The Bstk discussion between Messrs. Cone and
Calhoun on the one part, and Mr. Peeples on the
ther, alluded to in my last as still pending, was
resnmed tbia morning with renewed ardor. As 1
uuders’and Mr. Peeples’ bill, it does not essentially
differ from bills for similar purposes, passed by
former Legislatures. It asks no speoial privileges
it contains no loose i pecificitKns to which ob
jection iB made. Mr. Coae’s war is not upor this
bill specially, but upon the present tytiem of
granting cbarlors. He becks to inaugurate a new
riyatem—more stringent than ha» hitherto prevail
ed, at d which, while allowirg b*nka a sufficient
sphere iu which to operate, will rr»ako that sphere
one of safety to themselves and the public. He
offers «n amendment to Mr. Peeples’ bill, which
tn ib es bill-holders lo obtain judgment at the
“first term,” after tho failure of tho baDk to meet
its demands— units* the President thereof will
swear, that he will bo better prepared for tr:al at
the next term j also, it makes the stockholder
(nny stockholder,) liable, alter judgment, fo*- tho
whole amount of bills which the bill-holder, ob
lainirg judgment, may have in his hands; leaving
tho stockholder to obtain redress from bis associ
ate stockholders. Mr. Calhoun also offers soma
amendments, whoso precise nature, I regret that I
cannot givo you at this moment j one feature iu
them is a c'ause, requiring all stockholders to be
oitixensof Georgia. Mi. Poeples conteuds ihrt
tho amendments proposed are onerous, and un
ju^t; that they do not give his batik breath*ng
room. While I cheerfully acquit, the Senator from
Clarke, of the remotest desire to fois an unsonne
corporation upon tho public, or to put it in the atti
tu le, either of a monopolist or a beneficiary, I i;m
compelled to think that Bank charters have been
hithovto much too easy of procurement; and I bail
With pleasure a m ve towards new torms therefor.
Wheth-r or not Judge Cone is too stringent in h : s
demands, is a question which your readers will,
each one, decide for himself. For my own part, I
am in favor cf herinetricaUy sealing every loop
hole and avenue for escape, from a rigid re* pooei
bility. I do not like a bank which has a centrifugal
bu r . no centripetal force ; and rm in favor, deci
dedly, of what may be called a Bank tether. It the
Atheus Bjuk be doomed lo fall a t-acnfice to a
new s>stem of granting charters, let it find its
o insolation in the surety, safety, aud protection
thereby secured to tho people at large. What the
issue of the debato will be, I cannot predict. It is
still pending, and there is no abatement of the
spirit flro with which it commenced. Mr.
Peeples, it U but just to say ; holds his hand vory
handsomely, despite the disparity of forces ; and
if he does not carry his point, it wi l not be owiDg
to any flagging or failure on his part, but to a
change, for the better, I think, in public senti
ment. Os the efforts on the other side, it iB hardly
necessary that I should say, that Messrs. C. and C.
fully sustain their past reputations. Pending the
discussion this morning, the SoDate repaired to
tho House, to take up the eleclio.is above men

The amendment was seconded by Mr. Dawson,

From the AaHonal Era of Nov. 15.
Tek Latk Elioii k —Ths excellent editorial in
’he ia"t ncm >er of tho Era* entitled .1 he Presi
(IsncyN waa prepared by a iriend, during our tem
porary ab -snee from the city. Its general positions
re souud, and ably maintained, but its incidental
as-umptions in elation to the impo'ency of Know
Nothiugism, aro not in accordance with tbev'ew
we hav-j constantly prtSiDted in the Era. Would
to H aven tha the miserable delusion had explo
led 1 Bat, our readers will recollect how coutiu
ually wo hav insisted that the one obstacle to un
ffective union of the free States on the Slavery
Issue, was this bigotttd org u'eation. Twelve
oaths ago we took this ground, and were mad
to suff r for it. We called upon A iti Slavery meu
to resist au Order, rounded upon principles, and
pursuing an of j c’, direc'.ly at w --r with their
wnGe scheme ot policy; and wo invoked the Anti
Slavery press to expose its true character.
For a time, we were left a’most alone and un
supported, and when reaction began to take place,
wo were coolly told by ti.oso who nad contributed
lotting to this reaction, iha‘ we had put ourselves
’o unnecessary trouble—had been righteous ovei
much—that Know No’hingism was a mere hum
ug, and, as they had foreseen, would explode
poutaneously, Ac., Ac. 8 nee theft), if we might
joiieve these wise people iheorgamxUiou has been
constantly exploding, until nothing is left of it.
It is time to tell theTrr.th, and meet its respon
sibilities. When the Know Nothing Convention
at Phiiedelphia divid’d, we did not anticipate th*-
ixlinction of the Order in the Free States. We
•uppose I that in the States where the Anti-Slave
y sent moot was dominant, thi Cou. oi 8 would
oncede something to it for tho sake of making it
* ributary to their power; aud in Biates where it
*as not, they would romaio iu full association
vith the National Ordar, bo that the result would
be, schism, but not exti otion- In fact, we ap
or hended that it would be more difficult than
ever for Anti Slavery men to deal with it. Were
ao right. What has been the history of the Order
in the Free States, from the time of the national
schism ? It may all be summed up in one sentenc
-unintermitting efort to perpetuate itself y either bg
making the Anti slavery sentiment trihutary, or by
breaking it down. .
This has been its history, ard in full view of the
fac’, 1 ow any real frieud ot Freedom Cvuli foi a
moment tolerate it, cr hesitate to denounce it as
ilie great obstacle to an effective Anti Slavery
union, passes our comprehension.
See how utterly it has paralysed the Anti
Nebraska movement in Indiana aud New Jersey,
and the almost inextricable embarrassments in
which it hes involved it in Pennsylvania 1 See
now uncertain it renders tbe state of things in
lowal And what a spectacle it has made of the
.rreat States of New York and Massachusetts ! Had
the Anti-Nebraska Movement, in other words, tbe
Anti Slavery Movement, been let alone, low?,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
ai d Massachusetts, have beeu Republican,
in fact and in name, and there could havo been no
toubt as to their position »n 1856. Can any one
now tell us where they will then stand ? Your
Union saving Know Nothirgism has conquered
some of them, j/iven tho rest vs Nebraska Demo

The Organisation of the Hou»«* of itepresenta-
Itvea.—A Test Question
Tho next Congress will be composed of what is
termed the hard and soft democrats, the Know
Nothing or Americans, tho whigs, the abolitionists
or republicans, und perhnos a ft w impracticables
or vagrants. Its organization will be a tost which
will show the assimilat s o*i of the respective mem
bers to the two radical ex reraea of these various,
parties. Those extremes are, on th r : one side, tho
strict noninterventionistc — hose who look upon
the slavery question as having, in fact, been set
tled by the constitution—those who advocate
popular sovereignty, who believe that the people
directly interested in slavery aro the only proper
parties to decide the ques’ion of its existence or
non existence in the States aud in the Territories
—those, in truth, who lot k upon tho agitation ot
the subject as a mere trick of trading, gambling
politicians On the other Bide are tho olack re
publican abol tionists, who OHter the field as bit
ter enemies ot that institution, as revilers of those
who sustain it, aud in avowed hostility to all laws
and constitutions ’hrouth whose instrumentalities
it is perpetuated. They make an issue—the* form
a party, thr y declare war upon the question ot
American slavery, with a single purpose of dos
troyiug it. They declare it to be “derogatory
from the rights ot hum n nature; and that no hu
mftu power can subvert those rights.” This is tho
soul of the olack republican league as announced
by Mr. Seward at Buffalo.
Now it is obvious that within the extremes is to
be found the ot er paitlo.-. The organization of
.he House of Representatives will briDg them oat*
It will be the crucible to try their metal, the che
mical analysis of their constituent parts. The
Americans, the softs and the whigs, thussurroan
ded by the national mon in one direction and by
the abolitionists in the other, each striving for
the masterey, - ill be compelled lo chose between
them. The Know Nothings, who at Philadelphia,
adhered to the twelfth section, it is clearly under
stood, will promptly take ground against the re
publicans ; and it is not a »y to see what ground
they can take except tbe one occupied by those
who are atrictiy noninterventionists
We give the bases in extena), upon which the
adherents of the twelfth s-ection intend to bagui
ded in the organization of the House of Represen
tativos. It is a e’ear ana explicit declaration, and
coming as it does from the great body ot the claps
of Americans who constitute in fact the soul of that
party, we see no reason to doubt its adop\ion by
their representatives in Congress and by the na
tional men of all parties.

If a sufficient number of national Americans
cannot be a gambled to effect an organization up

sentiment of the country—which drives the agita

if they would edict their purposes even partially—
which secures non intervention, maintains popu

of the republic, is sure to meet the cordial support
of tbe national democrats and whigs. It is the
only conceivable basis upon which the Honse can

Astonishing Telegraphic mp ov**ments. —A New
Telegraph Company
Soveral weeks ago, in an article relative to the
high rates of toll charged by two of the Southern
telegraphic companies, we casually hinted at the
probability of new teiogrephic inventions, and
formation of new telegraphic companies whic 1 '
would grow out of the increased pn fl s of tele
graphic lines. Although at that timo we had some
slight foundation for the remark, yet wo had not
the most distant idea that the projsots which wero
then just begun lobe thought of would bo soon be
brought to maturity. We now learn, however,
that since that artic e was written, there has been
formed in this city a now telegraphic company,
composed ot some of the staunchest business men
of the country, who propone to themselves the
task of eurirely revolution*)* ng the w; ole tele
graphic business of this cot tinont. To perform
this Herouiean feat, it has several advantage
which many of the existing companies have net,
namely, ample ca?h means, large enterprise, an
appreciation of the wants ot the public, aud thi
solo ownership of the patent for this country of
the most wonderful iu-truraent for telegraphic
purposes vouted. We allude to the Electro
Magnetic Printing Telegraph, inveu ed by David
E. Hughes, of Kentucky.
Most ot our readers will, perhaps, recollect the
description given in the Herald a tew months ugw
of the Hughes instrument. Since that doscrip
rion was published, one of these instruments has
been in Now York, where its capabilities won
tuily tested in preseuce of numerous competent
j jdges. We should hardly dare to give publicity
to the statements of the wonderful powers of this
machine, as manifested in their preseuce, oid we
not know that the persons making them are onri
tied to the fullest credence, Its mod prominent
point* of excellence arc: reliability, economy,
?paed and accuracy. In these respects, it is so far
anead of any maohiue now in use, that a compari
sou with them is out of the question. It will print
as we are told, from three to five hundred lettors,
or from fifty to one hundred words in a minute,
without the possibility of error. It will send two
messages simnitanoousij, in opposite directions,
over the same wire. It works with the most per
feet secrecy—that is, it will send a ommunicition
from the point of departure, d’rect to its destina
tiou, without the possibility of any way office on
the route receiving a copy, txcopting at the will cf
the sender. This is a feat which no other instru
ment now in use can perform; and one, the ad
vautages of which must be apparent to every in
dividual who is at all conversaut w th telegraph c
matters. It is very simple in i s operation. Any
per on who knows a lett r of the alphabet when
he sees it can write as correctly with this instru
ment as the most experienced operat >r; ail that is
requisite to insure absolute correctness, being thai
the copy shall in tne first instance be written plain
ly and correctly.
The machine verifies itself—that is, at each revo
lotion the operator can tell, by means of an unor
ring test in nis instrument, whether it is in uniton
or rot with the instrument with which it is com
municating in a distant city. Bit its most won
derful fen*, and that which will test the readers’
credulity the severest is its power to start into
operation a similar machine in a distant offic°,
without the help or even presence of an operator,
and compel it to vrite out whatever messages i
ohoos'iß to B'-nd in the same perfect matiuor in
which they flrßt started on their transit. Thus,
for instance, an opera’or at Washington may, at
any time, lock up his office and goto his meals, or
his bod if ue chooses, aud on his return he may
find on his desk a uits-age, perhaps from N. York
or New Orleans, all fairly printed out and ready
to be enveloped and sent to his address. These
are some of the most prominent characteristic* ot
Mr. Hughes’ instrument. There are others, such
as its economy in the use of working material, its
capability of ope r atiug in all poa ib:e states of th/!
atmosphere, and its admirable compactness and
simplicity construction, to which we have only
spao to allude.
The new company|to which we hsve ca’i* d at
tention, as the first step in their operations, have
secured the absolute paieut of the Hughes machine
for the whole United States, at a cost of between
ono and two hu i tred dollars. A nurn
ber of these now being ruauufat tured
by an irg nioua meci ai.ic, cnl t-om. :A them, we
unders’fccd, wi.l scon b - r a iy •« he put in opera
tion. TlKir next step. *© told, will be the
teasing of all the dree ine» l ?.een Niw York
and Nova Scoria. Nego- * m ’ bis d’r .ctiot
are, we are assured, already rta.'ly completed, and
the new company will probably assume the man
agement of those l nes about the first of January
ensuing. Wnen the spring opens, new hues o.
the most substantial and perfect construction will,
we have reason to balieve, be built to the South
and West, so that eventually the owners of the
Hughes patent will have a network of wires radia
tiDg in all directions from New York toeve»y
prominent business place in the Union. W hen all
the plans es tne company are lu iy perf. oted, th*
public wid witness a revolution in the telegraphic
business. Celerity, reliability, cheapness, will, wt
hope, be the motto under the i.ew dispensation
With these there will, of course, be a very rapid
increase in the amount of telegraphic business;
and, if the redaction in toils every reaches the
point now in contemplation by the new company,
Uncle Sam’s mail bags will eventually be lett en
urely to the newspapers, and to such tender of
confldentirl correspondence as will not admit o
he supervision of a third person.”— Aew Fori

A Supposed Diamond. —Readers of the newspa
pers will probably remember an item that went
the rounds of the press some two months Bince, to
the effect that a diamond of great value had been
found in this State. Its habitat was fixed some
where in Lancaster oounty, if we remember aright.
The owner of this gem, some weeks s nee, sopped
in this city s day or two, and from him we learned
some fee s that are of general iniere t. The gem
m.s been tested by s distinguished chemist and
mineralogist of Philadelphia, the result of whose
examination is now before us. He says:
“I have tested this gem by every es-entialreqoi
sit*, snd with the aid of t e b- st scientific work
on mineralogy in England. Mineralogy teacbe
me that all diamond- require to be ex: 0.-ed to the

light and exhibit color to any extern. This mas
sivegem, I have witnessed both light and color ot
considerable beauty, although not exposed, I ap
ptehesd, five minutes to the sun’s rays. This
Gem of the World,’ it is expected, will ce exhib
ted throughout the United States prior to its being
taken to England for that purpose. Its weighi
while in the rough skin is about four pounds troy
In taking off its coa% it will ce re need nearly one

I The Foreign l£allaiuiet,t i'aies.
Wo pub :sh oelow, for tne information of our
readers, two letters of the Atlornoy General of the
L nijed States which have been recently qrto
commented upou by .the English aud Ame
ncan newspapers. They erarvdy the instructions
given by Attorney General Cushing to the United
States District Attorney at Fhi'arelphia in regard
to the prosecution of foreign agents for the infringe
ment of our neutrality aws, by induciug men to
proceed to Canada with the obj »ct ot en isting in a
fore gu legion for service in the Crimea. We con
less that wo do not perceive that there was any
necessity for incorporating iu the letters so full an
exposition ot the views and feelings of this Gov
ernmeut upou the matters then-iu reterred to.
But wo respectfully submit that as they were mere
•y suggestions from the highest law officer of the
Government to a subordinate officer of his depart
mout, and were not addressed to tho British Gov
ernment or any of its officers, they are by no
means properly cognizable by that Government
itio “demands ot public redress and satisfac ion*’
which are slated in hese letter-* to have beeu ad
dressed to the British Government were doubtless
tree from irritating expressions, as we learn b>
the papers last received that they wero prompth
met in an amicable spirit. We think it well for
both sides first to understand each other before
ndu'g ng in an undue amount of indignation.—

Mr. Cushing to J. C. Van Dyke , Esq.
Attorney General’s Office, Sept. 12.
Sir: In reply to letter of me 10th inst, oi
ho sutj ict of the indictments pei ding against
oortons charged with recruiting lor tno militia
ervico of Groat Britain, 1 hnve the honor to make
'he fodowiug observations:
Mr. MeKoou has been advised of the desirable
ness ot conferring with you j. ersona'.ly, either b\
mms-elt or his assistai t, in regard to uew evidence
to which ho may have access, and which may bo
usatulto you.
I suggest the expediency of trying only a part c f
t e caees now, especially if you fail to convict iu
some loading case.
Bat the most important consideration is this :
This Government has, of course, addressed to
r .hat of Great Britain such demands of public ro
dross and satisfaction in tho promises as tho na
tional honor requiros. Bat tho Government of
Groat Br.tuiu, with extraordinary inattention to
ho gravo aspecs of its acts, namely, tho flagrant
violation ot our sovereign right involved in them,
ha 3 supposed it a sufficient justification of what it
Mas done to reply that it gave instructions io its
gouts so to proceed as not to infringe cur muni
o pal ia**s; and it quotes the remarks of Judge
Kai-e in support of tne dea that it has succeeded
i n this purpose. It may bo ao. J udge Kaue is mi
pright and intelligent j ldge, aud will pronounce
ho law ns it is, without fear or favor. Bat if the
British Government has, by ingonious contrivan
ces, succeeded in sheltering its agents from con
dciion as malefactors, it has iu so doiug doub ed
ho magnitude of the national wrong inflicted ou
tho United States.
This government has done its duty of internal
administration iu prosecuting tho individuals eu
.aged in these ach». If they are acquitted, by a
leliborato undertaking of the British Government
not only as a nation, to violate our sovereigi
rights as a nation, but also to vade our municipal
aws—and that undertaking shall be consummated
°y *| a agents in the United States—when all this
mall have been judicially ascertained, tho Presi
dent will then have beto-e him the elements of
decision a t > what international action it bee me©
die United States to adopt in so gravo a matter.
1 a a, very respect:ully, C. Cushing.
Attorney General’s Of fioe, Sept. 7.
Sir: I desire to make auotuer suggestion in ro
gv.rd to tue triul of parties charged with recruiting
soldiers iu the United States for the service of the
Brilis i Government.
It is known that instructions on this sobject
wore given by that government lo ita offioera in
the United Stat.s. Wo are told by Lord Ciaren
don that those officers had “ stringent instruo
tious” so to proceed es not to vioiale the muni
c pal 'aw—that is, to violate its spirit, but not
«eitor. If so, the instructions themselves violate
• he sovereign rights of the Uuitod Statos.
But, in tho moan lime, every Consul of Great
Britain in the United Staton, is by tho avowal oJ
nis Government, subject to the just suspicion of
breach of law ; while apparently, he must have
disobeyed his own Govornm nt, or, in obeying it,
have abused his consular functions by tho violu
•on of his international duly to the United
Slates.
In these circumstances it is deemed highly De
cenary that the British Consul at Philadelphia, or
any other officer of the British Government bhall
not be suffered to interior© in the trials, as he at
tempted to do on n previous occasion; that no let
or of his bo read except iu tho duo form of ovi
d)Dce; and that if hu bavo anything to say, he
may bo fully cross examined by the prosecution.
I* is ch ar that ho has no right, by any rule of
public law, or of international comity, to bo heard
n the case by tho Court otherwise thaa as a wit
ness, whether enforced or voinuteer.
I have the honor to be, very respootfully,
C. Cushing.
The Chinese Revolution.
Rev. Mr. Roborts, American Missionary to
China, who is now cn a visit to this country,
writes an interesting letter to the Now York Jour
nal of Commerce in regard to the revolution in
hinn. OI the Courts of the reigning and rebel
Emperors ho says :
“This (the Court of Pekin) consistsof six Boards
of Control and ihe Emperor who is heud over all,
•n i a vast number of officers, governors, and
other officers under bis spociai appointment. In
its naturo this Government is patriarchal, the Em
peror being considered the father of the nation,
and oach officer as the lather of the peo le u der
his control. The new Court at Nankin is<riff«jr
out, consisting of six Kings, denominated tho
K ug oi the North and the King of tlie South, tht
Kiug of the East and the King <i the - West, the
Assisting King, undTaepiug Warg himself. This
is his title, winch, translated into English, me ins
tho King of Peace. While the other kings cousti
tuto the structure of the Court, tho latter caps the
climax, and henoe legitimately becomes the ao
k iowledged head over all; but rather iu a frater
nal sense, estoeming the other kings equal with
himself, and calling them brolhon 1 This Court,
t erolore, so far as developed, is essentially a
royal fraternity.
These kings all concur in destroying idols, in
obeying the Ten Comr audments, and in worship
ti g tho ono true and living God, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, though with some errors, for the want
ot infraction. They have published the Scrip
tures—Dr. Gutzlaff’a version—without note <-r
comment, and are reported to have adopted them
as their text book in their tohools. They invito 1
Mr. Robert* to the capital to instruct them more
lully in Christian religion; aud ho attempted to
go, but was stopped by tho blockade ot tho Im
perialists. On his return to China, which wi 1
« c-ur eoon, Mr. Roberts intends to renew his
. tfjrts to reach Nankin. Tea-ping Wang was at
Canton with him for two mouths in 1817 learning
the first principles of Christianity.
Os their politic 1 career the writer remarks that
it is truly wonderful. “They came up from
among the people simply a* common citizens,
without auy pretensions to noble blood. Similar
to Elijah’s cloud, no bigger than a min’s band,
ucy nave increased, and multiplied, and spread
until the whole Chinese heavens are beclouded by
heir influence.” But, alter this cruel war, Mr.
Roberts expects greater things than have yet oc
curroa. He attributes he present agitatiou to the
breakii g up by the English war of the sluggish
calms which existed iu China twenty y ars ego.
It was through that instrumentality that China has
been opened, the gospel preached, commerce en
larged, > nd the nation benefited.
Os the prospects of tho rebellion, and what will
be He results, if successful Mr. Robert 3 saye:
“1. What are the prospects of its success t As to
the best premises wo o»u now lay down, wo are
under tho necessity ot reasoning ourselves to tho
conclusion from general principles. Hence, as
Tae ping Wang aud his party came up to their
present elevation when the Imperial Treasury an 1
forces were in full strength, unexhausted, how
much more may we reasonably expect them now
to advunce to consummation when tne old Gov
ernment is growing weaker and weaker and her
resources diminishing daily? Again, the whole
country is full ot local rebellions. These, though
not directly connected with Tae-ping Wang, yet
affiliate in their predilections, and intend to unite
with him when opportunity offe s. As they have
all rebelled against tho same Emperor, they all
sympathize with each other, and look to Tap ping
Wang as the King over them all. Hence, all local
rebellions (and tho country is full of them) are
naturally weakening the Imperial Government,
aud causing the now dynasty to become compara
tively stronger. But this is not tho strength oftho
argument on which we depend— that is, in tho wi 1
of God, who puts down one kiug and puts up an
other at his own pleasure. If he wills that Tae
ping Wang and his party shall conquer, they will
conquer, and not without. This has been Ihoir
own conclusion, aud must be tho conclusion of all
who look soberly at tho matter, and duly consider
the unlikely measure of breaking down idols as
the moans by which they commenced, have mad*
k irovrehß, and advanced to their present position.
We hope and believe ih'*y »ill succeed.
“ 2. If it succeeds what will be the probable result* t
Most likely an enlargement of intercourse with
other nati ns, and especial y the United Slates,
and of commerce; a diffusion of science and
modern improvements among them; a universal
change of religion throughout the nation; the pro
mu'vat ion of the Gospel aud the salvation of their
souls.”
Mr. Roberts says that readers in this country
»ro often misled in relation to tho Chinese revolu
ti'-n, for the want of discrimination between the
general movement and looal rebellions. The for
ner may be advancing while the latter are over
come and dispers'd. Different opinions in regard
to the revolution also exist among foreigners in
China; and therefore * llowance must be made for
hose who write in exposition He earnestly en
treats that foreign nat o» s may keep neatral and
ake no part againstthe '•“volutionis's.
Daily Newbp.*pfb*. — i'nere is no hook eo in
-truo ive SB a newspaper; no fenowl<dge bc nece
ary to be acquired a u . that which may he gleaned
from its columns, and acquired with half bo much
facility. It is not o ’y the vehicle cf the n
and most useful informuting, but it also affords
the cheapest, moat innocent and leant d ying
source of pleasure and happiness. A daily news
paper, in a large family, is sure every day to be
the means of interesting, information or pleasing
almost every member of the fami y especially
where they live in the country, and see and ho r
little that is new. In the coarse of a year, a well
conduced paper conveys information < n aim os'
every subject, or at least excites curiosity and in
quiry on all subjects. To koow what is nearest
to us in time and in space, is mod necessary, most
pleasing and most instructive ; and this kind of
knowledge can only be obtained from newspapers.
We would venture to affirm that there never was
and never wiil be, in a country situation, an ig
norant family who took a daily newspaper. Let
any parent teach his children to read and then
subscribe to a daily newspaper, and it ia
b'ethat h's family should not in time become well
informed, provided th*y live sufficiently secluded
to be thrown upon the paper as a souroe of amuse
ment. The dullest child who hates a book will
in ra*»ny weather, steal up to a newspaper, read
a marriage notice and an advertisement or two
and put it down. The next time, probab y, he
will become bolder, and get through “A Horrible
Murder.” Boon he will read short tale* of fi.tion;
then just before election time, h 8 begins to peep
into politics and even to read political speeches.
Last of all, he attacks the foreign news. By this
ti ne his curiosity on mostsubj jc a is ex i e 1 and
overcomes his aversion and fear of bco e, and he
is lured on to become a reading and well-informed
man. It is strange that any family, as a measure
ol economy, 3honld be without a daily paper Chil
dren see the world cheaply at home, in a news
paper, without the danger of bad association or
the f xperises of travel.— Richmond Enquirer.

Tho San Antonio Texun has tho following letter
from a correspondent at Eagl; Pass, dated October
30th:
Onr neighbors over the Rio Grande are >n con
siderable excitement between threatening our p >or
little town of Eagle Pass and the news that they
from parties in San Antonio that the vol
unteers aro coming in large numbers. As to this
town, all tho Mexicans livii g hero Ir vo crossod
into Mexico, with only one or two exceptions,
leaving us only about twenty citiians to defend the
place in case they attempt (that is tho Mexica s)
to put the threat that they had made into execu
lion ; that is, to come over and set flro aud plun iei
the town, which could be done very e sily if they
attempt it.
They have a largo force on tho other Hide, up
und down tho river, aud in front of this place. 1
suppose that they have within twenty-five milos
each way, at loast twelve hundred men under
arms ; five hundred having arrived from Monte
roy, with ft ur pieces of artillery. Throe Mexicans
arrived here, October 20, from Sun Autonio,
bringing them uew- that tho volunteers worn in
strong force, and ou tho road. On th© 25 h another
express (Mexican) arrived, and crossed into Mexico
from San Autonio ; but as yot we have no idea
what news ho brought. Wo only know that all
the families who had returned to Piedras Negras
have boon ordered to leavo for San Fernando, a
small town thirty miles west or this place, which
they partly fortified by barricades, so that they
aro preparing lor war.
It is reported the Lipan Indians have carried
flieir families to the mountainI*, 1 *, and uro now down
ready to tight. There is a party of nine L’pans
on this side. They wore seen about Mine Creek a
few days ago.
Tho Mexicans have a party outou this ride spy
ing. They 1 ft Preridio Rio Grande eight d*iys
ago, and part of them went to San A tonio on the
old Woll trail. So you see they aro taking every
precaution uot to bo surprised.
The bones of the lour men lost by Capt. Calln
hen’s command in tho fight with tho Mexicans and
ludiaua, have boon brought to this side and bu
ried. The skull of one bears the marks of the
scalping kuife. Prior to removing them to their
homes, the body oJ Lieut. Devaut, drowned at
this pince last month, wa* found down by Laredo,
strippod nuked. When drowned, it is stated that
he had on a gold watch arid chain, a six shoot,ng
pistol, aud a considerable amount of money;
showing, too plainly, tho body had boon robbed
when lound.

We trike the following from the Galveston

Official Cobbuption —fbo history of official
corruption in New York is endlews «s well as most
humiliating. Am ng the iato indictments by the
Grand Jury vat one against Police Justice Stuart,
and the oase is now on trial, exhibili g the ro
rnanceof rascality in the highest perfection. A
notorious burglar i amed Cosgrove, alias Huff do
Bill, was arrested when the accused was a police
justice, for burg ary in the first degree, and h Id
to bail in $3,000. A man named Frink became
bail, and the sureties were forfei ed. This Cos
grove married a woman named Connolly, wi’h
whomHtaart had been intimately acquaint'd, and
in 1854, when Stuart was a candidate for City
Judge, he told her that if he was elected ho wou d
use his influence with Mr. Hall, who expected to
be District Attorney, to obtain the discharge of
Cosgrove. In February, 1855, this woman told
Stuart she had SSOO in bank, which she would
give to obtain the release of her hnsoand. Stuart
»old her to get the money, which she obtained in
five notes of SIOO each, and gave them to Stuart.
That month ho held the Court and applied to the
District Attorney to enter a nolle prosequi in the
cage of one Connolly, which he sais was an old
of no consequence and the witnesses all gone.
The District Attorney made some otjeotions,
but at the urgent request of Stuart wrote a note to
the C erk to enter a nolle ptoe*qui in the case of
Connolly. Stuart then succeeded in making the
Clerk ot the Court believe ihu the name Connolly
was a clerical error, and that the direc ion to enter
a nolle proaequi was in ten ed for the case of Cos
grove. This notorious scamp was thus freed and
•stuart earned bis SSOO. The plot however was
discovered by the Dis r ct At’ornoy, and another
indictment against Cosgrove procured. This in
dictment was returned to the Court in a blank en
velop, uneudon-ed, With the tie# to keep itnexiH
