Marcy, Captain United States Army. Harper & Brothers. ‘n this small volume we find concentrated the results of &@ quarter of a century’s experience in frontier Mife, It is at once the most practical and the most entertaining hand- ook of travel that we have met with. Its facta, gleaned from close observation of the difficulties, perils and re- sources of the regions traversed by the great overland youtes, are indispensable for the safe guidance of those who venture upon them. Without some previous ac- quaintance with them the traveller and inexperienced ex- plorer will find themselves like a ship without a rudder, or like a mariner without his compass. Whilst such per- ‘sons Will etarve and die in the wilderness, the man for- tified with the knowledge contained in this little volume will not only be able to subsist where his regular aupplies fail him, but to force his way through all the dangers and obstacles that may beset him. Half the failures and disasters which attend expeditions across the Plains are to be traced less to the inherent dif ‘ealties of the routes themselves than to the ignorance ex- hbibited in the preparations made for them. Emigrants are in the habit of encumbering themselves with much that is useless for the road, whilst they neglect to take ‘with them things that are of positive necessity. In their ‘twansport outfits they are just as regardless of the precau- thons that have to be observed in regions in which the changes of temperature are violent and sudden, and in which the constitution of wood and metal, like the consti- ‘tution of man, is liable to be affected differently from their previous experience. To foresee and provide against such bbindrances is, of course, impossible, unless the emigrant jas the advantage of the advice of some experienced frontiersman or trapper. Such hints as he may obtain trom these, however, may not be always suited to the particular regions which he has to traverse, and, more- ever, they cannot always be called to mind when the ‘ccasion for their use presents itself. W bag been Captain Marcy's “hse io provide in this manual against all the emergencies that may arise in a journey across the Plains. He not only gives to the emi- grant the fullest directions as to the manner in which he shall prepare his outfit, thus saving him from the risks and accidents that would otherwise undoubtedly befall him, ‘but he teaches him the nature and importance of those in- @igenous vegetable productions which will help to sustain life when his provisions fall short. Thus, by the careful study of these two hundred and fifty pages, the most in- experienced traveller will find himself in comparative security and comfort in places where those who have ne- glected to avail themselves of Captain. Marcy’s counsels will starve and perish by the way. Having said enough 46 indicate the general character of the work, we shall now make a few extracts to show the clos? condensation and value of its facts. At we have stated, great inconvenience is frequently ‘enuged to emigrants by inattention to the preliminary pre. cautions to be observed in the arrangements for their jour- ney. Qne of the most important of these is the construc- ‘ion of their wagons. On this subject Captain Marcy saye:— ‘Wagons should be of the simplest possible construction— strong, light, and made of well seasoned timber, espe- cially the wheels, as the atmosphere, in the elevated and arid region over which they have to , is so exceedingly @ry during the summer months unless the wood- ‘work is thoroughly seasoned, they will require constant repairs to prevent them from falling to pieces. Wheeis made of the. bois-d’arc, or Osage are the best for the Plains, as they shrink but little, and seldom want repairing. As, however, this wood is not easily procured in the Northern States, white oak answers a very good purpose if well seagoned. Spring wagons made in Concord, New Hampshire, are ‘used to transport passengers and the mails upon some of the routes across the Plains, and they are said, by those who bave used them, to be much saperior to any others, They are made of the close-grained oak that grows in a high northern latitude, and well seasoned. pole of the wagon should have a joint where it on- tere the hounds, to prevent the weight from coming upon it and breaking the hounds in passing short and abrupt holes in the road. The perch or coupling-pole should be shifting or move- able, as, in the event of the loss of a wheel, an axle, or other accident rendering it necessary to abandon the wa- Fo, a temporary cart may be constructed out of the re- Maining portion. The tires should be examined just before commencing the journey, and, if not perfectly snug, reset. One of the chief causes of accidents to carriages upon the Piains arises from the nuts coming off from the nume- rous bolts that secure the running gearing. To prevent this, the ends of all the bolts should be riveted; it is sel- dom necessary to take them off, and when this is required the ends of the bolts may easily be filed away. ‘Wagons with six mules should never, on a long journey over the prairies, be loaded with over two thousand pounds, unless grain is transported, when an additional thousand pounds may be taken, provided it is fed out daily to the team. When grass constitutes the only forage, two thousand pounds is deemed a sufficient load. I regard our government wagons as unnecessarily heavy for six mules, There is sufficient material in them to sustain a burden of four thousand pounds, but they are seldom Joaded with more than half that —-. Every wagon ebould be furnished with substantial bows and double osnaburg covers, to protect its contents from the gun and ‘weather. In regard to the animals which it is most judicious to em- ploy on a long journey (say of fifteen hundred or two thousand miles) over a rough sandy or muddy road, Captain Marcy is of opinion that the preference should be given to oxen. Cows, he adds, will be found very useful upon Jong Townsend & Co.'s Peterson's Edition, journeys when the rate of travel is slow, as they furnis| milk, and in emergencies they may be worked in Jonce saw a small cow yoked beside a large ox, and driven about six hundred miles attached to a loaded wa- gon, and she performed her part equally well with the ox. Ithas been by no means an unusual thing for emi- grant travellers to work cows in their teams. The inhabitants of Pembina, on Red river, work a single ox harnessed in shafts like a horse, and they trans- porta thousand pounds in a rude cart made entirely of ‘wood, without a particle of iron. One man drives and ‘takes the entire charge of eight or ten of these teams upon Jong journeys. ‘This is certainly a very economical method of transportation. Amongst the various interesting anecdotes which are to be found scattered through Captain Marcy’s pages is the Tollowing:— Of the attachment that a mule will form for a horse, I will cite an instance from my own observation, which struck me at the time as being one of the most, remarka- ble and touching evidences of devotion that I have ever known oman a pein leaving Fort | eavenworth with the army for Ut 7857, one off the officers rode a small ‘mule, rwhiceerkdon and gentle disposition soon caused him to become a favo- rite among the soldiers, and they named him Billy. As this officer and myself were often thrown together upon the march, the mule in the course of « few days evinced @ growing attachment for a mare that Irode. The senti- ment, however, was not on her part, and she intimated as much by the reverse position of her ears, und the free exercise of her feet and teeth whenever Billy came within her reach; but these signal marks of displea- sure, instead of discou! rather seemed to increase his devotion, and whenever at liberty he invariably sought to get near her, and appeared much distressed when not permitted to follow her. ‘On leaving Camp Scott for New Mexico Billy was among the number of mules selected for the expedition. During the = 1 was in the oe we oe in the morning, of leading and direct- Sng the packmen to hold the mule until { should get so far im advance with the mare that he could not see us; but the moment he was released he would, in spite of all the efforts of the packers, start off at a most furious , and never stop or cease braying until he reached mare’s Side. We soon found it impossible to keep him with the Semin, and he was finally permitted to have his In the course of time we encountered the deep snows in the Rocky Mountains, where the animals could get no forage and Billy, in’ common with the others, at length became so weak and jaded that he ‘was unable any longer to Jeave his place in the caravan and break a track through ‘the snow around to the front, He made frequent attempts to turn out and force his way sbead, but after numerous unsuccessful efforts he would fall down exhausted, and getup a most mournful braying. ‘The other mules soon began to fafl, and to be left, worn ‘out and famished, to die by the wayside; it was not, how- ever, for some time that Billy showed symptoms of ‘one of the victims, until one evening after our arrival at camp I was informed that he bad down and been eft upon the road the day, The men all daplored his loss as his devotion to the mare had touched thelr kind hearts, and many expremions of ayty were uttered around their bivouac fires on that wicispoad Much to our surprise, howev: bout ten o'clock, ji as we wore about going to sleep rd a mule bray- fq about half a mile to the rear upon our trail. Sure exough it proyed to be Billy, who, wer haying rested, a NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1859.-TRIPLE SHEET. haa followed upon our track and overtak: . As soon ashe reached the side of the mare he lay dows and Oe ee ee him a 0 next day from pack and allowed him to run looge; but di i] mareh he gave eut and was again abandoned to his fate, and this time we certainly never expected to see him more. To our Loge astonishment, however, about twelve ovelock thas nig t the Sonorous but not very musical notes of Billy in the distance aroused us from our slumbers, and again announced his approach. In an instant the men were upon their feet, gave three hearty cheers, and rush- ed out in a body to meet and escort him intocamp. But this well meant ovation elicited no response from him. He came reeling and floundering along through the deep snow, perfectly regardless of these honors, pushing aside all those who occupied the trail or interrupted his progress in the least, wandered about until he found the mare, dropped down by her side, and remained until morning. When we resumed our march on the following day he made another desperate effort to proceed, but soon fell down exhausted, when we reluctantly abandoned him, and saw him no more. Alas! poor Billy! your constancy fate; you may, indecd, be said to unrequited affection. With the itineraries, maps abd diagrams which are given with the work, its value is complete, and it will henceforth become an indispensable pocket companion for emigrants across the Plains. History or tne Waie Parry. By R. McKinley Ormsby. Boston: Crosby, Nicholls & Co. This is an acceptable contribution to our political litera- ture. In @ country in which the foreign element is so Powerful and is so constantly receiving additions, it is desirable that the history of the parties into which we are divided should be clearly set before it. In this way alone can foreigners arrive at a clear comprehension of our domestic politics, and. prepare themselves to dis- charge worthily their duty as citizens. To politicians ge- nerally these party histories are also of use. If they serve no other purpose, they collocate events which it might be difficult and troublesome to hunt up, and thus furnish correct data where otherwise loose assertion would be made to supply the place of facts. Proceepincs AND DEBATES oF THE Tniep NA- TIONAL QUARANTINE AND SANITARY CONVENTION, held in the City of New York. Reported by Gs Collar and Wm. Anderson. Edmund Jones This ponderous volume, which forms one of the au- thorized publications of the Board of Councilmen, will, we fear, not throw much light on the vewa/a questio of the contagiousness of yellow fever. The medical faculty have 80 twisted and perverted the evidence connected with it that they have mystified themselves, mystified the public and left the question more unsettled than ever. Ds Bow’s Review, November, 1869. J. D. B. De Bow, 50 Camp street, New Orleans. Mr. Charles Fleischman, connected for a long time with the United States Patent Office, and the author of several papers “On the Growth of the Sugar Cane,” “On Sheep Culture,” &c., bas of late investigated the different modes of ploughing in use in Europe, Asia and Africa, from which he bas combined a new plough, which is stated to be admirably adapted to the cultivation of our Western prairie lands and other portions of our vast territorial domain, where the usual fertilizers are either two costly or too far removed to be applied with pecuniary advan- tage tothe farmer or planter. Mr. Fleischman has de- scribed his new mode of ploughing in the last number of this review, and the following is a brief résumé of his article. The new system is a combination of the Arabian and Bifang modes of ploughing lands, and insures the fol- lowing advantages:—1. It ploughs with the same labor two acres instead of one acre. 2. It ploughs twelve inches deep, witich js the most suitable depth for corn, cotton, tobacco and sugar. 3, It exposes more subsoil to the influence of light and air. 4. It intermingles the surface soil, where desirable, more thoroughly with the subsoil. 5. It facilitates drainage. 6. It restores old worn out lands by bringing up the subsoil, mixed with the nutritious elements brought down from the surface. If Mr. Fleischman’s new mode fof ploughing will do for two acres what the ordinary plough will do for one, and at no greater cost of time, money or labor, our farmers and planers can hardly fail to adopt it. Our Western lands are certainly as good, to say the least of them, as some the Arabs have been cultivating for thirty centu- ries without guano, e deserved a better we been a victim to Our Si Francisco Correspondence, a Say Fraxcisco, Nov. 7, 1859. Treasure Shipment—Salt Lake Telegraph—Deaths of Ship masters—Miscelancous News, dc., &c. ‘The shipment of treasure on the 2th inst. by the steamship Golden Age, amounted to $1,721,579, against $1,599,048 per steamer of October 20, showing an increase in favor of last shipment of $121,931. The Golden Age carried away 450 passengers, and the Orizaba 490, making a total of 940—a smaller number than usual. There was deposited in the branch mint last woek $200,000 in gold, and $42,000 in twenty dollar gold pieces coined. ‘The company of First dragoons, under command of Major Carlton, which was ordered from Fort Tejon to Santa Barbara to suppress Indian disturbances and assist the local authorities in preserving order, has returned to the former post. Mr. Bee, President of the Placerville and Salt Lake Tele- graph Line, gocs on to Washington by the steamer of the 20th inst. The line is now extended to Carson City, a dis- tance of four hundred miles from Placerville, and the work is progressing steadily. In a few months it will reach Camp Floyd. San Francisco will then be in tele- graphic communication with the headqaarters of the army in Utah. Mr. Bee intends to lay before Congress a me- morial asking for aid on conditions favorable to the overnment. 3 ‘A decree of divorce has been granted in the Twelfth Dis- trict Court to Silas Fuller from his wife Jane E.

The Grand Jury of Sacramento have indicted James Kilan for murdering two Indians, named John and Peter Jack, by repeated blows inflicted’ with a gun barrel, at Michigan Bar, May 20 last. ‘A small propeller bas lately been launched at Benicia, which is to be empioyed in conveying Atlantic newspa- pers and periodicals received by J. W. Sullivan, news agent, from this city to the mterior. She can carry sixty tons of goods, and coal for a week’s use, and, without cargo, coal enough to take her to Panama. ’ She is built of Calfotuia laurel, is 169 feet in length, with 16 feet beam, and draws 534 feet water. ‘A meeting is to be held this evening for the purpose of devising means to erect an astronomical and meteorologi- cal observatory in this city. By the ship Massachusetts, which arrived in this port yesterday from the Ochotsk sea, we learn that, August 5, Captain Waterman, of the bark J. 0. Thompson, died of inflammation of the bowels, and was buried at Elbow Island. We learn also that on the 28th of May, Captain Palmer, of the bark Kingfisher, was carried down by a line fast to a whale, and was lost. On the 28th of August Captain James R. ‘Salmon, of the bark Midas, of New Brunswick, died at Ayan. The overland mail from St. Louis, with dates to October 17, arrived at San Jose this morning. Patrick Conroy, a laborer, who had his leg badly crush- ed by the cars on the Market street railroad, last week, died ‘at St. Mary's Hospital yesterday. ‘The Board of Supervisors have passed a resolution which ives to John O'Meara, late State printer, authority to y a single railroad track along several of the principal streets in the city.

It appears that John McDougall had eloped with a Mies Jacobs, and soon after deserted her. He was not heard of for two yeurs after, until a few days since a brother of the betrayed woman met him. Without delay he went to his house, and taking his gun confronted McDougall and told him he must either marry his sister or die. On McDougall refusing to adopt the former of these alternatives, Jacobs shot him in the abdomen. McDougall ran a little distance and then fell, exclaiming, ‘My God, I am killed.” A Jarge crowd, attracted by the firing, hal now gathered round. Jacobs attempted to escape, but was overtaken, arrested and put in jail. McDougall was seriously, but wot mortally wound ed, and ig Bow recovering. City Intelligence. Murray Ana Imrrovamuyts.—That portion of Murray Hill intersected by the tunnel of the Harlem Railroad, having leng presented a bleak and untoward aspect, not by any means in keeping with the adjacent jocalities, 6 rapidly becoming transformed into one of the most beauti- ful places of residence in the city, affording another evi- dence of the accelerated progress of up town improve- ments. A large number of elegant private residences, with fronts of marble, or brown or Dorchester drab stone. on lots so lately vacant, already challenge attention, an’ a series of parks over the tunnel are nearly completed. ‘The assessment on the property of the neighborhood for the construction of the latter amounted to $38,000. ‘They com- mence at Thirty-fourth street and extend to Thirty-eighth street, making four separate parks, designed in "the rt of an ellipsis, 210 feet in length ‘and 40 feot in width. They are being enclosed with a it Dut durable iron railing surmounting a massive of granite, Each park will be provided with a spacions entrance at each end—the gate sills being over nine feet in length. The grading of the interior will be level with the bottom of the coping, and on the outer side sufliciently high to protect the foundation walls. The carriage way of the avenue on either side of the parks, as well ag the crossings, will be finished with the Belgian pavement. When the plots thus enclosed are ornamented with shrubs and tlowers, as they doubtless will be in the courge of the ensuing spring and summer, they cannot fail to vastly enhance the general appearance of the locality, and in connection with the high grade of this porta of the avenue and the palatial resi- dences recently erected, will combine to render it one of the most attractive places of residence within the limits of the city. Between Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh streets, where there are still some fourteen lots remaining undis- Posed of, it is rumored that one or two of our wealthier down town churches have in view the future location of their places of worship. As the wealth and fashion of the city are tending in this direction, it will probably not be long before the various building sites on Murray Hill and its neighborhood will be occupied either by private dwell- ings, churehes or publicedifices. ‘Tux New Yorx Socrery ror Tas Reumer or tre Winows AND ORPHANS OF Mepical Mxy.—The seventeenth annual meeting of this society was held last evening in one of the rooms of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, for the pur- pose of electing officers for the enguing year. Dr. Isaac ‘Wood ocoupied the chair, and Dr. J. W. G. Clements offl- ciated as secretary. Fifteen members being requisite to constitute a quoruim, it was after five o’clock when the business of the meeting was commenced. The minutes of several previous meetings were first read and adopted, and then the balloting for a new Presideat was jinme- diately commenced. On the first ballot a majority was not obtained; on the second Dr. Isaac Wood received 9 votes, Dr. James Anderson 11, and Dr. Carman 1; accord- inely. Dr. Anderson was elected President. The election ot three Vice Presidents wag then proceeded with by ballot; this election required three different ballots; the following gentlemen were elected:—Drs. Buck- ley, Carman and Wm. Detmold. Dr. Ed. L. Beadle was ‘then elected Treasurer. The election by ballot of seven new Managers to fill vacancies in the board, was then com- menced, and Drs. Post, O. White, Hubbard, Delafield, Wood, Woodward and John J. Crane were declared duly elected, and the meeting, without any discussion or com- ment from the members, immediately adjourned. Lecrure on THe Usury Laws.—Mr. Hiram Ketchum, Jr., delivered a lecture last evening at Clinton Hall, on the subject of the usury laws, to a very respectable but slim audience. The discourse was devoted to the task of proving the necessity of abolishing all laws regulating the rate of interest on money, which laws, the lecturer con- tended, were unconstitutional in the first place. and in the second place absurd, because the rate of interest would always be regulated by the great Jaws of demand and supply, in spite fof any enactments that might be tothe contrary. Usury laws, he sald, orig! ; in a superstitious idea of the Catholic church that the making Of proat on the lending of money was agricvous immo- rality and offence against the law of the Almighty. The laws of this State were especially absurd, for they legal- ized the imposing of twenty-five per cent by the pawn- broker on a poor man’s hat or shirt, while they restricted the profit of tne capitalist tothe low figure of only seven per cent. The urse of Mr. K. was on the wi well written as a literary composition, though most of his ideas lacked originality, and those which he ven- tured on his own responsibility were deficient in the very important qualification of consistency. Fazat Accent To a Frreuay.—James Whalen, the fire- man who was injured while proceeding to the fire in Trin- ity place, on Monday evening, died yesterday at the New York Hospital, from the effects of his wounds.

The Board of Engi- neers and Foremen of the Fire Department will meet to- night at Firemen’s Hall, Mercer street, to make arrange- ments to attend the funeral of deceased. Suicms sy Drowsiva.—On Tuesday evening an un- known man committed suicide by jumping overboard from one of the Houston street ferry boats, A small boat was launched, and every effort was made to save the life of the unfortunate man, but no trace of him could be dis- covered. It is supposed that the paddiewhee! struck him and killed him instantly.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Ferry Hovsr, BLackweit’s Istaxp, Noy, 28, 1859. An article having appeared in your issue of yesterday, Stating that ‘‘complaints have been made by some of the captains of the numerous steamboats which navigate the East river,” of the ‘rgekless’ manner in which “the crews of the Blackwell’s Island ferry boats cross between New York and the island,” and of their too frequent “attempts to run across a steamboat’s bow’’—we, in self- vindication, beg leave to state that the above remarks can have no reference whatever to the boats under our super- intendence; which boats, by the way, are the only ones that are recognized by the Board of Governors as “ferry boats.” What has taken place with rd to the other boats which daily cross to and from the island we do not ca to say; but we are convinced that so far from ing ‘reckless’? or foolhardy, the coxswains of our Doats use the utmost vigilance and caution in crossing the river. As to the boat which was “run down,” and which it is to be regretted resulted so fatally, about a year ago, it was the consequence of an exceedingly dense fog, an not of recklessness on the part of the poor coxswain who lost his life on that melancholy occasion, and who had always been remarkable for his prudence and caution in the performance of his duty.

Mannine, it appeared, was an old offender, having served no less than three terms in the State prison, Learning these facta, the Judge very properly imposed the highest penalty which the law allowed, and sentenced ifim to the State prison for four years and eleven months. George Taylor, a youth, charged with the high crime of burglary in the first degree, pleaded guilty to an attempt to enter the dwelling house of Wm. Fitzpatrick, on the night of the 15th of September. He will be sentenced on ‘Wednesday.
