave Territories,—The Homestead for Free 
Men on the Public Lands - ” 
The National for Sept is a superior issue of 
an always beautiful and entertaining magazine. 
While its contents arc of a moral, entertaining 
and sterling character, it excels in elegance of 
typography and wood-cut illustrations. 
Godey’s Lady’s Book greets us monthly with 
unfailing regularity. The Sept, issue embraces 
the usual variety of ornamental and useful em¬ 
bellishments and reading. Dewey.

Arrival of the Steamship Asia. 
The Asia arrived at, New York August 2-1 th. 
Sir George Brown, in the Fury, entered the 
harbor of Sevastopol in the night, and remained 
till day. The Fury was fired at both with shot 
and shell, but she suffered no damage. 
The Turkish fleet lias sailed for Varna with 
the pontoons, and all the transports. Suliiia is 
burnt. 
The Russian envoy has announced to the 
Cabinet of Vienna that the Emperor Nicholas 
has just ordered the complete evacuation of the 
principalities of Wallachia and of Moldavia. A 
plot to burn the Russian fleet, at Sevastopol was 
discovered on the 16th inst,. A war council is 
t sitting to investigvte the affair. Several captains 
<>{ merchantmen and of the navy have been im¬ 
prisoned. 
Sevastopol is being surrounded by most im¬ 
posing fortifications. The most strenuous ef¬ 
forts are made to overcome the difficulties of 
the ground works. The Russian fleet is in Se¬ 
vastopol waters yet; isolated Russian men-of- 
war are cruising along the coast to observe the 
enemy’s movements. 
Tiie Government of Great Brilain has char¬ 
tered ships to convey arms and stores for de¬ 
fence to Halifax, St. John, N. B„ Quebec, Mon¬ 
treal, Bermuda, Jamaica, Antigua, Barbadoes, 
St. Lucia, and Demerara. 
Cholera is prevalent in Liverpool, and is in¬ 
creasing. 
Weather in England very fine. 
An American-built brig, of 200 tons, timber¬ 
laden, water-logged, stripped, and abandoned, 
and that had apparently been fired into by 32- 
poundshot, was boarded June 14th, in lat,. 33° 
north. Ion. 18° west-, by the Crouch Brothers, 
for Melbourne—supposed to have been over¬ 
hauled by a privateer. 
Madrid, Aug 6.—Espartero and the Ministers 
remained at the Palace during a part of last 
night, in deliberation upon a proposition of the 
Junta relative to Queen Christina. In the course 
of the day, deputations from various sections of 
Madrid presented themselves before the Junta, 
to request that body to prevent Queen Christi¬ 
na from leaving the kingdom until she had been 
tried by the Cortes. The Junta immediately 
communicated this request to the Council of 
Ministers, which, after a long and animated dis¬ 
cussion, determined to accede to the desire of 
the people. 
Italy.— Three guards of the Treasury, and 
two shop-keepers, taken with arms in their 
hands during the revolt of the 22d ult., have 
been shot. 
Tne King of Saxony was killed recently by a 
kick from a horse, after his coach had been over¬ 
turned near Brenubuchel. 
Poland.— A letter from Warsaw of the 1st, in 
the Presse of Vienna, says:— 
“ The approaching arrival of the Czar at War¬ 
saw*, will be marked, it is said, by certain con¬ 
cessions to the Poles, as respects their national¬ 
ity. It is said that the Assembly of Notables 
mentioned in the organic statue of the kingdom 
of Poland of 1832, is to be convoked. The es¬ 
tablishments of public instruction are, it is said, 
to be re-opened, and the use of the Polish lan¬ 
guage in official acts, the publication of the an¬ 
nual expenses and receipts, and t he right to con¬ 
sent, to direct taxes, ordered. The Polish army 
is also, the report goes, to be re-established, but 
under the command of Russian officers. The 
fourth recruiting is finished; never had the pop¬ 
ulation been placed under contribution to such 
an extent.” 
India and China. —The India tnail has arriv¬ 
ed. The Russians have taken possession of Ka¬ 
lian, near Bokhara. Business in India is dull. 
There is great disturbance in the north of Chi¬ 
na. Sliiklung is in t.he hands of the insurrec¬ 
tionists, who threaten Canton with an attack.—

Arrival of the Geo. Law & Prometheus. 
The U. S. mail steamship George Law,Lieut. 
Fox commanding, and the steamship Prome¬ 
theus, Capt. Turner, arrived at New York Aug. 
24th, from Aspinwall and Nicaragua, bringing 
dates from California to August 1, two weeks 
later than previous advices. 
The George Law left Aspinwall at 12 o’clock 
on the night qt the 15th inst., making the run 
in 8 days and hours. She brings the mails 
and 2fc« passengeis. 
The total receipts of gold by these arrivals is

passengers arrived, 542. 
Lett, at Aspinwall, steamer North Star, await¬ 
ing the arrival of the passengers leaving San

$800,UUU in specie on freight. 
Political Intelligence.— The Whig State 
Convention assembled atbacramento July 25t,h, 
and continued for two days. They published 
an address and resolutions of very little im¬ 
portance and meaning. 
The fends in the Democratic party continued 
with unabated violence. 
Mining Intelligence.— Owing to the scarcity 
of water in many localities, mining is not ear¬ 
ned on so actively as in the early part ot the 
summer ; but where water is to be had, at Ne¬ 
gro Hill, the Reservoir and the various tunnels 
in the vicinity, supplied by the South Foik Ca¬ 
nal, and on the creeks ami bars, tiie miners aie 
making their usual good wages. Next month 
the South Fork Canal will be completed and 
will afford an abundance of water. On Smith 
river and Myrtle creek the mineis are making 
troin $10 in $25 per day. Laborers are receiv¬ 
ing from $IUU to $150 per month. 
At Sailor diggings and Althouse creek the 
miners were never doing better. New discov¬ 
eries on Indian cieek are proving rich. The 
prospect is from $1 to $3 per pun. Some of the 
companies ere making from $50 to $lU0per day. 
Tiie Jacksonville diggings are exce, dingly 
rich. Some of tiie miners are making as high 
as $300 per day. Labor cannot be obtained at 
any price. On ihe Salmon anti Klamath tie 
reports are equally favorable with the above. 
The Crops.— The crops along the Columbia 
river are very promising. There has been an 
unusual quantity of wheat sown this year on 
ihe bottoms, and the June rise of the water has 
not injured it. The corn is not quite so good as 
the last year, owing to the Cold. Cals and bar¬ 
ley are first rale. Potatoes and onions promise 
more than an average yieid. 
During the Jasi ihree or four weeks, the 
grasshoppers have been committing great rava¬ 
ges in toe gardens on the Mariposa, Merced, 
Tiolumne, and S,anisiaus rivers. In some [da¬ 
ces the whole crop oi corn, onions, melons, vUe., 
has been entirely destroyed—m others, the corn 
has been cut to save it lor fodder. These pests 
have appeared in immense swarms ibis sum¬ 
mer, and have done a great amount of damage 
lu4‘t loers in dilieienl pails ul ihe Ban Joaquin 
VJ-iey. 
JI'he Isthmus News.— The parties engaged on 
“ the road,” in searching for robbers and suspi¬ 
cious persona in the vicinity,have arrested near 
twenty. Against some ot these they have proof 
ot eye-witnesses ; against ethers strong circum¬ 
stantial evidence has been long and coiitinuativ 
accumulating; while there aie those whose 
manner of life and ihe character of whose aso¬ 
cial ions place them under strong suspicion ot 
connection and implication with ihe murderous 
villains who have l ides ted the load lor a long 
time past, 
Oregon and Washington Territory.— Valua¬ 
ble gold mines are reported to have been re¬ 
cently discovered on me Cathlepoodie river, 
some thirty or forty miles above its lintuiu.— 
Large quantities of gold, silver and rich iron 
oie have been found on this river. It is also 
reported that tliere are rich mines in tiie vicin¬ 
ity ot Mt. St. Helens. Also that rich gold dig¬ 
gings have been discovered at Skoal water Lav. 
it is saul that the citizens of Asluria have gem- 
erally gone over to - see what they will see.” 
Several tires have occurred at Foit Vancou¬ 
ver, supposed to be tne work of incendiaries.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Tiie California Steamers brought in a couple of millions 
of do’lvrs during the past, week, and the news they fur¬ 
nish from the mines on tiie Pacific coast is of the most 
cheering character; but trade is exceed'ngly dull, and 
shipments thither from the Atlantic States a ruinous busi¬ 
ness. California will soon be an exporting State fir other 
products than gold, and it is stated that she has a surplus 
of breadstuff's of her own raising even now, and is prepar¬ 
ing to ship it to Australia. For manufactures. Ac , how¬ 
ever. she most still be deperd mt. upon tiie older Staff's, and 
her demand for them must increase i parly. I* is insane 
speculation, and not legitimate trade, that has rendered 
shipping to the Pacifc lately such a losing venture. 
The shipments of specie abroad, the past week, were $1,- 
374 743 9 t. making for the \ en*. thus far, $23 656.633 94. 
Railroad securities a-e still in bad odor, and nvm shuffle 
them off as they do a mortal coil. The bears have it their 
own way most of the time, and make a foot, hall of the 
stocks of some of our gigantic corporations. Erie seems to 
have been the principal one in this line, and is now selling 
down 1o 36. and has been lower. 
There are a number of banks, both State and Western 
which are suspected to be rotten and need looking into. 
A list of those against which suspicions are afloat, will be 
fmnd in another column. Let our readers look out for 
their bills.

THE OPTICAL ART 
Has really reached the highest degree of perfection, as 
it is daily proved by the instruments of the celebrated Op ic- 
Oculist Instirution at Leipsic. its superior Spectacles are 
of such pure and select crystal glass, and so scientifically 
ground, as not only to assist the sight, but principally to 
‘•improve and restore the failing vision.” 
Common glasses are magnify ing the objects, and soon 
they begin to irritate and weaken the noble organ, whilst 
these Lenses, ground on the sanctioned priciples of the 
above named institution, ease, strengthen and preserve it 
to the most advanced period of life, no matter if used by 
day or candle light, or by young or old persons. 
The exclusive right of sale of these Leipsic Spectacles has 
been vested to Dr. SHLCETZEK, where the riche t -election 
for any degree of impaired sight will be found, and the 
proper Lease for the present and future be selected by the 
doctor. 
Their elegant frames have been already partially imitated, 
therefore, it should be remembered that none of them are 
commissioned, nor sold for peddling, but that the genuine 
conservative Leipsic Glasses cannot be had except at the 
popular medical ottice of Dr. SULfETZER, No. 10 Atwater

THE HORSE, THE HORSE! 
Noblest of Domestic Animals, 
And the one most frequently ill-treated, neglected, and 
abused. We have just published a book so valuable to 
every man who owns a Horse, that no one should willing¬ 
ly be without it. It is entitled 
THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR, 
And is from the pen of that celebrated English Veterinary 
Surgeon, Dr. GEO. H. DADD, well known for many yen-g 
in this country, as one of the most successful, scientific 
and popu.ar writeis aud lecturers in this branch of medi¬ 
cal aud surgical science. The book which he now offers to 
the public, is the result of many years’ study and practiced 
experience which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations, of dis¬ 
tinguished men and the newspaper press, we select the 
following: 
Extract from a letter from lion. John II. Clifford, Ex - 
Governor of Mass. 
New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 
Dr Dadd ,—Dear Sir :—I hope your new work on the 
noblest cieature that man has ever been permitted to hold 
in subjection, live horse, will meet with that success which 
all your effoits in this direction so well des-rve. 
Your obedient servant, 
John H. Clifford. 
From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder. 
Boston, May 13,1854. 
Dr. Dadd ,—My Dear Sir :—I am greatly obliged to you 
for the valuable treatise, the results of your own investi¬ 
gations, which you have recently issued, hoping that it 
may meet with the patronage of a discriminating commu¬ 
nity. 
I remain yours with great regard, 
_Marshall P. Wilder. 
The Modern Horse Doctor, by G. H. Dadd, is a manual 
of genuine s; i-nce, and ought to be owned and studied on 
the score of humanity, as well as interest, by every man 
who owns a horse .—Boston CongregationalUt. 
Dr. Dadd his had great experience in the cure of sick 
horses and explains the secret of his success in this vol. 
— /V. Y. Tribune. 
The author of this work is well known as a most skillful 
veterinary surgeon. His book is based on the soundest 
common sense, and as a hand-book for practical use we 
know of nothing to compare with it .—Yankee Blade. ’ 
We know Dr. Dadd well, and are sitisfied that he pos¬ 
sesses most important qualifications for preparire such a 
book as this —N E. Farmer. 
•Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a very valua¬ 
ble work by Dr. Dadd, a well known veterinary surgeon 
on the causes, nature and treatment of diseases, and lame¬ 
ness in horses .—Farmer s Cabinet, 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject 
ever publi.-hed; and no owner of that noblest of the ani¬ 
mal race, the horse, should be without it Especially 
should it he in the hands of every hotel and livery-stable 
keeper. To many a man would it be worth hundreds of 
dollars every year.— Ind. Democrat, Concord. 
By far the most learned and copious work on the horse 
aud his diseases we have ever seen.— If. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of 
this work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehen¬ 
sion of those farmers and others for whom it is designed 
The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 
and rational system of medication than that recommended 
m any previously existing works on farriery. No farmer 
or owner of a horse should be without this book. Stable 
keepers, stage proprietors at d hackmen, we believe would 
derite profit by- hating at least one copy hung up in their 
stables for use and reference by their stable men .—Dailu 
Ncus, Philadelphia. V 
There is more common sense in this book than any of 
the kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of 
hoises would find it a matter of economy to possess them¬ 
selves of it. It will be of more service than the counsel of 
a score of ordinary doctors .—Albany Courier. 
We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work 
on the “ Cause, Nature, and Treatment of Disease and 
Lameness in Horses,” ever published .-Nantucket Enquirer. 
What we have read of this book induces us to regard it 
as a very sensible and valuable wotk; and we lcaui that 
those much more competent to judge of its value, have 
given it their unqualified approval.— Ev. Trav. Boston. 
This book supplies a great desideratum which Skinner’s 
admirable treatise on the Horse did not till. Every man 
may be his own veterinary surgeon, aud with much’great- 
er safety to this noble animal than by trusting him to the 
treatment of the empirical inliuerants who infest the 
country. It Is well illustrated, and should be purchased 
by every man who owns a horse.— Ev. Mirror, New York. 
This is a book that should bo forthwith put into the 
hands of all who own or drive horses, whether for the 
dray Or gig, for the plow, omnibus or road, for hard service 
or pleasure — McMakin's Courier, Philadelphia. 
A good clearly written book, which snould be in the 
hands of every man who has a horse whose ills his affec¬ 
tion or ids purse make it worth while to cure.— lianoar 
Mercury. ° 
This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon 
the diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is =ub- 
j*-ct. and the remedies which they severally require —Trov 
Daily Budget. 3 
It is a valuable book io those who have the care of Hor¬ 
ses .—Hartford Herald. 
He is not worthy to have a horse in his care, who will 
not use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to 
this animal .—Commonwealth Boston.
