A EOLAND FOE AJT OLIVEE.
Brighaai Young recently sent a saucy report
to the Department, in reference to his administration
of Indian affaire in Utah. The Commissioner
of Indian Affaire has replied to him
in very decided language. We quote a few
p&razrapbs:
You have been denouncing this Government,
and threatening an armed resistance to
tte authorises sent out by the President. loot
ii, unless ycu and your coadjutors are most
rT' <s:v m'srepresented, and yonr language misA

usor.g you is all that is necessary to prompt
r u to an overt act of treason. It could never
tare been intended, when the appropriations
were made by Congress, that the money should
he used in arousing savages to war against our
own citizens, or to enable a subordinate officer
to carry ou treasonable practices against his
own Government. The rnle of this office is to
withheld annuities from the Indians whenever
t: ey place themselves in a hostile or antagonistic
attitude towards the Government; and I
^ ,ow of no reason why the same rule should
rut be applied to you at this time; but as the
appropriation has been exhausted, it is not ne(.e.l^ry
to consider that question now.
1'uu say, 'the troops must be kept away,
t r it i? a prevalent fact, that wherever there
rj-e the most of these, we may expect to find the
. < i?e- amount of hostile Indians, and the
;ras security for persons and property.' The
;r ops are under the direction of the President,
d it i.) fair to presume that he would not send
'J,em 10 I tah Territory unless there was a nec*.
ji < v for so doing; and if it be true that wber
lt toe greatest number of troops are, there
sre to be found the greatest number of hostile
Indians, it arises from the fact that the troops
i-ete-aary at such places to preserve the
nf.il In thp Tnrliana in oilKia^li/.n
Th?re is ho reason why persons and property
k ?\j 1 be any the less secure in the neighborl
?)d of 'he troops, nor is there any reason why
^actable citizens should object to their presence.
If if is your intention to preserve peace,
the troops will not interfere with you ; but if
you intend otherwise, then it is necessary that
the t-oops should be on the ground to enforce it.
' I is tnuch to be regretted that such a state
of ;.:l'?irs should exist, and it is always with
great reluctance that we arrive at the conclusion
that American citizens should at any time
r. ijuir*- the strong arm of power to compel obedit
nee to the laws, or that a subordinate officer
should n ) far forget his duty as to use his official
position to injure one portion of his fellow
citizens, ar-1 to alienate another portion from
loyal;v to their Government. But when convinced
of the existence of such facts, the Chief
Kr-cutive Lss no alternative left but to crush
cut rebellion, and for this purpose all the pow
era of the Government are placed under his
control."
A Tit.t at thk Bonnets.?The last number
of the Wtat minster Review contains a lively article
upon the dre98 of modern women. It is,
upon the whole, a scathing criticism of the at.
: the ladies of the vear 1857. Here is a
-.peciraen of its criticism upon bonnetd:
"Glancing at the fashions for 1857, what do
we see 7 On the head is a something, the purp_>.-<
oi which it would be difficult to discover
by reason ; a structure of silk or straw, adorn?-.i
with Bowers, ribbon, aad lace, crowded on
he angle of the jaws and the nape of the neck,
and with its fore part just reaching the crown
of J.e head. We have Mr. Spurgeon's authory
for the -'flee* to the eye of the spectator in
front. IS-MTig advised to preach against the
prevailing folly in head-gear, he paused as he
s ood upon the platform, looked around him,
and said: *1 have been rt quested to rebuke
>h bcnets of the day, but., upon my word, I
do not see any.' This is the bonnet of 1857,
pinned to the hoad in some troublesome way,
leaving the face exposed in a manner which
or e need not be a Turkish parent to disapprove,
and c luring the hair to be powdered with dust,
.v.. i die head and face to be alternately heated
a*, i chilled by sun and wind, so that the physicians
are easily believed, when they declare
that ca.-'-s of eye disease, of toothache, and
neuralgic pains of the head and face, are bey<
nd ail precedent in their practice. For many
months pv, English womeD, and the ladies of
America, where the extremes rf heat and cold
.re greater than with us, have been subjecting
themselves to the inconveuiences of going out
bareheaded, with the added annoyance of an
apparatus which heats and worries the back of
the neck. The broad-brimmed hats are a piece
o: jfood sense in the midst of a mass of folly.
J'aii'h, and other satirists, may quiz the hat as
i o-v.ce tor locking young; but the ridicule
touches only the elderly wparera, aud leaves the
hut ^ p. a hed. Some quizzical specimens,
plumed and hertbboned, aud so turned up ar.d
:?r ;n] ubout as to serve no more useful pur- a
than the prevailing bonnet, may be seen
here and there: but the simple original hat,
* th a briin which shades the eyes, and a crown
*hh protects the head, is worthy of all approVion,
while it is exceedingly becoming to
j ung wearers. As to older people?if they
nibly decline wearing the bonnet which exloses
their gray hair to the very crown, and
. that the hat is too jaunty?why do they
i recur to the indigenous, serviceable, be-t.
;il', unobjectionable English straw-bonnet
ot all limes? "
The courage of the Westminster is worthy of
. m -: .'ion, but we fear that it did not compute
the chances of discomfiture before it offered
battle with the women of our times.
Kansas News.
The ;'t V. fraud by which an alien and odious
Government is sought to be permanently imt
1 on the People of Kansas, approaches its
ti V.e. The bogus Constitutional Convention
'1 -ad i's labors cn Saturday, the 7th instant,
having completed its Stats Constitution, and
?1- idtd not to siiltinil it to the People. There is
. pr-t^nce of submitting the question of Slavery
<>r No Slavery by itself; but the Slavery clause
HO submitted may be rejected by an overwhelm
' u .'i. iut S' xr?-rr Will Pfintlnnfl tO ariof in
H ' w,v) J ' v J ? ?..--x. " x"a,l,v IU
Kar.aas, i! this Constitution is her supreme law.
N i provision is made in it for abolishing or expelling
S'avery, aud the bare rejection of the
committee's article would not effect such expulsion.
On the contrary, by expressly and
luily confirming and perpetuating the ' laws"
of the bogus Legislature, the Convention has
provided for the perpetuation of Slavery at all
vents. The pretence of submission is a fraud,
and the refusal to submit the Constitution itself
is an outrage, fitly perfecting the frauds whereof
Kansas has been for three year3 the victim.
But the bogus Convention did not stop here.
It actually constituted a Provisional Govern ient
for Kansas, whereof its President, U 3Surveyor
General John Calhoun, is made Governor.
This bold move is intended to superede
G rcrnor Walker and Secretary Stanton
on the one hand, and the new Territorial Legis
cure on the other. Thus the victory just won
by the F.-ee S ate men is to be nullified, and
the p^wer cnce more snatched from their hands
by usurpation, and vested in the master spirits
Border Ruffianism. The calculation evidently
is, to rush this Constitution through oar
new Democ ratic Congress forthwith, and thus
turn Mr. Parrott out of his seat as Delegate,
ut,?i have a Stare election under the auspices
of the ufw Provisional Government, which will
provide lYie judges, superintend the polls, and
<- uut the votes. In that case, Oxford, Kickspoo,
and McGee county, may be relied on to
outdo all their past achievements, and to have
admiring competitors all along t,be Missouri
line.
Kansaa never seemed in greater peril than
now, jet we do not doubt her ultimate triumph.
But there is doubtless to be a rush made to
put this ofl'sprirg of villainy and usurpation
through Congress at once, and it is indispeosa*
hie that the People of the free States should
forthwith be made fully acquainted with its
origin, character, and purpose. The chief danger
lies in the fact, that a majority of the journal*,
especially those of the great cities, habitually
conceal the important occurrences from
day to day, transpiring in Kansas, where they
c annot b? distorted to the prejudice of the Free
State p ?rty. Not one single Democratic or
National American paper issued throughout the
free Spates has a regular correspondent in
Kansas, or even pretends to give full accounts
ot wfcat takes place there. This systematic
eupprt tsion ia, even more than the simultaneous
distortion, treason to the cause of Free Labor.
It reveals a guilty consciousness that what is
called Democracy in this quarter is only to be
upheld by emoiherii g the uruth. And for this
we see no present remedy.?N. T. Tribune.

FROM INDIA.
Assault by the English on Delhi?its Fall?the
Loss of Life.
The following telegram was recieved at the
Foreign Office (through the commissioners for
the affairs of India) on the 27th October, at
10 30 A. M.:
" The fall of Delhi.?Delhi was assaulted on
tKo mArninrr nf fiontflmKns 1 J-f V? *-? V? -
era part of the city taken. On the 16th, the
magazine was stormed; and on the 20th, the
whole city was occupied. The King and his
sonB escaped, disguised as women. The attack
on the 14th was made with four columns, one
of which, composed of the Cashmere Contingent,
was repulsed; the other column were !
successful. An entrance was first effected at
the Cashmere gate. An advance was then
made along the ramparts to the main bastion
and Cabul gate. The resis'ance was very obstinate,
and our loss was computed at six hundred
killed and wounded, including fifty officers."
The Storming of Delhi.
The Bombay Times has the following account
of th - attack on Delhi:
M Several batteries, armed with heavy guns,
were established in commanding positions within
a short distance from the city walls, so that
the bastions could be destroyed by our fire.
This was successfully accomplished, but with
the loss of two officers, Lieutenant Hildebrand,
of the artillery, and Lieutenant Bannerman, of
the Belooch battalion, who were killed. Having
thus established batteries in advanced pnsi- 1
tions, the bombardment of the city commenced, j
and the Cashmere and Moree bastions suffjred '
severely from our shot and shell. The enemy ;
replied Bmartly with grape and musketry, hut
our loss was inconsiderable, and our fire was
kept up with undiminished vigor. On the l'Olh '
and 11th of September, one or two sorties were i
made by the enemy, but w thout any result, |
notwithstanding the proximity of our batteries
to the walls. For two dnys longer, our artillery
continued to play on the city, until, on the 12th,
the Cashmere bastion and half the adjacent
curtain were in ruins. Preparations were now
made for the assault, and General Wilson, in
an order issued a few day previous, laid down
the line of conduct to be pursued by the troops.
No quarter was to be given to the mutineers,
but the women and phildren were to be spared.
On the 14?h of 3eptember, the assault was
made on the city, which was entered by a divis
ion of oar troops, who succeeded in effecting a
lodgment, and driving the enemy before them." '
The following telegraphic message gives par- *
ticulars of the sncoessful assault on Delhi:
" The assaalt took place yesterday morning, j
soon after daybreak, and the storming was en- j
tirely successful. We were soon in possession
of the end of the fort, with the Cashmere, Cabul,
and Moree gates, which we now hold, with
the church, college, and other large buildings,
near this one, in which the headquarters are.
Preparations are making for heavy batteries,
to knock the mutineers out of those parts of the
city in which they now are. Many of the city
people have come in for and received quarter;
Sepoys want to come, but not permitted."
The following extra of the Delhi Gazette
gives farther details of the storming operations
on the 14th:
" Delhi was stormed this morning, and the
British forces are in possession of the line of
defences from the Water bastion to the Cabul
gate, inclcding the Cashmere gate and bastion,
and the Moree gate and bastion, the English
church, Skinner's house, the College, and the
grounds about. Preparations are being made
to tarn the gans from the captured bastions on
the city, ana to bring np other guns and mortars
to commanding points.
"The enemy for the present retain the Lahore
and other bastions, the palace, Selimghur.
and the chief part of the city; but our hold of
the portion that has been secured appears firm,
and the fall of the remainder is to be expected.
" Sept. IS, 9 A. M?We continue to hold
tho city from the College to the Cabul gate,
and the enemy holds the magaxine, which we
are now shelling. The palace is also being
shelled. Many of the mutineers had fled yesterday.
44 a P. J(.?All well. We have made a breach
in the magazine, ?nd storm it at dawn. The
enemy's musketry fire is much reduced.
44 Sept. 16, 7 A. M.?The following message
has just been received from Delhi:
44 4 The magazine was stormed at daylight by
the 61st foot, Belooch battalion, and part of
Wilde's regiment. We had only a few wounded,
and the enemy about forty killed. One
hundred and twenty-five guns were taken in the
magazine.'
44 Sept. If.?yhe latest message from Delhi
is up to 2 P. M. yesterday. Qur mortars continae
to play upon the palace from tbe magazine
enclosure. The enemy entirely abandoned
the Cishenfpnge battery, and we have
fonnd in it, in jooiiion, five IS pounder mortars,
making the total number of pieces of ordnance
taken, in i.nd before Delhi, upwards of
two hundred.
44 The battery ?,cross the river, opposite Kinghur,
is also repotted to have been abandoned
by the mutineers cho are in detached groups
fighting from the tops of houses; their organization
into regiments is fast being broken up."
Fro? i the London Timer
TJ?s Fall of Dell Aspect of Affairs in India.
The general tews from India hardly seems
to admit of anal-sis or discussion. Delhi, the
famous city and arsenal on which all thoughts
have been figed or months, has fallen, ana the :
rebellion of the tepoys has received its deathblow.
In presetce of this great event, eyets- '
thing else appea s small and trifling. Although

THE NATIONtbs
intelligence by the present mail is fuller
than usual, it seems dwarfed by the interest,
w lich attaches to this military exploit. Delhi j
w<s assaulted on the morning of the 14th of
September. The attack was made in four oolu
tine, of which one, composed of the Cashmere
contingent, sent to oar assistance by the late
Gholab Singh, was repulsed. The others, j <
b 'wever, were successful. An entrance was
effected atHhe Cashmere gate, to the north of
the city. An advance was made along the
ramparts to the Cabal gate, on the northwest.
E 're, we learn that the resistance of the muti
leers was obstinate, and our own loss severe,
i! was not until the 16th that the magazine was
at armed. On the 20th, oar troops took entire i
p session of the city. '
Oar lo-8 was 600 men, including 50 officers. *
C f the latter, the names of six arc given an 1
hiving been killed in the assault., and four in a
tie operations preceding it. The slaughter 1
a Hong the mutineers was no doubt very great, t
i< large number escaped over the bridge, and ?
a song them the King of Delhi and his two r
s >n8, disguised in women's clothes. It is to be 1
hoped that by the next mail we shall hear that
t iese three miserable chiefs of the rebellion
bive been taken aud executed.
The loss to our troops has been indeed so- j
vare, but not more so than might be expected Q
f. om th? magnitude of the place, the dcspera fi
ton of the resistance, and the length of time fc
OVer which the fighting extended. The casual
t es among the officers have been particularly 2
heavy. We will not attempt to condole with v
tlose who are bereaved on this sad occasion.
Suffice it to say, that their sons, or brothers, or J
husbands, have fallen in accomplishing one e
<f the most brilliant exploits of our history, \
ft nd in flavinCT thai** nnnnfrtr feAm Ktr foe
greatest calamity which has threatened it within a
cur time. The effects of the capture of Delhi t
*- ill be, no doubt, immediate and complete.
The neck of the rebellion is indeed broken, g
'i'he capital towards which the mutineers flock- ?
from every quarter, the rendezvous to which
taey were evidently directed to repair, the chief j
city of the Mohammedan dynasty, and the resi- (]
< ence of the mock king who had ruled in trembling
state during the past four months, is now
in the power of the foreign race whose expulsion
was the end and aim of this dark plot, the \
roots of which have struck so deep, and the t
seed of which has been so long sown. To the s
utmost extremities of India will the news be
boine, how, after standing their ground for e
months against an overwhelming array of na- v
tivn forces, the dauntless islanders assaulted a t
city containing two or three times their number t
of enemies, and carried it after a stout resist- c
ance, destroying or driving out th8 army which g
held it, and sending the King to wander a fugitive
untikthe certain hour of retribution comes, f
the other news is of a checkered D&ture. g
First iii interest is the fate of Lucknow. With !
regard to this place and its brave garrisoD, we ?
are har py to say that the intelligence is most t
far-oral le. General Havelock crossed the Ganges
on the l&th of September, expecting to be \
joined almost immediately by Gen. Outram'e s
forces. Letters had been received from Luck- t
how,re >orting that the garrison was in excellent
Spirits,ymd had repnlseid an attack on the 5th j
of Sep- ;mber, with great loss to the assailants.
They I id provisions sufficient to last them to
Ootobf > 1st, by which day they were pretty sure to
befell ved by Generals Havelock and Outram. a
The p- obable safety of this garrison, and the c
woiuer and children it defends, will be received 1
with a* much pleasure as the more important
nefrs < f the fall of Delhi, and the continued t
qu'et < ' the Bombay and Madras Presidencies.
Su'?ce ,>e horrors of Cawnpore, the attention of i
every qe has been concentrated on Lucknow,
an<) if ^ny evil were to befall its defenders, all J
th< su cesses of our arms in other places would t
ha dly >eem to make amends.
Tht, ;all of Delhi, and the loss of the great
art em i there established, has so completely I
crushfe , the chances of the mutineers, that we
mf.y h-Jtr almost with indifference of the Bpora- s
die oQ^reaks which are reported from different 1
quart***. In Scinde, which is occupied by b
BnmbaW regiments, there have been attempts e
at/evo^l at Kurrachee on the seacoast, at Hy- 5
de aba the centre, and at Shikarpore on 5
thf.'nc>aS; towards the PuDjaub. At the two
latter ^^aces, the mutineers were artillery men, b
who especially predisposed to revolt? d
wletheV it be that they thiult that, without ar- /
til ery,Sre shall be powerless, or that they are
solicit^ J beyond all others by the enemy, who
know yie value of the arm. However, in each
caie disturbance was promptly suppress? d ;
and as-Scinde is an isolated region, and a wing o
of the 2>urth King's Own, arrived from Mauri- f
tius, 1 ad been dispatched to Kurrachee, we t
may hty>e that there is an end of apprehension f<
in tha. quarter. However, there can be no
doubt ^iat the whole of Central India for more d
than 4'ihousand miles?in fact, from Joudpore ti
on the. west to Assam on the east?was, at the
time o*: the fall of Delhi, in a very disturbed f(
state, r tl
" Ki^pootana, which contains the moat war- I
like rage in India, with perhaps the exception o
of the 3'kha, was full of rebels. The Joudpore a

giving another instance of a force raised and n
paid bv ourselves torning agaiust us, while the V
private troops of the native Princes are stanch h
to our ^ause. General Lawrence had, however, g

Bombay Government, to enable Gen. Roberts

may well believe that the Gwalior
re^Hk^H think better of the matter, and that t)
thl^R^ the capital and the flight of the king ^
willl^ich them a little discretion." ^
Tht^e is, in fact, no intelligence which would t|
warraij the supposition that Agra has been ^
really endangered. The last news speaks only ?
of thta death of Mr. Colvin, the Lieutenant ?
Governor of the Northwest Provinces, which ^
took pjace on the 0th of September. Still pro- T
Ceedinf eastward, we have the telegraphic com- q
muuic ?tion with Benares cut oft*, as is supposed,
by the mutineers of Ramghur, in Behar. The
Dinap ?re mutineers had gone up the country c
to N&j ode, where they had persuaded the 50th
native infantry to mutiny. One of the dis- q
Batch* | speaks of Saugor and Jobbulpore, in c
uud. cuud, as being threatened by this gang,
Under ;he leadership of Koor Singh- The most n
paster (? point of the disturbance coincides with j
the extreme limit of the empire. Assam was
threaU-aed with an ontbreak ; CoL Hannay had
cntrei ?hed himself, and the Rajah had been ?
i pprebsnded.
Thi<i was the state of things when the troops p
</{ General Wilson and General Nicholson as- ^
faulted Delhi. What the effect of this great
rvent has been on the mutineers throughout 81
the country we shall only learn by succeeding "
in a i is. we may wen expect mat it win be tbe
signal for their dispersion, and that wben they p
find that the capital of Mohammedan India is in
oar hands, the mutinous corps will fall to pieces, *
Or turn to ravaging and pillaging the country *
in desultory hahds. With Delhi and Lucknow *
Recovered, with the Punjab safe, and with troops
arriving daily, we shall soon be able to dispose n
Of any Bands which may infest Central India.
?Qt it cannot be denied that the fall of Delhi 81
^as net b*ea an hour tpp ejrly. The prolonged n
Resistance of the rebels was, no doubt, begin king ^
to give new courage to the restless spirits all
^hrough 'the country. The disaffection of the ^
Bombay regiments in Scinde,the proposed march [j
if tjje Gwalior contingent on Agra, and of the
Dinapore rebels on Jabbulpore. show how dar- j?
ing the enemy had become. What else, indeed, '
could be expected? Here were nearly 100,000 j?
men in arms against us, or on the point of f*
yielding to the temptation ; and in the whole
country, from the months of the Indus to the 0
headwaters of the Burhampooter, were only a
fe'v weak detachments of European troops. a
Except before Delhi, there was not a column b
containing 2,000 effective men. It is, indeed, si
w indprfal that ocr people h^ve stood ifith firm- si
n<ss everywhere, and the sight has no doubt a
hi d its effect. Their heroism has not been lost, n
b> t it is evident that we eould no longer have S
tr tsted to it for keeping the enemy in awe. t<
Happily, from the 2Qth of September a n?w a
sUte of things commenced. a
All that has ^s yet been done has been with- a
out the aid of a single man direct from Eng- G

hat we have to fuar now is that these desperate
nen will form themselves into bands of robbers,

is wherever they can. Indeed, we must look
o see robbery, murder, and incendiarism, prevdeut
for many months to come. This is the

GENERAL SUMMARY.
The New York Tribune publishes a long record
of local Tiilianies and oriues, which trans
pired within twenty-four hours. Among other
revelations is that of ft young woman, Catharine
Chambers, who surrendered herself to the
officers of the law. She informed the offioer
who had her in charoa. that aha wee one of the
girls calling themselves 44 The Chain Gang."
She stated that the object of the gang was to
throw vitriol on obnoxious persons, occasionally
stab a person by way of amusement, and commit
other outrages. She told the officer that a
short time since she killed a child of hers by
stuffing cotton in its nostrils. The Chain Gang
held nightly meetings, and were consulted by
various persons who desired them to act for
them. She said that she lived in Cow Bay,
Five Points, where tbe gang met. An officer
was dispatched to huut the place, and ascertain
if there was any truth in the statement of the
g?l- . The
St. Panl Pioneer and Democrat of the
3d inst. claims to have heard from the Pembina
region, and reports seven hundred majority
tor Sibley, Democrat, for Governor, electing
him by two hundred and ninety majority. It
also claims three majority in the Senate, and
six in the House. The St. Paul Times says
there are not one hundred and ninety legal
voters in the Pembina region. This does uot
prove, however, that a return may not be sent
thence, giviug Sibley seven hundred majority,
or eleven hundred if nccsjsary. Sibley will
undoubtedly get the certificate.
The case of Mrs. Caroline Woodman, whose
release from the Flushing, Long Island, Lunatic
Asylum, on a writ of habeas corpus, has
ated so much noise, appears to be a prece dent
tor a number of similar cases. 8e!ah Squirts,
Esq. has applied to the Supreme Court of New
York, asking for a writ, commanding the keeper
of that institution for the release of Miss
Annie Bassett Smith, detained there on account
of alleged u moral insanity." The suit is
brought at the instance of her brother. The
lady has been an inmate of the Asylum for
seven years. Tbe case is likely to prove both
interesting and romantic.
One day last week, a merchant in Gardiner
offered to give a barrel of Hour to Rev. Charles
Blake, the Baptist minister in that city, provided
the young ladias would haul it to him. To
this they consented, and, haviDg obtained a
small pair of trucks, the flour was placed thereon,
and about forty young ladies took hold of
the ropes and drew the barrel about half a
mi 1ft- un firift nf tKa ofnnnoaf Killo Ir. ClrtmA'.Iaav
to the minister's house. The Gardiner Hand,
seeing what was going on, headed the procession,
and played some excellent music during
the haul. There was a large crowd to witness
the proceeding?, and a cabinet-maker brought
out a very handsome rocking chair, which he
fastened to the barrel, and let it go as an additional
present to the minister. Those Gardiner
girls are full of spunk, and are not to be put
down or bluffed off very easily.?Portland

Rev. C. S. Stewart, of the U. S. Navy, haviug
been " honored " with a three hours visit
with Louis Napoleon, writes home an account
of it, in which he is highly eulogistic of his Imperial
Highness. He was surprised, among
other agreeable surprises, at his " kindness of
heart." The New York Tribune, commenting
severely on this last specimen of toadyism, justly
observes that the Republicans butchered in
the streets of Paris, for daring to resist his
blocdy usurpation and stand by Liberty and
the Constitution, never attained a knowledge of
his " kindness of heart."
A new way has been devised in Rhode Island
for getting rid of troublesome tenants. A
landlord in Central Falls stuffed the chimney
of one of his houses with straw, to smoke the
tenant out. The tenant shortly after died, from
the effects of the smoking and fright.
Some inquiry has been made regarding the
definition and origin of the term " Broker."
Webster has immortalized the class by stating
with great pertinacity that " Broker is derived
from Broke; " a derivation no oue will have
the hardihood to dispute.

himself satisfied with the condnct of

The N. Y. and Erie and Williamsport and El
mira Railroad bridge, at Elmira, is nearly undermined
by the freshet. No trains can pass over
it. The New York and Erie Railroad track is
greatly damaged. All the bridges upon the
various streams in this vicinity have been carried
away, and no trains are running in any
direction. The water was now falling slowly.
The rain storm in the western part of the State
was the heaviest known for many years. It was
very destructive. On the Central Railroad several
culverts have been broken away, while the
numerous breaks on the canals have overflowed
the roads.
An important decision has lust been iriven
I t J
by the highest court in New York, upon the
right of ft railroad company to lay ita track on a
public street. A citizen of Syracuse sued the
Central Railroad Company for damages, for
having laid its track in front of hia property.
It was contended, in opposition to his claim,
that as it was a public street, and had been surrendered
to the public use by the owners of the
adjoining property, the company had a right to
build a railroad through it, inasmuch as this
was one mode by which the publie made use of
it. The Supreme Court decided in favor of
the railroad company ; but the Court of Appeals
has reversed this decision, deciding that the
dedication of land to the uses of the public as a
highway is net a dedication of it to the use of a
railroad company; and that, consequently, a
railroad cannot be built upon a highway, with>ut
compensation to the owners of the fee.
Fugitive slave cases are plentiful in Cincinnati.
The jury in the case of David Wait, inlicted
for harboring fugitive slaves, were unanle
to agree, and were discharged. On the
Llth instant, Mr. Million, owner of the slaves,
nade oath before the United States Com mislioner,

and arrest by their claimant and master,

Marshal Churchill, who took Mr. Putney into

(William Shaw, who was the principal witness
or the defence, s*ore out a warrant against
Million for committing willful perjury, in swear ng
positively to certaiu statements ou the trial

by the complainant that Million admited,
while the jury were out, that the negro

Th? Pumina a'
?? . ?vj/v?ii/u iv picTAu in oiearuea
county and other parts of Minnesota is positively
contradicted by the St. Paul Times of the 4th
instant. It says that the grasshoppers did destroy
most of the crops in portions of Stearnes
county. No necessity existed for calling for
aid outside of the county where the destruction
was visible, nor for going outside of the Territory.
The committee who did so was self-constituted,
and considerably more scared than
hurt. We quote: "We have never known
the crops of Minnesota to yield so plentiful a
harvest as during the past season. In the
Minnesota valley and in the sou'hern part of
the Territory our farmers speak in the moat
enthusiastic terms of the crops; and had not the
grasshoppers committed depredations in some
of the northern counties, we should have been
able to say, that never before had Minnesoiians
been better prepared to snpply themselves with
the necessaries of life than during the years
1857-'58. As it is, those who have been unfortunate
can easily be cared for by the resources
within our own reach. So do us the justice,
gentlemen of the press, to say that we are not
starving, but that we are in a smiling and
prosperous condition. aside from the general
cramp caused by the financial pressure."
The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, who seems to speak from the
card, writes of the forthcoming message thus :

first annual message to Congress, will take bold
ground on the currency question ; that he will
reaffirm the principles laid down so clearly in
his celebrated speech on the Independent
Treasury Bill. He believes that it was the intention
of the framers of the Constitution to
establish a hard money currency, and that the
action of Congress since has been a steady de
parture from that intention. It will be his object,
theu, to retrace the false steps taken, and
to bring the Government back to the true
ground.
" The issue will be made in the next Congress,
whether State banks have the constiiutional
power to issue circulating 4 promises to
pay.' There will be a large party to take the
negative of the argument, who will not, it is
said, yield until a decision has been given on
the question by the Supreme Court of the United
States. A general bankrupt law for the
banks will be presented for action. This will
provide a fixed legal course for putting into
liquidation insolveut banks all over the Union."
The trial of David Watt, of Adams county,
Ohio, for harboriug slaves, in violation of the
provisions of the Fugitive Slave Act, came up
before Judge Leavitt, in the U. 8. District
Court, Cincinnati, on the 10th. The indictment
charges Mr. Watt with unlawfully harboring
eight slaves?a man named Lewis, his wife,
and six children-^in September, 1856, and subsequently
aiding and abetting their escape to
Canada, the fugitives being claimed as the
property of Squire B. Million, of Rowan county,
Ky. The defence attempted to show that the
slaves were voluntarily sent into a free State by
their master, to avoid an execution for debt,
and that Mr. Wait only gave them such accommodation
at his house as he would have given
to any other traveller, and that he had no agency
in their being sent to Canada.
A meeting of the working men of Philadelphia
was held in Spring Garden, ou the 19th.
Resolutions advising the issue of four million
dollars of city warrants, to be legal currency
for the payment of debts due by or to the city,
were passed. Several speeches full of the
" pith and marrow of the times " were made.
Good order was preserved throughout.

i ne rrairie rarm.tr speass ot the production
of butter at the West, as a business destin
ed to become great and flourishing. Probablv
few Eastern folks have thought of this. We
get breadstuff's, pork, hams, See, from the
West, as the main source of supply, while the
butter we use is entirely Eastern. In view of
the immense prairies of the West, it is singular
that butter has not become a staple there
If attention is new directed to the subject by
newspapers and agricultural periodicals and
authorities of the West, we may probably ex
pect cheap butter from that quarter before
many years. The Farmer and the Chicago
Prees both admit that at present the prairie
butter must ba considered an inferior article;
but they attribute the deficiency in quality to
the lack of care in the business.
The Republic of Mexico is no more. Oscillating
between despotism and anarchy, distract
ed by internal feuds and the ambition of rival
leaders, subject continually to intestine wars,
conspiracies, and revolutions, it is of little
moment to the wretched inhabitants whether
her form of Government be republican or monarchical.
It has been a despotism continually
to the party happening to be in the minority.
The telegraph has already informed us that
President Comonfort has been clothed with the
dictatorial powers. The receut conspiracy in
the city ot Mexico, the incipient signs of revolt
throughout the Republic, and the rumors of a
Spanish invasion, are the causes leading to this
extraordinary vestment of power in the hands
of ono man.
If Comonfort shall succeed in quieting the
Republic, harmonizing the discordant elements,
and re-invigorating the resources of Mexico, it
will matter little whether he be President sim
ply, or Emperor. Should the reported invasion
by Spain take place, it will lead to important
consequences, and may involve our own Gov
eminent. It will present our filibustering ud
venturers a fine opportunity to league with tbe
Mexican cause in a raid upon Cuba?the result
of which may be the wresting of that coveted
island from the authority of Spain. It would
be virtually, for it would happen inevitably, its
annexation to ttie U mted States.
Proceedings in the case of Miss Anne Bassett
Smith, the young lady who has heen kept
in the Insane Asylum at Flushing, L. I., for
the past seven years, were commenced on the
10th, at the private residence of Judge Da vies,
in New Yoik.
One thousand two hundred and ten persons
were committed to the jail of Philadelphia
county during the month of October?six of
which were for murder, and one hundred and
thirty seven for robbery.
On Snnday, the 1st instant, the cotton factory

announcement, recently, that a woman, under
sentence of death, in prison in the province of
Jutland, (where it ia certain there has been no i

executed the next morning, not only plunged t
the whole neighboring con a try into commotion,
but attracted crowds from a great distance.
The condemned was a young woman named
Gertrude, daughter of John, a peasant, (in
Denmark peasants have no family names,) and
her crime was murdering her husband, who

she stood near the fatal block (i^Uuing with {

NEW YORK STILL REPUBLICAN.
Ai.bany, Nov. 14, 1857.
7b the Editor of the National Era:
The Republicans of New York have been
shamefully remiss in their duties. But they do
not admit that the State has yet receded from
ita position as a Republican State. The Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Senate, and Assembly,
are Republican. The Democrats have,
by a stolen march, obtained possession of a few
State offices heretofore held by the Know Nothings.
This is the sum and substance of the
boasted victory.
As to the popular vote, it should be remembered
that the Democratic vote is scarcely increased,
while the Republican vote has fallen
off to the extent of its former majority. The
cities of New York and Brooklyn give 32,000
Democratic majority. Albany, Buffalo, Troy,
and Rochester, some 10,000 more. The rural
districts give 30,000 Republican majority on
an exceedingly light vote.
The people in the country seemed to be paralyzed
by the u hard times " and " high taxes."
Farmers passing by the polls with their teams
could not be persuaded to stop and vote. Active
Republican electioneered had been silenced
by disaster in their business affairs, and men of
j wealth were soured by their enormous tax bills.
Perhaps the greatest force of all used by the
Democratic party was the Liquor interest. The
liquor dealers were actively in the field, with
plenty of money, working to defeat the Republican
party, while the Temperance men were
quieted by the unsatisfactory character of the
license law passed last winter.
These are some of the causes of our partial
defeat. A little energy, however, could easily
have overcome them all. b.
P. S.?I see that a correspondent calls in
question the statement of Judge Jay in relation
to the Church and Slavery. In this city there
are some thirty churches, and I think not over
five of them are Anti Slavery in their influence;
and my observation leads me to believe that a
I similar ratio holds irood in all the rtiisa at leant
in the State.

THE NAT l_0_ N A l ERA.
Washington, D. C.

JOHN Q. WB1TTIIR, OORREflPOlTtH NO RDTTOB.
PROSPECTUS OF THE~TWELFTH VOLUME,
BKGUTNING JANUARY 1, IMS.
The National Era is an uncompromising
opponent of Slavery and the Slave Power; an
advocate of personal, civil, and religions liberty,
without regard to race or creed; a foe to all
secret combinations to control the Ballot-Box,
whether under the direction of priests or lay
; tucuf wuu w oik uiroouico uinxiij ur milircvuj
countenancing proscription on account of birthplace
or religion ; a friend of Temperance, the
Homestead, and all reforms calculated to secure
to Labor its just consideration, recompense, and
political weight, and to Trade, its Natural Freedom,
in virtue of which every man has a right
to buy and sell in whatever market he pleases.
It regards Slavery, and the issues involved
in it, as forming the great Political Question of
the Day; taking the ground, that Slavery, from
its necessities, instincts, and habits, is perpetually
antagonistic to Freedom and Free Labor,
and unchangeably aggressive; that its workings
can be counteracted only by a permanent
system of measures; and it therefore has supported,
and will continue to support, the Republican
Party, so long as it shall be true to
Freedom, holding itself, however, perfectly independent,
at liberty to approve or condemn
whatever may accord or conflict with its oft
avowed principles.
It presents weekly a summary of General
News and Political Intelligence, keeps a record
of the Proceedings of Congress, and is the
repository of a large portion of the most important
speeches delivered in that body.
Its Foreign and Domestic Correspondence is
carefully provided for, and its Literary Miscellany,
chiefly original, being supplied by many
of the best writers of the country, makes it emphatically
a Paper for the Familt.
My subscribers have stood Wy the Era handsomely.
No paper can hoast warmer or more
steadfast friends. They have not forgotten
that, whatever the claims and merits of other
nunoPfl tKa V.nrn in tVo fa?f a m

was the pioneer to Freedom of the Press ir this
slaveholding District, and has been for eleven
years the only journal at the Beat of the Federal
Government, representing the sentiments
of the Free States on the great Question of the
Country, the only journal through which their
loyal representatives in Congress could find
voice aud vindication. They have not forgotten,
nor will they forget, that while papers engaged
in the same Cause elsewhere, have
strong local interests to rely upon, and the papers
printed here, opposed to our Cause, thrive
through the patronage of the Federal Government,
the Era is uniformly proscribed by that
Government, and its legal right to official advertisements
denied, while, so far from having
the support, it is constantly subjected to the
opposition, of strong local interests ; so that its
only dependence is upon those enlightened
friends of Freedom, all over the country, who
appreciate the necessity of maintaining such a
sentinel oa the outpost of Freedom.

THE GLOBE.
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF C0NGRE3S.
I publish now my annual Prospectuea of the Oarty
Globe, and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, 10
remind subscriber", and inform those who may dr.ue to
subscribe, that Cengress will meet on the first Monday of
next December, wlien I shall recommence publishing the.
above-r anted papers, l'tiry have b. ell publlshrd so Ion.;,
that mo?t pub'ic men know their character, and therefore
I deem it needless to give a minute account of tbe kind of
matter they will contain
The Daily Globe will contain a report of the Debates
in both branches of Congrt *>. as taken down by reporters
equal, at least, to any corps ol short-hand writers hi tbut
or in any oth. r country A majority a: them will, each,
be able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour,
while the average number of words spoken by fluent
s> eakers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred
words an h ur. When the debates of a day do not make
more than forty coiumns. they shall appear in the Daily
Globe ol the next morning, whteli wnl contain, also. .be
new* of the day. together wttli such editorial artiqies as
may be suggested b) passing events.

may require, to publish my r. minisretices *,f Uir public

leading nirn of other parties, 1.1 ' e'.jeve, be interesting
now. when partisan biUcrpe** has abated
In becoming the reporter of I he debates of Congress, I
deemed it proper 10 ?hj. that the Globe would never be a
partisan p^pe'r. This pledge will uol he lorfeiied by introducing
aa a eoinrihution to his'ory the political iraita
01 character which itn iiruisbed the public men of my
lime. Although 1 am, aim .11 tend 10 icinniii, a thorough
Democrat, I will never obtrude my piii.i iples in a way
o make litem obnoxious 10 any party liut in regard to
|.e'<<ona and events which go 10 make up history. I hopt10
make the Globe an honest memoir, and. with that
view. I sin resolved 10 speak independently 01ail panes
The Congressional Globe and Appendix sriU contain
a report (M all the Debates 111 Congress, (r risen by 1 he

any county, whether a rrprint, or primed from manuscript
