SELECTIONS FOR THE SEASON.
FROM THOMPSON.
AN AUTUMNAL DAY DESCRIBED.
Hence every harsher sight! For now the day,
O’er heaven and earth diffused, grown warm, and
High;
Infinite splendor! wide investing all.
How still the breeze! rare what the filmy thread
Of dew evaporate brushes from the plain.
How clear the cloudless sky; ho deeply tinged
With a peculiar blue the ethercal arch
How swelled immense, amid whose azure throned,
The radiant sun how gay! how calm below
The gilded earth! the harvest-treasures all
Now gathered in, beyond the rage of storms,
Sure to the swain; the circling fence shut up;
And instand Winter’s utmost rage defied;
While, loose to festive joy, the country round
Laughs with the loud sincerity of mirth,
Shook to the wind their cares. The toil-strung
youth,
By the quick sense of music taught alone,
Leaps wildly graceful in the lively dance.
Her every charm abroad, the village toast,
Young, buxom, warm, in native beauty rich,
Darts not unmeaning looks; and, where her eye
Points on approving smile, with double force
The eudgel rattles, and the wrestler twines.
Age, too, shines out, and, garrulous, recounts
The feats of youth. Thus they rejoice; nor
think,
That, with to-morrow’s sun, the annual toil
Begins again the never-ceasing round.
THE SKY OF AUTUMN.
When the bright Virgin gives the beauteous
days,
And Libra weighs in equal scales the year;
>From Heaven’s high cope the fierce effulgence
shook,
Of parting summer, a serener blue,
With golden light enlivened, wide invests
The happy world. Attempered sums ariac,
Sweet-beamed, and shedding oft through lucid clouds
A pleasing calm; while broad, and brown, below
Extensive harvests hang the heavy head.
Rich, silent, deep, they stand; for not a gale
Rolls its light billows o’er the bending plain;
A calm of plenty! Till the ruffled air
Falls from its poise, and gives the breeze to blow.
Rent is the (???) of the sky;
The clouds fly indifferent; and the sudden sun
By fits effulgent gilds the illum’d field
And black by fit’s the shadows sweep along.
A gayly checkered, heart-expanding view,
Far as the circling eye can shoot around,
Unbounded tossing in a flood of corn.
THE AUTUMNAL MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
When Autumn scatters his departing gleams,
Warned of approaching Winter, gathered, play
The swallow-people; and tossed wide around
O’er the calm sky, in convolution swift.
The feathered eddy floats; rejoicing once,
Ere to their wintry slumbers they retire,
In clusters clung, beneath the moldering back,
And where, (???) by frost, the cavern sweats.
Or rather into warm climes conveyed,
With other kindred birds of season, there
They twitter cheerful, till the vernal months
Invite them welcome back; for, thronging, now
Innuncruous wings are in commotion all.
THE SOMBRE HILLS OF AUTUMN.
But see the fading, many-colored woods,
Shade deepening over shade, the country round
Imbrown; a crowd umbrage, dusk, and dun,
Of every hue from wan-deelining green
To sooty dark. These now the lonesome (???)
Low whispering, lead into their leaf-strewn
Walks,
And give the Season its latest view.
The Proposed Territory of Carson.
The people of Carson Valley, and other valleys adjacent, held a public meeting at Genos, on the 8th ult., to consider the propriety of petitioning Congress for a separate organization. So far as we can learn from a report of the proceedings published by persons who were present, the meeting was unanimous in favor of a new territory of their own. The reason for demanding a separation from the dominion of Utah, are that they dislike the Mormons, and have now no political communication with the authorities of Salt Lake, and during the winter could have no communication if they wished it. A government is necessary to them; their population is large and rapidly increasing, and they need protection against rascals within and Indians without. The majority of the inhabitants of Carson and the adjacent valley are Gentiles, and do not wish to have Mormon officers over them.
The meeting, in their memorial, ask Congress to organize them into a territory, with the following boundaries:
Beginning on the northwest on a line of 42 degrees north lattitude, and longitude 120 deg.; thence following the Oregon and Utah boundary line on a direct east course to longitude 110; thence in a south-east course to about north lattitude 88 and longitude 114; thence further in the same direction to north lattitude 84 and longitude 112; thence almost a (???) course to the boundary line between the State of Honors, in the Republic of Mexico and the territory of New Mexico; then along that line to the eastern boundary of California, and thence along the latter line to the plays of beginning.
The Carson Vally people estimate the white inhabitants of the territory, within their proposed boundaries, at 7,000 of whom about 1,000 are in the Valley of the Virgin.
James M. Crade was chosen at the meeting a delegate to go to Washington and urge Congress to grant the petition. He goes on by the steamer of to-day to fulfill the duties of his mission.-Alta California, Sept. 5.
The Dred Scott Decision.
An able article in the Northern American Review for October on this Decision concludes with these paragraphs:
Though Congress may restrict slavery in the Territories, it by no means follows that they have power to establish it. The general legislative power of Congress over the Territories, though extended to a great variety of subjects which are not embraced in its jurisdiction over the States, is nevertheless limited by the general principles of our government, and the express prohibitions of the Constitution. It will hardly be pretended that they could establish a h hereditary monarchy or an aristocracy there. As little can they create privileged orders of any sort. If they can appoint the class or order of men to rule and another to serve, and for masters and another for slaves, this power is not necessary to be limited or confined to any difference of color or blood; for the Constitution recognizes none. They may as well distinguish between the English and the other European races, as between the Euopean and the African; or between the Carolinian and the New Yorker, or the Pennsylvanian and the Virginian, as either. If they can make slaves at all, they may as well make white ones as black. If they can deprive one man of his liberty without due process of law, they may so deprive any number, or all, and thereby have an entire colony of slaves. If any part of this can be done, under the principles of our free government, all the prohibitions of our Constitution are not worth a rush. What is the freedom of speech, or of the press, or even a promise of the free exercise of religion, worth to men who are liable to be deprived of all right to their own bodies, and all care for their own souls? And what is a Constitution worth which affects to secure certain particular rights only, and leaves the great aggregate of all rights exposed to depredation? Besides, if Congress can introduce and establish slavery anywhere, under the authority of our Constitution, they can and ought to regulate, protect, and enforce it; and the time is not distant when they, or those acting under them, will be called upon to enact a whole code of slavery law, * which would be as congruous with the spirit and principles of our Constitution, as a code regulating and enforcing the relative rights and duties hereditary kings, lords, commons, and villains.
Three points were intended to be decided in this case: that a Negro cannot be a citizen; that a slave, after residing in a Free state, with the consent of his master, and returning to a Slave state, continues a slave; and that the Missouri Compromise, or any other restriction of slavery in the Territories, is unconstitutional. By grasping at too much, the court have lost the whole. As a judicial decision, the case can have no legal authority on either point. Not on the first, because the position is sustained by only three judges. Not on the second, because five judges, + a majority of the court, any the suit was abated by the plea to the jurisdiction, and judgment was so ordered, which legally put an end to the course. Not on the third, for the same reason, and the additional one that the question did not affect the rights of the parties, and so its decision “was not required by the case.”
This is the character of the case, considered in a legal point of view, and as a judicial act of the court. But as a political manual or text-book, an authorized registration of the political heresies of the dominant part of the day, it will be all it was intended to be. It will form a rally-ing point and car-mark for political partisans, tillsome other (???) dogma shall be called for, and created to stand in its place.
As to the practical influence of the decision, the case will probably disappoint both parties, those who approve and those who disapprove its principles. A Missouri Compromise restriction of slavery, under the authority of Congress, is little likely to be again enacted, or to be asked or desired by any portion of the people; and as little before as since this decision. Slaveholders will not be aprt to trust their slaves, voluntarily, in the Free states, where no law can restrain their departure for an hour, or reclaim them when they depart, from any expectation they may indulge of holding them again in slavery when they get them back. Such states as may choose to invest their free colored inhabitants with any or all of the rights of citizenship, will not be likely to desist therefrom, on account of any of the considerations presented by the court in this case. Thus, but for its effect upon the character of the court, the world will probably move on very much as it did before. The country will feel the consequences of this decision more deeply and more permanently, in the loss of confidence in the sound judicial integrity and strictly legal character of their tribunals, than in anything beside; and this perhaps may well be accounted the greatest political calamity which this country, under our forms of government, could sustain.
*Has not this been already attempted in Kanzas, under the authority of the United States!

Making Buchanan’s majority 409, and showing a Democratic loss and Republican gain of 1,510 votes. The State will soon also, be Republican.
INDIA.
INCIDENTS OF THE REBELLION.
PUNISHMENT OF THE REBELS.-Gen. Neill says in a letter written from Cawnpore, Aug. 1st:
“Whenever a rebel is caught, he is immediately tried, and unless he can prove a defence, he is sentenced to be hanged at once; but the chief rebels or ringleaders I make first clean up a portion of the pool of blood, still two inches deep, the the shed where the fearful murder and mutilation of women and children took place. To touch blood is most abhorrent to the high-caste natives; they think by doing so they doom their souls to perdition. Let them think so. My object is to inflict a fearful punishment for a revolting, cowardsly, barbarous deed, and to strike terror into these rebels. The first I caught was a subahdar, or native officer, a high-caste Brahmin, who tried to resist my order to clean up the very blood he had helped to shed; but I made the provost-marshal do his duty, and a few lashes soon made the miscreant accomplish his task. When done, he was taken out and immediately hanged. No one who has witnessed the scene of murder, mutilation and massacre, can ever listen to the word of mercy, as applied to these fiends. The well of mutilated bodies-alas (???)-containing upwards of 200 women and children, I have had decently covered in, and built up as one large grave. I am in the entrenched camp-a most miserable position.”
SHOCKING SCENES.-The following is from an officer:
Jubbulpore, Aug. 5.-We were fondly hoping that all mutinies were at an end, but the last four days has brought us intelligence of the mutiny of six regiments. At Segowlie the 12th Irregular Calvary mutinied. They shot their commanding officer, his wife and child, and burnt alive their doctor, with his wife and child, in their own bungalow. At Futtyghur the wife and child of Mr. Tucker, being about to fall into the hands of another rebellious set, she called to her husband to shoot her at once. He did so, his child also, and then himself. A Maj. Robertson has also shot his wife and children himself, under similar circumstances. This is a new and melancholy feature in the tragedies. All this having occurred within the last few days makes us the more anxious about being left here unprotected. The officers of the 52d naturally uphold their own regiment but as now there are scarrery ten regiments remaining of the Bengal army, it is very probable that the 52d will go sooner or later. It is most inscrutable. A regiment appears staunch up to the hour it mutinies. Everything going on as usual up to the very hour of the outbreak.
OUR MARTYRED MISSIONARIES.-The N. Y. Observer says:
The last ray of hope has been dispelled by the late arrival news from India, and we must now record, with the feelings of the profoundest sorrow, that there is every reason to believe the four missionary families of the Presbyterian Board at Futtehgurh have perished in the massacre. They have been traced to the vicinity of Cawnporn, and it was hoped that when General Haveclock arrived there, he would find them alive, and rescue them from the insurgents, but he reports but one white person as saved, and her name is not given; so that the painful fact is pressed upon our hearts that our brethren and sisters, our dear friends Freeman, and Campbell, and Johnson, and McMullen, and their wives, and two children of Mr. And Mrs. Campbell, have fallen victim to the awful insurrection in India.
Rev. John E. Freeman went out, in 1838, and has been a faithful missionary for about nineteen years. He married Miss Beach, in Newark, N.J., who died about ten years ago. Mr. F. afterwards married a valued friend of ours, Miss Vredenburg, a lady of great accomplishments and worth, with a large circle of friends in this city and New Jersey.
Rev. David A. Campbell was from Wisconsin, and his wife from Ohio.
Rev. Albert O. Johnson and wife are both from Western Pennsylvania.
Rev. Robert E. McMullen was from Philadelphia, and his wife was Miss Pierson, from Patterson, N.J. All of them were among the most able and useful missionaries of the Board, and their loss is a blow to the work, compared with which the destruction of $100,000 worth of property in India is not to be mentioned.
How Panics are Sometimes Produced.
As an illustration of what slight causes are often panic-producers, we copy from Timbs’ Curiosities of History, an account of a panic in England in the year 1832:
“In May, 1882, a ‘run upon the Bank of England’ was produced by the walls of London being placarded with the emphatic words, ‘to stop the Duke, go for the gold,’ advice which was followed as soon as given, to a prodigious extent. The Duke of Wellington was then very unpopular; and on Monday, the 14th of May, it being currently believed that the Duke had formed a Cabinet, the panic became universal, and the run upon the Bank of England was so incessant, that in a few hours upwards of half a million was carried off. Mr. Doubleday, in his ‘Life of Sir Robert Peel,’ states it to be well known that the above placards were the device of four gentlemen, two of whom were elected members of the Reformed Parliament. Each put down L20, and the (???) thus clubbed was expended in printing thousands of those terrible missives, which were eagerly (???), and were speedily soon upon every wall in London. The effect is hardly to be described. “It was electric.”
Democratic Holidays.
The Lowell (Mass.) News says it has been decided to stop Appleton Mills for one month-shutting down the gates to night till the 5th of October-and that the Massachusetts and Prescott Mills will suspend operations in a few days for a couple weeks or so. The mills of these three corporations contain 77,432 spindles, and employ 1,700 females and 320 males.-[Exchange.
These, says the Evening Journal, are the holidays that Pro-Slavery Democracy gives the people-holidays in which men and women seek work in vain and in vain look for wages,-holidays pinched by want and overcast with anxiety for the future. They are cotton spinners who are thus turned out to the ghastly merriment of idleness and want. The weavers of broadcloth in the United States have long had just such a holiday. Not one of their mills is now in operation in the whole length and breadth of our land. “Starve, or learn new labor!” said sham Democracy in 1846. “We shall buy abroad and not at home. We shall pay our money to British, French and German weavers.-You can take a holiday.”
Once in the interval bounded between the calamity of Walker in the Treasury Department, and Walker in the Governorship of Kanzas, the iron-makers of the United States were given a grand holidayof bankruptcy and forced idleness. Their rulers are about conceding to them a new term of such pleasant leisure.-Democracy will shoon shut up tight nearly all the furnaces and rolling mills in the country. Our revenue system, favoring foreign productions and discouraging native industry, will let in British iron at such low rates (made purposely low so as to drive us for a while out of our own markets) that a holiday for the employers ande workmen will inevitably come. Its ghastly enjoyments, both capitalists and operatives will be forced to take their full of-the attorney and the sheriff being the masters of the ceremonies.
Democracy, under the bidding of Slavery, which ravenously hates Free Labor, buys abroad and not at home-it sends the money of the country in a steady stream to Europe-it gets the nation all over in debt to far-off creditors-it “contracts” bank accommodations-it frightens capitalists-it destroys commercial confidence-it makes panics and sweeps up fortunes and credit with a whirl of bankruptcy. If the courage, the forbearance, the economy and the patience of the people do not intervene for their protection, a national “holiday,” such as Pro-slavery Democracy is now giving the New England cotton spinners, will be given by it to the mechanics and laborers of the United States. But the only hilarious revellers at that protracted festivity will be the uninvited manufacturers of Europe-pleasantly obtruding upon our miserable joys and happy-like gobbling up and carrying off the scanty feasts spread for the occasion.-Kingston Journal.
Death of George Washington
Parke Custis, of Arlington.
The venerable Mr. Custic, of Arlington, died at his residence in Alexandria county, Va., on Sunday last. The whole country knew him, and his patriotism will long be remembered. Closely allied to the Washington family, fond of calling himself the child of Mount Vernon, he was never so much in his element as when he was talking or writing of the great chief and the men and times of the revolution. He had been fondled on the knee of the Father of his Country, and received from him the kindness of a parent. He repaid that care and affection with filial devotion, and to the day of his death all recollections of his life centred around or radicated from the time he was one of Washington’s family. He lived to a good old age, (seventy-seven years,) retaining his mental faculties to the last.-Baltimore Sun, Oct. 12th.
The Yankees in the Crimea.
We met on Wednesday, Wm. Leland of New York, who has returned form the Crimea, where with his associates, he has been engaged in raising the Russian ships sunk at Sebastopol. He reports the operatioon a good one financially. Many articles are raised in a perfect state. Chains, anchors, guns, rigging, and many valuable things are entirely uninjured, but the hulls of the vessles are badly worm-eaten. There are two companies on the ground-one from New York, and the other from Boston. They have united their operations, have between them four vessels, and have ninety-seven Americans engaged in the operations. When he left, there were but two of these on the sick list. Quite a large number of Russians are also employed at 30 cents a day. The companies have half of what they raise, the other half going to the Russian government, which also stands ready to purchase any thing of value that falls to the lot of the companies. It is a regular Yankee operation, and a very good exemplification of the enterprise of the American.-Springfield Republican.
The Georgia Election.
From dispatches received from Augusta and Savannah we learn that Brown, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is elected by about ten thousand majority. The Democrats have carried bouth branches of the State Legislature by large majorities. In the Sixth Congressional district, Jackson, Democrat, is elected by two thousand majority. The Congressional delegation stands six Democrats to two Know Nothings-a Democratic gain of one. The delegations are as follows:
Dist. 1-James L. Seward, Democrat.
2-Martin J. Crawford, Democrat.
3-Robt. P. Trippe, Know Nothing.
4-Lucius J. Gartroll, Democrat.
5-Augustan R. Wright, Democrat.
6-James Jackson, Democrat.
7-Joshua Hill, Know Nothing.
8-A.U. Stephens, Democrat.
Letter from Senator Sumner.
The following extract from a recent letter of Charles Sumner indicates the interest which he feels in the pending political struggle in this country:
HEIDELBERG, Sept. 11, 1857.
MY DEAR-: Weeks have now passed since I have seen a letter or a newspaper from home. During this time I have been traveling away from news, and, I am now famished. On my arrival at Antwerp I trust to find letters at last.
I have been ransacking Switzerland; I have visited most of its lakes, and have crossed several of its mountains on mule back. My strength has not allowed me to venture upon any of those foot expeditions which are the charms of Swiss travel, and by which you reach places out of the way; but I have seen much, and have gained health constantly.
I have crossed the Alps by the St.Gothard, and then re-crossed by the Grand St. Bernard, passing a night with the monks and dogs; I have passed a day at the foot of Mont Blanc, and another day on the wonderful Lake Leman. I have been in the Pyrences, in the Alps, in the Channel Isles. You will next hear of me in the Highlands of Scotland.
I see our politics now in distant perspective; and I am more than ever satisfied that our course is right. It is slavery which degrades our country and prevents its example from being all-conquering. In fighting our battle at h ome we are fighting the battle of freedom everywhere. Be assured I shall return, not only with renewed strength, but with renewed determination to give myself to our great cause. Ever sincerely yours,
CHARLES SUMNER.
Wisconsin Democracy.
A cheering sign of the times is seen in the defection of the German wing of the Wisconsin Democracy. These men who came to America, to enjoy the blessings of a Freedom denied to them in the Old World, are beginning to realize that if they would conserve the cause of humanity they must repudiate the modern dogmas of the National Democracy. The following resolutions passed by the Germans at Racine fully define their position, present and past:
Resolved, That we adhere immovably to the doctrine and principles which the founder of the Democratic Republican party, Thomas Jefferson, has announced.
Resolved, That we reaffirm the platform of the Democratic party of Wisconsin of the year 1849.
Resolved, That we consider the action of the present Federal Administration in conflict with those principles which the founders of the Republic have set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the exertions of the Democratic party to extend slavery into free territory.
Resolved, That we perceive in the late decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Dred Scott, and attempt to give slavery an appearance of legality.
Resolved, That in the platform of the Republican party of Wisconsin, framed September 3d, 1857, we again find these principles which are laid down in the Declaration of Independence, and in the Federal Constitution, and which have been in former days the basis of the Democratic party.
Resolved, That we have full confidence in those men who have been nominated by the Republican party, that they, when elected, will conduct their offices faithfully, honestly, and righteously.
The Rebellion in India---views of
Rev. G. L. Hay.
Rev. G.L. Hay, who went from Indianapolis, Ind., about seven years ago, to India, as a Missionary of the Assembly’s Board (Old School Presbyterian) and who was stationed in the Northern Presidencey when the rebellion occurred, excaped, with his family, and returned home by way of England. He arrived in New York recently, and from statements given by him to the New York papers we obtain the following as his views of the progress and prospects of the rebellion:
The causes of the mutiny are more wide-reaching in the Bengal Presidence than in either of the other two-Bombay and Madras. The principal of these is to be found in the policy pursued by the government in the construction of the army. While in Bombay and Madras the native forces are constituted of more heterogeneous materials, in Bengal caste has been recognized, and the entire force drawn from a homogeneous set of men, who have always looked upon themselves as a superior class, and who never have and never will work. To be soldiers, and as such superior to other men, is their social condition and pride. In thus attaching to itself the military caste, the government believed that it was securing the strength of the country, and that it could lay off caste against caste with security.
It is this pampered pride that has now turned upon those who fostered it. Musselman ambition has joined with the Brahminical teachers, and they have used every means to stimulate the pride of the Sepoys and their hatred for anything that mind tend to deprive them of their social superiority. So far as regards the great mass of the other inhabitants, Mr. Hay does not think they are deeply imbued with the spirit of disaffection. The administration of justice by the British officials has been equitable; and though some of the native officers of the government have abused their power, and intreated the native population subject to them, the mass of the people recognize in the British rule a far better administration than has ever been experienced under native government. They are therefore not deeply interested in the success of the mutineers, except so far as tho excited fanaticism of some may find them to participate in it.
The happiest man in the world is the man with just wealth enough to keep him in spirits, and just children enough to make him industrious.
The Free-State Triumph.
Has seent a thrill through the heart of the Nation. Not withstanding the gloomy condition of business, the people stopped to rejoice. The following call from the Cincinnati Commercial of the 12th inst., for a public demonstration of the jubilant feeling while it is novel in itself, will show something of the sensation produced by the dawn light of a better day for Kanzas. We publish a fac simile of the call!
Republican Rally To-Night.
There is to be a loud, long, multitudinous hozanne of a “shriek for freedom” in Fifth Street Market place to-night. The tidings of the immortal victory won by the Free-state boys in Kanzas, thrilled the hearts of Republicans yesterday, and there was unanimous enthusiasm in favor of an
ALL HAIL KANZAS!
Bleeding Kanzas Meeting To-Night!
The thunder of an hundred gun salute from Jackson Hill is to be first in order, and the Republicans are to gather at their usual places of meeting in the several wards, transact such local business as the occasion may demand, and then repair to Fifth Street Market space. Bills will be out during the day telling about speakers and other miscellaneous matters. The fact is, everybody is to speak, and to shriek for freedom. There was a moral earthquake in town yesterday. There was a commotion among the dry bones. The Border Ruffian plug-ugly Demcracy shivered in their shoes. Republicans stood up on their pastern-joints. Over the Rhine there was a perfect revival among those faithful to freedom’s cause. Come out to night in processions or alone. Come with the banners and with brass bands. Come with torches and transparencies. Blow the big horns-fire the big guns. “Sound the loud timbrils o’er Egypt’s dark sea.” The people of Kanzas are free. The proud oppressors have been laid law. The Free-state-boys are victorious over the allied powers of Niggerdom, Doughfacedom, and the Inferusal Regions.
DAMAGES CLAIMED FOR THE NEGROES HUNG BY THE MOB.-Legal action was yesterday instituted in Jefferson Circuit Court against the city of Louisville, for the value of the slaves George, Bill, and Jack the murderers of the Joyce family. George and Bill, it will be remembered, were hung by the infuriated mob, and Jack cut his own throat in jail, to escape the fate which befel his companions. For their horrible crime $1,500 is claimed as damages by the owners of the Negroes. This suit will be of interest and importance, involving, as it does, some delicate principles of law.-Louisville Courier.
REAL ESTATE.-It is one of the phenomenons of the times that real estate does not seem to be affected by the failures of the merchants, brokers, bankers, etc.-The reason is, that these men do not own real estate. In 1837, every merchant who failed had real estate assets. Now they have only “paper.” In some cases their wives own the houses they live in; but as a general rule the Island of Manhattan is owned by men, women and children who are not known in the commercial world. Hence the failures throw no real estate upon the market.
FIRES IN THE UNITED STATES.-According to a table in the New York Journal of Commerce, from the 1st of January, 1857, to the present time, 256 fires have occurred in the United States, entailing a loss of $11,560,000. For the same time in ‘56 the loss was $13,306,000. The greatest loss was in February, two millions, while in March and April it was a million and three quarters.

THE SCHOOLMASTER NOT IN TENNESSEE.-The following was handed us by a brother quill, as taken from an obituary notice sent him for publication. “Speaking of the disease of which the person died, the writer says he died of Tifoid nese money (Typhoid pneummonia).” The deceased had nothing to do with the present pressure in the money market.-Nashville Times.
A NARROW ESCAPE.-“Mither, Mither! What have you done?” said a little hews-boy with protruding eyes to a greenhorn, who had just tied his horse, as he supposed, to a spruse pale on St. Clair (???). “Donal” said the fellow, “what do you mean? I haint been doin’ nothing’ as I knows on!” Wy seth you have this; you been and hitched (???) magnetic telegraph, and openly be in Buffalo (???) than two months if you don’t look out.” The (???) anxiety; and jumping into the wagon drove hastily down the street.

Has been thrown out by Gov. WALKER and SEC. STANTON. A paper from them upon this subject will be found in another column.

Full Returns.
Davis’s National Democratic Citizen
of the 17th says:
Our Eagle is restless to scream. All
we want is full returns, and we will give
him wing.”
We suspect when the returns as they
are reach the jubilant individual it will
be found that his bird is of “moping”
species, which will scream in the nighttime
to the tune of “Boo-hoo-hoo!”
Kick-a-poo!
PHILLIP T. COLBY of Quindaro was
elected Justice of the Peace in this Precinct.
He received 822 votes!
The Strongholds of Democracy.
Kickapoo Precinct, in Leaven-
worth county, which has less than 800
legal voters, but polled 920 votes, whilst
Leavenworth City, a place of more than
five (???) site, only cast 788 votes.
Oxford Precinct, in Johnson county,
where there were 1628 more votes
polled than there were voters.
McGee County, which does not contain
fifty legal voters, but returned 1202
Pro-Slavery to 24 Free-state votes.
Marshall County, where the teamsters
and the others of Gov. Cummings’
train polled enough votes to give a Proslavery
majority.
Atchison County, that did, without
very enormous frauds, elect a Pro-
slavery delegation to each branch of the
Legislature.
FRAUD!
We quote the following paragraphs
from one column of last week’s Wyan-
dott Citizen, (Davis’s mouthpiece):
“His Excellency, would-be-Gov. RobInson,
heads a mob to break up a quiet,
orderly Democratic meeting in Quin-
daro.”
“J.M. WALDEN, the editor of the
Quindaro Chindowan, the organ of his
Excellency, would-be-Gov. Robinson, is
the first man to cast a fraudulent vote on
election day.”
“KICKAPOO.-Kickapoo is the banner
town of Democracy in Leavenworth
county. Most nobly did she do her duty
in the late election. All true Democrats
owe her a debt of gratitude for her noble
vote. All honor to Kickapoo, say we,
the Gibraltar of Democracy in Leaven-
worth county.”
Citizenship-Fraud.
We voted at the recent election. This exercise by us of the rite of an American citizen has elicited a prolonged howl from some of the subsidized presses of the Pro-slavery-Democratic party. A cotemporary remarkable only for its pertinacious dullness, charges us with having committed a fraud upon the ballot-box, a charge which we would pass by silently but that our case is similar to that of many other citizens of Kanzas and a clear understanding of the matter by the voting public will be important at momentous elections which must soon take place in this state. Where emigration is as rapid as it has been to Kanzas during some seasons of the year, when thousands are starting from their old homes on the same day to seek new ones here, the application of the principle to which we will presently advert might make a material difference in the result of an election.
When we cast our ballot on Tuesday the 6th day of October we were conscious of being a legal elector of Kanzas even under the regime of the Bogus Laws. We have as yet found no change in those convictions which prompted us to vote. The facts in our case are simply that after determining to make Quindaro our residence, we on the 2nd day of April shipped the materials which now compose our printing office from Cincinnati Ohio to this place, and on Saturday, the 4th day of April last, started from Cincinnati to come to Kanzas, our new residence. This entitled us to a vote at the recent election under the six months law. We understand that in such case where the right of suffrage is affected by a specified residence that residence dates from the time the individual starts from the place of a former residence and not from the date of his arrival at his latter abode-we understand that the time occupied in transitu counts in his favor and not against him.
The case before us is not without precedents. A conclusion which common sense would clearly indicate has been declared by those whose position entitles their opinion to respect. By reference to proceedings in California it will be found that the Attorney General of the State gave an opinion that the time spent in transitu should be counted in the favor of the immigrant, and this opinion was referred to the Supreme Court of that state among whom was Mr. Judge MURRAY and by this respectable body there was an unanimous approval of the opinion advanced by the Attorney General. Under this ruling the residents of California voted and by it thousands were admitted to the polls who would have been excluded had their residence dated from the time of their arrival in the state. The same principle was decided in the same way by a Court in Massachusetts, and we doubt not it has been decided in other states. Until Kanzas is favored with a decent judiciary and that judiciary reverse these decisions we shall not in accordance with the light afforded by other courts.
In deference to our distinguished fellow-citizen, ALSON C. DAVIS, we would ask his opinion as a Lawyer upon the principle in question.
COURTEOUS.
We are under obligation to ALSON C. DAVIS’s mouth-piece, the Wyandott Citizen, for the prominence given, in his last issue, to our name. In the three or four amiable columns devoted to us, we find our cognomen repeated twenty-six times, a distinguished consideration for which words would be but feeble expression of gratitude.
A very beautiful improvement has
been made in the manufacture of writ-
ing paper, by which the water lines are
made to cross each other at right angles,
answering all the purposes of ruling while
it gives a fine appearance to the sheet.
HON. ALSON C. DAVIS-Enough fraudulent Black Republican votes have already been discovered to give Mr. Davis a large majority of the legal votes in this precinct. While he was at work, endeavoring to secure to the bona fide residents of Kanzas, (???) election, J.M. Walden and his associated clique of demagogues were planning (???) attack upon the purity of the ballot box.-Wyandott Citizen.
We quote this paragraph for the special benefit of the individual whom it lands. The poor fellow is famishing for publicity and so far as we can give him relief he shall have it.
One citizen of Quindaro who has been in Kanzas four months voted at Wyandott, and cast his ballot for Alson C. Davis. We know every man in Quindaro who voted at this election; and believe him to be the only one who cast an illegal vote.
It were a tedious task to follow Davis through the canvass and point out the many foibles he exhibited in his most truckling schemes of electioneering. In his speeches there was no principle he designed to discuss, no party or local prejudice to which he did not appeal. On the stump he cast aside all the dignity of a man, that he might mouth bloviating challenges he never intended to meet. In private he manifested no decent self-respect, but over-stepped all modesty, button-holed every voter he could meet, besought his support which humiliated mendacity, and if by whining supplication failed, he would not leave his victim until he had whispered into his ear groundless insinuations respecting his opponent.
Will he dare deny that he attempted to prejudice voters in Quindaro against Dr. Root by representing that the Dr. was an enemy to our town? Will he dare deny that he gave our townsfolk to understand that he (Davis) had intentions of removing to Quindaro and patronized our citizens, to give coloring to these intimations. In view of his course we hesitate not to pronounce him what we have regarded him to be since he thus revealed his true character-a poor, unscrupulous, fawning demagogue.
We have some evidence too, as to how Davis, the dear conservator of the elective franchise, endeavored “to secure to the bona fide residents of Kanzas a fair election.”
One was that he provided himself with “posters” of the same color as the Free-state ticket, on which his name was printed. These were prepared with some adhesive substance on the reverse side. In his bland, gracious way he would step up to a voter shake him by the hand, ask to see his ballot, divert his attention for a moment during which by an expert movement the poster was pasted over his opponents name, then he would hand the ticket back folded up as he received it, and pronounce it very good.
Another way was to take a man around the corner of the house where the election was being held, draw from his pocket a bottle of “good old bourbon,” and ask the man to drink, inasmuch as it was chilly, and the dram-shops were closed in deference to Gov. Walker’s request.
Mr. Davis and his Pro-slavery confederates may not be aware of the fact that we know that on Sunday, the day prior to the election, they in a caucus held in Wyandott, determined that their challengers should not challenge any one, however little they might be entitled to vote if they were known to be “all right on the goose.” All others were to be challenged.
Was not this securing a fair election with a vengeance!
INDIA.
ITS HISTORY.
India, the land of spices and jewels, is now a scene of mutiny-of carnage and bloodshed. In the eventful drama of the age its people are enacting a part enlisting for them the attention of the civilized world, and adding a chapter to a most varied record. For more than twenty centuries their rich land stretched southward from the base of the Himelaya mountains and drained by the Indus and Gauges, has been a field upon which the triumphant armies of successive empires have displayed their prowess. To the domination of each in turn has the native population bowed in submission. About 2100 years ago Alexander the Great crossed the Indus with his all conquering army, and beyond it set the eastern limit to his empire. After the Grecians lost their prestige in the East, India was seized by the Parthians and Scythians. Mohammed followed in their wake, placing his Saracens in power and planting on the Ganges the religion of the Koran. The fierce Afghans superseded the Persians. The empire of Jenghis Khan next rose in its might and overshadowed the rule of the Afghans. Then followed the dominion of the Mogul empire fell to pieces of its own ponderous weight, and after its wreck there sprang up in India those principalities which existed when the British East India Company began its career.
THE BRITISH RULE.
It is about one hundred years since the British obtained an ascendancy in India by adroit strategy and valiant fighting. On the 23rd of June 1757, (???) Plassey, OLIVE, the English General, led an army of 3100 men of whom 900 only were Europeans, against the native army of 50,000 foot, 18,000 horse, and a train of artillery, and by this (???) match won the provinces of Bengal, Baliar, and Orissa, a triumph which (???) giving to the British the sceptre of India. The (???) is now divided into the (???) presidencies of Bengal, Bombay, and Madrass-Bengal embracing the northern districts and comprising itself with a third of India, with the populous cities, of Calcutts, Ailahabad, Delhi, etc. In this section the mutiny originated-at Delhi the uprising Sepoys have made an effectual stand against the decimated British army marched against them. The revolt has been attended with scenes of shocking barbarity. The most fiendish cruelties have been perpetuated by the natives. No mercy has been shown to the Europeans who have fallen into the hands of the exasperated Sepoys.
CAUSE OF THE MUTINY.
One hundred years ago Clyde introduced the system of organizing a native army and through its instrumentality part, made the conquest of India. In this system which preceded the establishment of the British rule there, we find the means which are now sapping that rule of its supremacy. The natives have been formed into regiments composed of companies offered principally by natives. They have been taught the use of all manner of fire-arms and drilled in the maneuvers of the field. That which is regarded the exciting cause of the mutiny was the introduction of a new kind of cartridge made of greased paper the use of which conflicted with the religious scruples of the Sepoys. While this was the ostensible cause we doubt not that other influences have long been at work preparing the mind of the natives for the crisis which was precipitated about six months ago. Restless spirits may have been active in kindling up the religious enthusiasm. A society called the “Dhurma Sabha” exists in Calcutta the avowed object of which is to defend the religious customs against encroachments by the Government. The agents of this may have sown the seeds of rebellion throughout the land. But whatever may have been the moving-cause the Natives are now enlisted in the mutiny through their religious feelings, the strongest that can actuate superstitious races, a fact which will make the contest a bloody and prolonged one if its results should not prove fatal to the British authority in those highly prized possessions. From the results up to the last account the tradition among the dusky inhabitants that the British rule would only continue a century, does seem to be approaching its verification and it may indeed be that the superstition in regard to the fatality of the Koh-i-noor, now sparkling in the crown of Victoria, will not be without the support of corresponding facts.
Free-State Meeting at Lecompton.
The Free-state people of Kanzas having determined to hold a meeting in Lecompton for the purpose of repudiating the action and agency of the bogus Constitutional Convention, the citizens from the several portions of the Territory to the number of five or six hundred assembled at that place on Monday the 10th instant.
Judge Schuyler was elected Chairman, Messrs, Root, Deitzler, Ritchie, Gilpatrick, Walker, Shore and Whitman, Vice Presidents, and Richard Realf and O.E. Learned, Secretaries.
Committee on Resolutions: William Hutchison, E.B. Whitman, G.F. Warren, G.W. Deitzler, J.B. Abbott, O.E. Learned, and Dr. J.P. Root.
During the absence of this committee Gen. LANE was called to the stand. Of his speech the special reporter of the Lawrence Republican says:
No report, official or otherwise, can do justice to the efforts of Gen. Lane. For thrilling pathos, for withering invective, for crushing argument, for sublime earnestness of purpose, his speech of yesterday, stands without a parallel in his history. Like an eagle he rested upon the crest of the difficult mountain-paths, and like an eagle he beat down, with one flap of his wing, the carrion crows that assailed him. Jim Lane the fighter is enough to scatter a panio through a legion of ruffians, but Jim Lane the orator is more an object of dread than was Cromwell to the infamous Long Parliament.
Wm. Hutchinson Chairman of Committee on Business, reported the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the right of the people to make their own laws and to elect their own rulers has become of a fundamental maxim with all Democratic governments, that has constituted the cohesive power by which they have been held in existence since the days of the Roman Confederation: And whereas, all alliances and compacts, and amenability between the people and their rulers are nugatory and inoperative whenever and wherever there is a violation of this supreme inherent right. And whereas, Congress passed a law for the establishment of a free government in this Territory, with a formal provision that the people be left free to make their own laws and regulate their institutions in their own way: And whereas, under that net this Territory has been peopled with an unparalleled rapidity by a population highly sensitive to their civil right: And whereas, at the first election under this law of Congress for a Territorial Legislature, the most shameless and high-handed frauds were submitted by an invading force from Missouri, with arms and munitions of war, thereby disfranchising the true citizen and supplanting freedom by an arbitrary usurption that would have disgraced the (???): And whereas, (???) that hour there has been no recognized authoritative government in Kanzas, but bloody tyrannizes have been (???) by the Federal Government to high prices in power, to trample down our rights, while a pretended government, the fondling of a “miserable minority,” has been struggling against a tide of numbers with barely a sickly existence. And whereas, one of the offspring of this usurped Government has been known as a Constitution of (???), to act for the people of Kanzas in that most (???) duty of framing a Constitution for their mutual price and security, which must reflect the will of a majority, or else it bear upon its surface the evidence of its pure (???). And since it is believed and fully proved, that more than seven-eighths of the (???) and settlers in Kanzas are zealously opposed to both the men and the (???) combined in this Convention.
By the people now at Lecompton assembled be it
Resolved, That we utterly and forever protest against the ascribing of any body of men at Lecompton on this day or hereafter, claiming the right to act as our agents in making a Constitution for our common observance; that we delegate to no finite power the high responsibility of Representatives, unless the people are first the free instruments of their election; And that it be the duty of “the whole people to currently repudiate and (???) upon them so (???) the professed work of that (???) Convention and to set at nought whatever may emigrate from them.
Resolved, That said Constitutional Convention, representing in no (???) the opinions of the people of the Territory, as shown by the recent popular vote, will, if they have any respect for themselves, any regard to the will of the people of this Territory, or any concern for the peace of the entire country; if they value the opinions of the civilized world or the impartial decisions of posterity, immediately, on the assembling of a quorum, adjourn sine die.
Resolved, That the late frauds in the election at Oxford, Kickapoo, and other places for the purpose of overcoming the potency of a sovereign people at the ballot-box are unparalleled in enormity, and impudence, and that all who are implicated in them deserve the lasting exceration of every friend of our common country.
Resolved, That we recommend the appointment of a Committee to investigate and expose the recent frauds upon the elective franchise and to provide for the summary punishment of all who are implicated therein.
The Resolutions were adopted by acclamation after which the meeting adjourned sine die.
The Pacific Rail Road.
Persons destined to Kanzas are interested in knowing that this road is in operation to Jefferson City. Two trains of cars start from St. Louis daily and reach Jefferson City, connecting there with the Lightning Line U.S. Mail Steamers which ascend the Missouri river, to Leavenworth City in Kanzas, and Weston in Missouri. Travelers will find the Pacific Railroad a very agreeable route to pass over, and by taking it they will save time.
The O. & M. Rail Road.
Cincinnati and St. Louis are, by the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, connected by a direct route. The whole distance is made without a change of cars, and the whole meaning time is less than by other routes which are more circuitons, and on which there are the delays of changing cars. All who are coming to Kanzas by the way of Cincinnati will find it advantageous to ticket through by the O. & M. Road.
The Tropic.
The Lightning steamer Tropic, Capt. MARSHALL, we regret to record, was sunk near Waverly, Mo., a week ago. A number of lives were lost, how many we do not know. The boat is a total loss we believe. The tropic will be missed in the line. She was a favorite boat.-Her officers, by their attentive courtesy, had won for her an enviable reputation. If her place is supplied by another boat we hope it will be under the charge of the officers of the Tropic.
The plug-ugly Constitutional Convention met on Monday and Tuesday without a quorum, and spent their time in unavailing denunciations of Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton for throwing out the Oxford returns. Sheriff Jones called upon Stanton for his certificate, and, on being refused, drew his bowie knife on the Secretary. Stanton, is said, now goes armed for his own protection.-Lawrence Republican.
Ohio Election.
The election in Ohio is very close. It probably will require the official vote to decide the matter. The following telegraphic dispatch was published in the St. Louis dailies on the 17th inst:
“COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 16, 9 P.M.
“The Journal of this afternoon makes Chase 65 ahead, with Paulding and Meigs counties to hear from. The official vote changes the reported majorities in the aggregate in favor of Chase. Morgan county gives 400 majority for Chase, Noble county gives 41 for Chase, and not 100 for Payne. It may be a little more. The vote is so close that it will require the official vote to decide the result. The Legislature is probably Democratic.”
Paulding and Meigs counties in 1855 gave Chase 700 majority.
How “Americans Rule America” in Baltimore, the Bloody City.
The Baltimore Sun, of the 15th, says editorially:
THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.-By courtesy we use the term “election,” but we suppose the record of American suffrage in the whole history of our country contains nothing so humiliating as the transactions which took place yesterday, under the nominal pretense of an “election.” To call the thing a “farce” is to sp ort with the most vicious and demoralized political condition of this community. Moreover, disorder, riot and bloodshed have again disgraced the name of our city, and we stand in the record of yesterday’s hideous proceedings a blot upon theasoutcheon of popular liberty-a very mockery of political independence.
It is unnecessary to refer to any particular facts, or to tell the story of the day. It is related with emphasis in the returns of the polls of the several (???), which sufficiently indicate that many thousands of the people have been virtually disfranchised, and that no election has taken place. A certain number of men will be returned as elected members of the first branch of the city council, and as such will take their seats, but under circumstances which few will be disposed to vaunt or even contemplate.
In presenting the returns we make no comparison with former elections. The things is too ludicrous. It is enough to say that in Baltimore, which gave a vote last year for President of 26, 771, yesterday only 14, 667 were cast, of which the American candidates received 11, 878, and the Democratic 2, 730.
[That tolls at once what party is in the wrong-which depends upon mob force, whose hands are stained with blood to whom belongs the infinite infamy of rendering one of the greatest of American cities a place of illrepute and plunging it from prosperity to ruin.]
PROCLAMATION
OF
Gov. Walker and Sec. Stanton
IN REGARD TO
THE OXFORD FRAUDS.
To the People of Kanzas
LECOMPTON, Oct. 19, 1857,
By the 32nd Section of the Organic Act establishing the territorial government, it is provided in reference to the election of a delegate to Congress, that the person having the greatest number of votes shall be declared by the Governor to be duly elected, and a certificate thereof shall be given accordingly.”
By the 16th Section of the act of the Territorial Legislature of Kanzas, entitled, “an act to regulate elections,” it is made the duty of the Secretary to examine the returns in the presence of the Governor, and to “give the person having the highest number of votes in their respective districts, certificates of their election to the Legislative Assembly.”
Under those two provisions of the laws prevailing in this territory, tho recent election has presented for the join consideration of the Governor and Secretary, a question of the gravest importance, not only to our own people, but also to those of the whole Union. This question arises upon the extraordinary returns made from the precinct of Oxford in the county of Johnson. What purport to be the returns made of the election held at that precinct on the 5th and 6th inst., have been received by the Secretary, containing sixteen hundred and twenty-eight names of pretended voters or nearly one-half the number given in the whole Representative District. The disposition to be made of this supposed vote is rendered all important by the fact, that the political character of the Legislative Assembly will be controlled by the addition of three Councilmen and eight Representatives to the strength of one party or the other, according to the adoption or rejection of the returns in question.
In point of fact, it is well known, that even the whole county of Johnson, comprising, as it does, part of an Indian reserve, which, upon examination of the law, we find is not yet subject to settlement or pre-emption, can give no such vote as that which is represented to have been polled at this inconsiderable precinct of Oxford. But while this unofficial knowledge, well established and universal as it may be, could not become the ground of decision and action upon election returns, in themselves regular and authentic, the legitimate effect of an apparent enormity, such as that in question, would necessarily be to induce a close examination of the paper presented, and to require for its acceptance a perfect compliance with all the essential provisions of the law. Such an examination of this document, conscientiously and impartially made, has brought us to the conclusion that the returns from Oxford precinct in Johnson County must be wholly rejected for the following reasons:
1st. It does not appear on the face of the document presented to us, or in any other manner, that tho Judges of Election took the oath imperatively required by the statute, to secure the “impartial discharge of their duties according to law.”
2nd. It does not appear that the paper prosecuted to us was one of the two original poll-books kept at the election, as required by law; but, on the contrary, it does appear, from unmistakable internal evidence, that the paper is either a copy of some other document, or has been made up for the occasion, and is not the genuine record of the votes taken at the election. The law requires one of the poll books to be returned to the Secretary, the other to be deposited with the Clerk of the Board of Commissioners of the proper County.
3d. As the vote of each elector was to be recorded for each one of the twenty-two candidates, and in more than a hundred cases, for twenty-five, and that by a vova voce vote, it was a physical impossibility that the number of votes pretended to have been taken on the second day, being more than fifteen hundred, with the name of the voter written, and each of twenty-two candidates properly designated, could have been taken and recorded within the time prescribed by law.
4th. It is an extraordinary fact, tending to throw distrust upon the whole proceeding, that of the sixteen hundred and twenty-eight votes only one is given to the delegate elect to Congress; and only one hundred and twenty-four are recorded as having been cast for the local candidates of the township. Influenced by these considerations, and impressed with the grave responsibility resting upon us in regard to the fairness of the election and its freedom from all fraud susceptible of detection and prevention within the scope of our duties, we deemed it essential to truth and justice that we should ascertain every fact calculated to refute or confirm the conclusions deprived from the face of the papers. Accordingly we went to the precinct of Oxford, (which is a village with six houses, including stores, and without a tavern,) and ascertained from the citizens of the vicinity, and especially those of the handsome adjacent village of New Santa Fe in Missouri, (separated only by a street, and containing about twenty houses,) that altogether not more than one-tenth the number of persons represented to have voted, were present on the two days of the election, much the smaller number, not exceeding thirty or forty, being present on the last day, when more than fifteen hundred votes are represented as having been given. The people of Oxford, as well as those of the neighboring village of Santa Fe were astounded at the magnitude of the return; and all persons of all parties in both places, treated the whole affair with the alleged result until several days after it had occurred.
In the course of our journey to and from Oxford, we passed over much the larger part of the County of Johnson, until we became thoroughly satisfied that there is no population in the whole county from which more than one-third the vote of that single precinct could have been given. We learned that some very few persons, having cabins on the Reserve in Johnson County, and claiming a residence therein, though generally absent, had voted at some of the precincts in that County; but we are convinced that but a very inconsiderable number not reaching, we believe, one (???) Missourians of other persons having the admitted right to vote, did (???) attempt to execute that right, any where within that county. The people of Missouri cannot be justly charged with any interference in the late election, not are they in any degree complicated with the evidently fraudulent returns, made from the precinct of Oxford. These returns, beyond all doubt, are simulated and fictitious.
Under these circumstances, we do not feel embarrassed by any technical difficulty, as to our right to go behind the returns. We hold the returns themselves to be defective in form and in substance, and therefore inadmissible. We go behind them and inquire into the facts, only for the purpose of ascertaining whether by these valid objections to the mere returns, our rejection of them will have the effect of defeating the will of the people, sought to be fairly expressed at the polls. In the event of such consequences, we might hesitate to reject a vote upon any defect of form, however essential in law. But in the present case, we feel ourselves bound to adhere to the very letter of the law, in order to defeat a gross and palpable fraud. The consideration that our own party, by this decision, will lose the majority in the Legislative Assembly, does not make our duty in the promises less solemn and imperative. The elective franchise would be utterly valueless, and free government itself would receive a deadly blow, if so great an outrage as this could be shielded under the cover of mere forms and technicalities. We cannot consent, in any manner, to give the sanction of our respective official positions to such a transaction. Nor can we feel justified to relieve ourselves of the proper responsibility of our offices, in a case where there is no valid return, by submitting the question to the Legislative Assembly, and in that very act, giving the parties that might claim to be chosen by this spurious vote, the power to decide upon their own selection.
In view of the condition of affairs in Kanzas for several years past, of the efforts so long made to put in operation here a revolutionary government, and of the fact that this effort was suspended under the belief that the political difficulties of this Territory might at length be fairly adjusted at the polls; if that adjustment should now be defeated, and the people deprived of their rightful power under the laws of Congress, by fictitious returns of votes never given, it is our solemn conviction, that the pacification of Kanzas, through the exercise of the elective franchise would become impracticable, and that civil war would immediately be recommended in this Territory, extending, we fear, to adjacent states, and subjecting the government to he Union to imminent peril.
Because, therefore, the paper now under examination is not one of the original poll books, by law required to be returned, and from the absence of the oath prescribed by the territorial statutes for the judge of election, the returns being thus clearly invalid, and as we believe fictitious and simulated, we have under the circumstances no alternative but to reject the whole return from the Oxford precinct, and to give the certificates to those who appear to have been elected by virtue of the other regular returns.

Governor of Kanzas Territory-
FRED. P. STANTON,
Secretary.
A Handsome Tribute.
President BUCHANAN recently sent a gold watch to Capt. A. JOHNSON who acted so noble a part in rescuing persons from the wreck of the Central America. The watch is of rare beauty and intrinsic value, with a massive gold chain and key attached to to it. The following is the inscription on its inner case:
“The President of the United States to Capt. A. Johnson, Norwegian Barque Ellen for his humane, prompt, zealous, and successful efforts in rescuing persons from the wreck of the steamer ‘Central America,’ 1857.”
WASHINGTON Oct 15th.-The Secretary of the Interior has directed instructions to be issued to the Superintendent of Indian affairs at St. Louis, and other agents to proceed forthwith to remove all intruders upon the Deleware Indians and their reserves in Kanzas, as the War department has been requested to issue the necessary instructions to the commanding officers of the troops of that Territory. It is expected that they will be prepared to co-operate with the agents of Indian affairs by the time that their services will become necessary. Secretary Thompson says that the integrity of the Indian Territory must be preserved at all hazards.
STATE BANK OF OHIO.-We clip the following from the Tribune:
A letter from the President of the State Bank of Ohio, desired by his correspondent in this city to day is one an encouraging character. He says the banks have been arranged with the Ohio Trust Company, by taking bonds and mortgages for their balancee, about $800,000. This locks up that amount, but is not equal to their undivided profits. There are 36 branches with $4,100,000 capital, $1,100,000 undivided profits, and $10,000,000 bills receivable. “The Banks,” the President remarks, “are in a more comfortable situation than when the Trust Company’s failure occurred, the loans are on active commercial paper, based, chiefly on the export of trade of the state with no railroad acceptances, or bonds or stocks.
AN ORIGINAL ARGUMENT.-In glancing over the (???) upon the subject of Slavery in the Virginia Legislature in 1832, we notice an argument employed by a Mr. BRUCE, which the Pro-slavery Democracy have singularly omitted to urge in support of their favorite institution. Mr. Bruce, like the modern Democracy, was in favor of non-intervention in regard to slavery, but the reason he assigned for (???) unique. He argued that slavery so exhausted the soil that white labor could not be obtained to cultivate it, and that Virginia must have slave labor or none. This is a reason why we at the North should not interfere with slavery, that we do not remember to (???) soon urged by any of its modern advocates. Can not some of our (???) friends elaborate the argument of Mr. Bruce? It has solid truth (???) and “truth is mighty and will provail.” We have had copious arguments and the divinity the (???) and social excellence of slavery, but the great truth involved is (???).

FIRE & WATER PROOF
PATENT
MASTIC ROOFING
ON CANVASS.
THIS Roofing is applicable to steep or flat Roofs, Steam Boat Decks, Rail Road Cars, Foundries, &c., &c. It is Fire-Proof, will not crack or run, will wear under foot, and is adapted to Roofs of every description. It can be put on over old shingles, tin and metal roofs without removing the same.
This roofing is desirable on account of its low cost, easy application, great durability, and exact adaptation to any climate, by its expansion and contraction through the influence of heat and cold. It will unquestionably by far excell any Roofing now in use, Tin and Slate not excepted.
The undersigned have purchased the full and exclusive right of manufacturing and vending the above roofing for the Territory of Kanzas, and are now prepared to execute all orders with promptness and dispatch.
Town and County rights for sale.

HONEY, THE BEST OF HONEY.
I HAVE a valuable receipt for making Honey,
which I will send to any person upon receipt
of 50 cents. We make and use it in our family
at half the cost, and consider it as good as the
best article of genuine bee made hone, “from
which it cannot be told.” Any person who will
make and sell it, can clear from two to three dollars
per day. It only requires four articles to
make it, and they can be had at any store for 50
cents. Every family may have this delightful
luxury, for any lady can make it in fifteen minutes
at any time. Three cent postage stams as
good as money. Address Dr. J.P. Creager,

the time, and the clothes are very white and
clean, and last much longer, for they are not
worn out by rubbing as by the old way of washing
by machines, &c. The articles used cost but
little, and are easy to obtain. I mail the recipt
to order, postage paid, upon recipt of 50 cents,
three cent postage stams as good as money.

3000 SHARES SOLD IN THREE
WEEKS!
A Map of Kanzas, and a
Share in Saratoga City!
Consisting of FIVE LOTS, with a chance of
drawing the Principal Prize, valued at:
$10,000!
For One Dollar!
The subscribers, at the solicitation of many
Shareholders, are induced to alter their original plan for disposing of Saratoga City, and have adopted the following, viz: Saratoga City has been divided into 500 Shares, each share consisting of Five Lots. There are THREE SPRINGS, the largest Sixty by Seventy-five feet. These Springs will have TEN ACRES of Land connected with them, and will constitute the principal prize, being valued at $10,000. These Springs are worth a fortune to the person that draws them. The water that discharges from them would supply a large city, and is pure, cold and sparkling, and possesses mineral properties which must render this city the Saratoga of Kanzas. These Springs constitute one of the Five Hundred Shares.
There will be 10,000 Certificates issued, and each holder of a Certificate will draw a Map of Kanzas, worth One Dollar, or one of the Five Hundred Shares in Saratoga City!
LOCATION OF SARATOGA CITY.
Saratoga City is located in Calhoun Co., in Sec. 22, Township 9, Range 15-about 14 miles North of Topeka, 16 from Tecumseh, 25 from Lecompton and 35 from Lawrence; is adjoining the Pottawatomie Reservation (30 miles square,) which will soon be open for pre-emption.
10,000 MAPS!
We are happy to state that one of our most respectable Land Agency firms are engaged in getting up the most authentic Map of Kanzas that has ever been produced, and that we have Engaged 10,000 Copies for the first-edition! We can now supply a Beautiful Colored Sectional Map of Kanzas to those who do not wish to wait until one Map is published.
PLAN SUGGESTED FOR THE DISTRIBUTION.
It has been suggested by a shareholder, that 10,000 Envelopes be procured, and into 9,500 of these a slip of paper, or card be inserted, with the words “This Card entitles the holder to a Map of Kanzas, which can be obtained by forwarding this Card to the Committee appointed to receive it,” and into 500 of the Envelopes a slip or card be inserted, with the words “This Card entitles the holder to a Share in Saratoga City, which can be obtained by forwarding this Card to the Committee appointed to receive it.” The Envelopes be sealed up, and be precisely alike-then to be indiscriminately mixed together and numbered from No. 1 to No. 10,000, and those persons holding Certificates, by forwarding them to the Committee appointed to receive them, will receive the numbered Envelope which corresponds with the number of the Certificate which they forwarded to the Committee, and which will exhibit to them the result. This plan will probably be adopted, as it will guard against imposition.
THE DISTRIBUTIOIN
Will take place as soon as the Maps are ready, about the 15th of November.
LAND AND LAND WARRANTS taken in exchange for Shares, and a liberal discount allowed those who purchase by the quantity.
AGENTS WANTED in every city and town in the Territory. Inducements will be offered which will warrant attention to this enterprise.
Address GEO. W. GRAY & CO., Lawrence, K.T., enclosing One Dollar, and a Share will be dispatched by mail, and any information given that may be required. One Share $1, Six Shares $5, Twelve Shares $10.
Newspapers throughout the Territory, and in the States, are requested to publish the above three months, and send their bills to us for settlement. 15 G.W.G. & CO.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1857-8.
THE TRIBUNE was first issued as a Daily on the 10th of April, 1841. Its Weekly edition was commenced in September of the same year; it’s Semi-Weekly in May, 1845. It was the first daily in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at a low price, and it has kept at least even with the foremost of its rivals in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise, which the great extension of Railroads, and the establishment of the Telegraph system have crowded into these last sixteen eventful years.-No larger journal is afforded at so low a price in any quarter of the world; none in America, no matter at what price issued, pays an equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual labor. It employs correspondents regularly in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most important points on this continent, with a liberal staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding full, early and accurate Information as the first object of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has been and will be conducted, extending and perfecting its correspondence so fast as the increase of its patronage will justify the expense. Should the current attempt to connect the Old with the New World by the magnetic wire prove successful, we shall very soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves, and, we trust, a corresponding advantage to our readers, publish each morning a synopsis of the preceding day’s occurrences throughout Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with regular reports of the markets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects of hither Europe.-With a good atlas beside him and his daily paper on his fireside table, the American farmer or artizan with a day’s ride of the city may then study each evening the doings of the civilized world throughout the day preceding; and it seems hardly possible that any who can read; but especially one who has children to educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure and profit of a daily journal. The same is true measureably of those who live further inland; though, where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or even a Weekly paper, may be sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Political Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellectual, Moral, Social, and Physical well-being of mankind, dogmatic Theology alond excepted.-Its leading idea is the honoring of honest, useful Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the consequent elevation of the Laboring Class in knowledge, virtue and general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its aspects, to Intemperance, in whatever form or degree with its accessories, to War save in the defence of the Country and Liberty against actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring to see Production extended and encouraged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating Tariff-a policy which tends to increase the price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing that of Breat to the artisan, by reducing the distance across which their respective prodcuats are exchanged and, of course, reducing the cost of their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all its phases, and every form and device of National covetousness, with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo and win the attention of our countrymen from projects of agrandizement abroad to enterprises of development and beneficence at home, foremost among which we rank a Railroad through the heart of our Territory to connect the waters of the Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this life are not yet fairly distributed, and that no one ready to work should ever famish in unwilling idleness, it lends an open ear to every suggestion of Social improvement which does not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war upon that natural right of every one to whatever he has fairly produced or honestly acquired, whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos and night of barbarism and universal squalor.-With profound consciousness that idlers, drunkards, (???) and profligates can never be other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it bears alofs the great truth that Prevention is better than Punishment-that the child trained up in the way he should go, will rarely in after years desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and Crime-that a true Education-Religious, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectual-is the most effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes of our race. Recognizing in the most degraded specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden out, we have charity for all forms of evil but those which seek personal advantage through the debasement of our fellow-beings. The champion of no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we would fain be the inter peacer to each other of men’s better impulses and aspirations, the harbinger of general concord between Labor and Capital, and among those whom circumstances or misapprehensions have thrown into unnatural antagonism. A contemporary once observed that he never knew a hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not bate the Tribune, nor a generous, large-souted, kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did not like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer attestation.
The circulation of the Tribune is at this time as follows:-Daily, 32,000 copies; Weekly, 176, 800 copies; Semi-Weekly, 16,000 copies; California and Europian, 6,000 copies; Total, 230,800 copies. That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe to be exceeded by no other newspaper published in the world; that of the Daily falls behind that of some of our contemporaries. Had our hostility to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would now be more iterative; but our patronage generally we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to diminish our rural circulation through the influence of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it eagerly, others under political constraint; while a large number, we are happy, for the sake of Human Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at all. Still, we have been made to feel the heavy hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands of subscribers in consequence. Pretexts to which no individual in his private capacity would have stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage of our papers within reach of their subscribers and rightful owners, and their retention in the Post-Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters have been schooled by rival journals-several of them living on their self-proclaimed ability to serve as an antidote to the Tribune-as to their political duty to promote at our expense the dissemination of gazettes of adverse politics. We shall outlive this warfare, but we do not affect indifference to it. In the open field of discussion, we fear nothing; but in the tens of thousands of rural neighborhoods, we have already lost some patrons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor and Free Soil throughout the land to take care that this official warfare on our circulation be not prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no traveling agents, for we will not consent to have the public harassed with the solicitations of strangers in our behalf. We strike the name of each subscriber to our Weekly or Semi-Weekly from our books so soon as his term has expired, for we will not haunt our patrons with duns for (???) which they may say they never intended to incur, for papers which perhaps they never read; we rely for the renewal of our club subscriptions solely on the volunteered efforts of those who, liking our paper, believe its influence salutary and worthy to be extended; and thus for our reliance has been justified, as we trust it may continue to be.

FOR 1857.
A NEW VOLUME.
In commencing a new year of the Eclectic Magazine, it needs hardly to be said that its sphere and its general course are to remain unchanged. Its positioning the field of letters has become so well defined, and it supplies a want in the periodical literature of the country so marked and wide-spread, that no essential deviation from its chosen course is either desirable or wise.
For thirteen years the Eclectic has found favor with the public, and high commendation from the press, for the sterling worth and permanent value of its pages. Its design and purpose is to present to its readers the choice treasure of thought, and the ablest productions of European writers, as they appear in the Reviews and Periodicals of Great Britain and the Continent.
These sources furnish many of the richest fruits of the literary activity of the age-eloquent forms of thought, taste and expression. These will adorn the pages of the Eclectic. This plan of selecting the choicest articles form the noble family of European Periodicals, furnishes an amount of literary reading which could not be obtained in its original form, except at an exorbitant cost; and the excellence and attractiveness of which no one magazine could hope to equal. It is literary gold without dross-mental nutriment for youth or age, without moral poison.
Its combined excellences and permanent value give it a just claim to a place in every well-selected public and private library. It is the best Magazine published.
A very large portion of the contents of the Eclectic is derived from Periodicals not reprinted in this country. Four English Quarterlies only, out of twelve, and only two Monthlies out of twenty-five, are reprinted in the United States. The Eclectic is enriched from all these sources.
The twelve costly and beautiful embellishments, portraits of eminent persons, or other engravings, by any just estimate, add much to its value. In this view, the cost of the letter-press is reduced to about one dollar a volume, of nearly six hundred pages; or nearly eighteen hundred pages in the three volumes. So much choice literature and art is cheat at so small a price.
TERMS:
The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the first of every month. Each number has 144 large octavo pages, on fine paper, neatly stitched in green covers. Twelve numbers, three vols., with titles and indexes. Twelve embellishments, or more and nearly 1800 pages in a year. Price, $5,00 in advance, or $6,00 at the end of the year.
The Eclectic will be promptly sent by mail to any address, as ordered. The postage is only three cents a number, prepaid, at the office of delivery. Any post-master is authorized by law to order the work, and remit the subscription free of charge, to the subscriber. Address,

HARPER’S WEEKLY.
A JOURNAL OF CIVILIZATION.
Neither labor nor expense will be spared to make it the best FAMILY NEWSPAPER in the world-one whose cheerful and genial character will render it a welcome visitor to every household, while its constant devotion to the principles of right and justice shall win the approbation of the wise and the good. Its object will be to act forth sound views on political, social, and moral questions; to diffuse useful information, and to cultivate the graces and amenities of life.
HARPER’S WEEKLY will contain a full and impartial summary of the political, social, religious, commercial, and literary news of the day. It will chronicle the leading movements of the age, record the inventions of the genius, the discoveries of science, and the creations of art. It will, in a word, aim to present an accurate and complete picture of the age in which we live.
It will also give a due share of attention to the taste, the immagination, and the feelings. Its regular contents will embrace tales, incidents of travel and adventure, sketches of character and social life, and essays upon art and morals.
The publishers have made arrangements with the best American writers who will contribute to the various departments of the paper. The large space at their disposal will enable the Conductors to avail themselves of ample selections from the best and most healthful selections of the old world. The first number will contain the commencement of Mr. Thackery’s New Seriel Tale the publication of which, from early sheets purchased of the author, will be continued from week to week, until its conclusion. In addition to this they will keep a vigilent eye upon the issues of the English, French, and German Periodical press, the best productions of which will be transferred to the paper under their charge.
Harper’s Weekly, is not intended, in any way, to supersede or take the place of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine. Each periodical confine itself to its own proper sphere, and no portion of the contents of the one will appear in the other.
Harper’s Weekly will contain sixteen pages of the size of the London Illustrated news, each number comprising as much matter as an ordinary duodecimo volume. It will be printed in a form and upon suitable paper for binding; and as the pages will be electrotyped, the back numbers can always be supplied, so that subscribers can be able at any time to complete their files. At the close of each volume, neat and appropriate covers will be prepared for the convenience of those who wish to bind the paper.

The Missouri Democrat is a Western Journal, devoted to the interests of the West, and published at St. Louis, the center of the Valley of the Mississippi, the focus of news, politics, literature, commerce and manufactures. Its facilities for giving the latest intelligence in each and all of these respects, are unrivalled, and its patrons may be assured that no expense will be spared to make it the paper of the people. Every department is filled with talented and reliable conductors. Its corps of correspondents in Washington, New York, New Orleans, Kanzas, Nebraska, New Mexico and Utah, number some of the ablest writers in the country. Contributions relating to the antiquities, the soils, the mineral wealth, the agricultural resources, and the local news of the neighboring States will always be found in its columns. The markets of the chief cities of the West, the statistics of production and shipment, and the trade of our Railroads will each be carefully noticed. The latest information by telegraph from every quarter will be furnished; the details of foreign steamships will be given in full; reviews of new publications will be sedulously supplied; and, in brief, everything that can afford entertainment to the reader or knowledge to the thinker, will be presented to its subscribers.
LATEST KANZAS NEWS.
Kanzas has now become a point of much importance and attraction to the whole country.-For more than a year past the Missouri Democrat has furnished the newspaper press of the Union with the most authentic as well as well as the earliest intelligence from that quarter. It has now five reporters in various parts of the Territory, and special attention will be devoted to obtain reliable accounts of every event of interest that may transpire there. Those who wish to keep posted in regard to Kanzas affairs, the politics, settlement, immigration, and all that concerns the progress of opinions that quarter, can find no better means of obtaining them than through the columns of this paper.
POLITICAL POSITION.
The Missouri Democrat is, as its name imports, Democratic in principle, conservative in sentiment, opposed to the violence and outrages that have disgraced the Territories, and zealously in favor of the right of the people of each locality to control their domestic affairs without interference from those residing in other States.

worn out by rubbing as by the old way of washing
by machines, &c. The articles used cost but
little, and are easy to obtain. I mail the recipt

RUSSELL’S
FIRE & WATER PROOF
PATENT
MASTIC ROOFING
ON CANVASS.
THIS Roofing is applicable to steep or flat Roofs, Steam Boat Decks, Rail Road Cars, Foundries, &c., &c. It is Fire-Proof, will not crack or run, will wear under foot, and is adapted to Roofs of every description. It can be put on over old shingles, tin and metal roofs without removing the same.
This roofing is desirable on account of its low cost, easy application, great durability, and exact adaptation to any climate, by its expansion and contraction through the influence of heat and cold. It will unquestionably by far excell any Roofing now in use, Tin and Slate not excepted.
The undersigned have purchased the full and exclusive right of manufacturing and vending the above roofing for the Territory of Kanzas, and are now prepared to execute all orders with promptness and dispatch.
Town and County rights for sale.
For further particulars inquire of the subscribers. SHEPHERD, HENRY & CO.
