We have great pleasure, says the New rk
Cmmm rrxai Advertiser, in transferring the following
letter to our columns. It is published in tin- St.
Louis Rrpubitcan, and is so evidently written iu a
Hpirit of fairness, conciliation and patriotism that
the reader will be constrained to give his full c« nd
<l(-ace to the statements of the writer. We subjoin
a telegraphic despatch confirmatory of its gratify ing
Lecompton. Kansas Territory, /
,Sep*ember 26,1856. >
I occupy a position here w hich gives me access to
the earliest and most reliable information respecting
parking events in this territory. 1 have been here
nut ten days, am in no way connected w ith either of
the parties v hick divide and distract this beautiful
country; have no enmities or prejudices, and am
entirely prepared to do entire justice iu any state
previous to Gov. Geary’s advent here, the condi
tion of affairs was bad enough, if not worse
than the mo** \ ivid picture ever drawn bv human
skill.
Murders and cold-blooded assassinations, without
number, have been committed, innumerable arsons
perpetrated, women have been driven naked from
their blazing homes in the dead of night, houses,
stores and fields have been plundered and devasta
ted, and other outrages committed entirely revolting
to tlie most savage natures.
The inevitable consequences of such a state of
affairs are plainly visible and deeply marked upon
this lovely territory. Business has been paralyzed,
confidence destroyed, despair with squalid poverty
seemed the only portion of the people.
For this gloomy and terrible state there seemed
no relief. The civil government was inoperative,
general contempt for all authority prevailed, arinea
bands of men making war Hpon each other held un
disturbed possession of the territory, and the reign
of ten or prevailed.
One party has determined to force slavery hers at
nil hazards. The other, with equal determinat ion,
have resolved that slavery shall not be tolerated
here.
This state of things was fast drifting the country
into civil war. and it* lurid flames would have soon
enveloped the nation.
At this crisis, when a picked army of 2,700 Mis
sourians were marching upon Lawrence with a fixed
determination “to wipe it out” and to serve Topeka
in iike manner, and to exterminate the free state
settler» of the territory, Gov. Geary arrived at Le
comptou, the capital of this territory.
\\ ithout a moment's hesitation he delivered Ills
inaugural address (which is a document of rare abi
lity and wise moderation,) issued his proclamation
disbanding all unauthorised armed bodies of men,
and took the field in person.
On the same day he captured 501 free state men
f' T.v rence who in defiance of his proclamation
v. eking the pro-slavery men of Hickory
1 d by his bold, manly eloquence he dispers
ed Lc army of Missourians, called into the field un
der Secretary Woodson’s proclamation, and saved
the town of Lawrence with its churches and school
houses from destruction and its inhabitants from
massacre.
The next day he was down upon Topeka, arres
ted fouitecu criminals, secured an immense quan
tity of stolen goods and frightened Lane out of the
country.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of John
String fellow anil other pro slavery agitators, and
every evidence has been given that Governor Geary
is determined “to dojusticeat all hazards,” and im
partially and fearlessly to discharge all the functions
of the executive office.
The result of such a policy is everywhere appa
rent The two weeks of Governor Geary’s admin
istration have been pregnant with the most benefi
cial results to this oppressed alHieted country.
Business is reviving. Confidence is restored .
men talk more kindly of each other. The axe, the
iw and i lie anvil are iu their different voca
tions.
Free State men and pro-slavery men alike ap
proach the Executive Chamber, with their petitions
for redress, with the entire confidence that their
wants will be relieved and their wrongs redressed.
Armed bodies of men no longer prowl about the
country with daring impunity; citizens are re
turning to their claims, and every one feels that
the benign influence of peace are being shed up
on us.
I will close my lmsty letter by relating a most in
teresting incident which occurred at the Executive
office a few days since, ns illustrative of the new
Governor's policy, and as in my opinion full of hope
ot a better future for this Territory.
You may have heard of Col. Titus, a pro-slavery
man, whose cabin was burned by the free State
men under Captain Walker, one of Lane’s most fa
mous captains. In retaliation the pro slavery men
burned Gapt. Walker’s cabin and drove him from
hi- claim into Lawrence. The most bitter feud
existed between Walker and Titus, who are both
represented as galla it follows and the chosen
representatives ol their respective parties.
The pro slavery men here speak kindly of Walk
er and say that ho always treated their prisoners
with much courtesy and humanity. These men,
each approaching the Governor for a different pur
now, accidentally met in the Executive Chamber.
Their start of surprise and their sudden flush of hate
was only repressed by the Executive presence. The
Governor, entirely conversant with their histories
and appreciating their positions, with that exquisite
tact so natural to him, immediately rose and said,
“Gentlemen, you have been enemies long enough ;
men of such generous natures and true instincts
should be friends. I require the service of you
both to assist me in restoring peace to this beauti
ful but distracted territory. For my sake, and for
the sake of the country, you must shake hands and
be friends.”
From that moment* they were friends, audit would
have done you good to see the manly tear roll down
their cheeks as they recounted the story of their
wrongs, and pledged eternal friendship to each cth-
The Governor immediately charged Col. Titus
with tin* duty of forming a volunteer battalion to
ore-erve the peace of this neighborhood, and Capt.
Walker with the same duty for the vicinity of Lawr
renee.
Such a policy must break down prejudices and re
store confidence.
•Letjustice be dine though the Heavens fall,
pray to God for help ami push on the column,” is the
motto of Gov. Geary, and let me assure you that no
eartiily consideration can ever make him swerve
from it.
Georgia and Missouri.— We learn from the
St. Louis Republican that the opening of the con
tinuous line of Railroad from the principal cities
and manufacturing places in Georgia to Nashville,
Tennessee, is already developing a new trade, aud
one which promises to be profitable to them and to
others. The State of Georgia, as is well known,
has not only completed an extensive system of Rail
roads, but, she has been engaged in the erection of
manufactures which contribute very much to her
wealthy prosperity. With fine water power and the
raw material grown at their doors, her citizens can
successfully compete with other States in many fa
brics, and hence they are able to send sheetings, os
naburgß, cotton yarns, &.C., to New York for a mar
ket. The completion of the line of railroad to Nash
villehus turned their attention to Missouri, and their
goods begin to appear in the St. Louis market,
direct from the manufacturers hands ; and wheu the
Cumberland river is iivnavigable order they can be
placed there on better terms than if bought in New
York or Boston aud sent by railroad.
Cincinnati is by far tin* most extensive whiskey
market on the American Continent, aud the quanti
ty of Indian corn consumed in manufacturing it this
year, without noticing the rye and ship stuffs also
used, exceeds the average annual exportations of
this article from the United States to Europe, which
is about all that is exported to foreign countries du
ring the la**t nine years. The total exportations of
corn from the United States to Great Britain and
Ireland during that time, and which constitutes
nearly all exports to foreign countries, was 57,471,270
bushels, and by dividing this by the number of
years (nine) we find the annual average exportation
to be 5,274,585 bushels. Nineteen millions two hun
dred and sixty thousand and 45 gallons proof whis
key were distilled in that city and vicinity during
the year ending August 31, 1856, consuming six
millions four hundred add twenty bushels Indian
corn, allowing one bushel corn to three gallons proof
whiskey. The comparison stands as follows : Con
sumed in the distillation of whiskey in that city and
vicinity last year 6,120,015 : annual average of ship
moots from the United States to foreign countries,
5,274,585.
The First Passenger Car on the Savannah,
Ai.kany and Gulf Railroad. —One of the most
interesting spectacles we have witnessed on the
Bay for many years was the passage over the plank
road on Saturday afternoon of a beautiful new pas

No Crime to Steal Lottery Tickets. —Three
men at Montreal having been indicted for a con
spiracy to defraud one John Mcdonald of a lottery
ticket, Mr. Justice McCord, on the 4th inst., deliv
(■ ed an elaborate decision quashing the indictment.
His judgment proceeds on the ground that lotteries
being illegal in Canada, lottery tickets are there val

to conspire to do so.
Panther Killed. —A Panther measuring nine
feet from tip to tip was killed in twelve miles of this
place, near the foot of the mountain, a few days since
by a lad about 12 years old. His father had sent
him out to drive up the cattle: lie had not proceed
ed far before he heard the cattle bellowing at a tre
menduous rate, and making iu the direction of home.
He quickened his pace, with gun in hand, when in
about sixty yards of the cattle he discovered some
thing squat, leaving nothing but its head visible,
which he supposed was a deer : he immediately drew
a bead and fired, the ball taking affect in the upper
portion of the skull. With buoyant hopes he ap
proached his game, but the death struggle and tre
toendous screams of the monster proved to the lad
that it was more ‘healthy’ to return for additional
help. —Fahionegii Signat.

A3pinwall papers to the 4th inst. inclusive.
At the departure of the previous steamer political
affairs in Panama were in great confusion, and there
was apparently imminent danger of an armed colli
sion between the parties sustaining the two candi
dates for Governor. The Legislature was without
a quorum, from a portion of its members refusing to
attend its meetings. On the 18th of September,
however, a quorum was got together, the registers
were inspected, and Senor Bartolome Caivo was de
clared to be elected Governor of the State for two
years, by a majority of about seven thousand votes
over Senor Diaz. The Panama Star and Herald of
September 20 says :
We had hoped that the election of Sr. Batolome
Caivo would have ended the state of suspense in
which the city has been kept so long: but in this
we have been disappointed. When the hour of
meeting of the Legislature arrived yesterday, those
of the members who had already absconded from
the House for four days, and whose places had been
refilled after so much delay and trouble, presented
themselves and took possession of their seats, and
among them the most prominent was the Vice-Pre
sident, Urnitia Anino, who had the hardihood to
seat himself in the Presidential chair.
As might be supposed, such a step led to a violent
discussion in the House, which resulted in the draw
ing of weapons and the wounding of one of the
members. The Assembly of course was broken up,
open violence was threatened by the Diaz faction,
the police, national guard, and a large body of vol
unteers were called out, and the negroes were dis
persed. The boats from the Independence and St.
Mary’s were prepa ed, and lay off the town all the
afternoon in expectation of an attack upon their
countrymen, and the greatest excitement prevailed
throughout the city.
Up to the hour of going to press, however, no en
counter took place, although one is momentarily ex
pected.
These apprehensions, however, appear not to have
been realized, as we find no account of any further
disturbances, iu the imperfect file before us, and on
the Ist instant Senor Caivo was regularly installed
as Governor, and entered upon the administration
of the duties of his office.
The journal above quoted speaks of Caivo as a
man of education and talent. The Aspinwall Cou
rier says:
He is a mulatto, a native of Carthageua, a prac
tical man, and was the most influential editor of the
Isthmus for two years. Like other New Grana
dians, he is exceedingly jealous of foreign influence,
and us a politician, he is crafty and assuming; but
we have always found him more honorable than
others. If he cannot deliver the State from the
slough into which it has fallen, no one will be se
cured whose services will avail.
The termination of the fractional strife which has
been carried on at Panama for several weeks, upon
the Gubernatorial question, having been accomplish
ed by the inauguration of the candidate elected, has
to a considerable extent restored security to the
minds of the natives and citizens of that city and
vicinity ; and everything wears a more settled as
pect.
The vote in the state of Panama on the Presiden
tial question was as follows :
Mosquera ‘^4s
Ospina U>«2
Murillo 13*5
Mosquera had also received twenty thousand
votes in Popayan. The Panama Star thinks that
there is a fair chance that he is elected.
From Costa Rica we lmvc intelligence byway of
Panama to the 16th of September. Business was
represented as in a most deplorable condition. There
was great dissatisfaction with President Mora, aris
ing from the result of his Nicaragua expedition, and
a change of administration was deemed not impro
bable. Public opinion still bore strongly against
the Walker Government of Nicaragua, and it was
•toted that an army of five hundred Costa Ricans
was posted on the frontier in Guana Casta, under
command of General Canos, ready to oppose the
threatened invasion of that Territory by Walker.
From Nicaragua the advtees are not so late as
those received by the steamship Tennessee. They
are of some value, however, in forming an opinion
of the actual state of affairs there, the intelligence
last received being entirely derived from sources
bound to represent the prospect of Walker in the
most favorable light.
The following version of the engagements at
Cliontales differs materially from the account here
tofore published :
Greytonvn, Sept. 21,1856.
The Nicaraguense of the 6th of September gives
you a short account of an affair which took place in
Client ales ; as the* government organ, it would of
course decide iu favor of Walker, which really is
not the case. The following is, I believe, a true
statement of all attacks, for there were three. You
will remember in your last steamer edition you re
ferred to an attack about to made by Colonel Mc-
Donald in the Cliontales Province; it appears that
by his daily sending away small parties with cattle
his own got so small that the natives no longer over
awed by numbers, turned upon him, after which he
determined to retreat on Granada for fresh rein
forcements, which being obtained, he left Tipilata
on the Ith inst. with about 63 men.
The affair then, as represented in the paper of the
6th, took place, and although Walker’s party claim
the victory, there is not the slightest doubt that
they retreated with great loss and totally disorgani
sed. Col. McDonald again returned to Granada,
and on the 14th took up a fresh position; he was
attacked bv the natives in three places, and was to
tally defeated, three of the principal leaders being
killed. My informant says he thinks the names are
Col. McDonald, Wiley Marshal and E. H. Laws,
but as to the first, he is not quite sure as some say
it was Col Cole. There apppears to be some pro
bability of the two parties, the Granadians Leonians
joining together against Walker; if so, he will be
rather in a fix.
The 15mania Star and Herald mentions reports
that Walker intended to take possession ol Grey
town, and from thence proceeding with his army to
Cohta Rica. The same paper says :
Rivas remains fortified in Leon with his own for
ces and that of Guatemala and Salvador, amount
ing, it is supposed, to about twenty-five hundred
men. What the condition of this army jis we have
been unable to ascertain. Rivas is waiting until
the dry season. November sets in, to commence an
attack upon Walker, by which time also he expects
strong reinforcements from the alliedstates, thestate
of the roads preventing all communication at pres
ent.
This period is evidently looked forward to with
the greatest anxiety by all parties, and there can
be little doubt that the" fate of Nicaragua and Walk
er depend upon the issue of the contemplated strug
gle; before that period we need not look for any im
portant news. Meanwhile the allied states of Salva
dor, Honduras and Guatemala are getting a small na
val force in readiness, r,ud they have already fit
ted out two war schooners, which are now cruising
on the Central American Coast for the protection of
their commercerce.
From the Southern Coast. —The British mail
steamship New Granada arrived at Panama on the
21st of September, bringing advices from Valparai
so to the 31st of August, and Callao to the 11th of
September.
From Chili, the news is not of very great interest.
A memorial has been presented to the chamber of
deputies, signed by ten of its members, asking the
intervention of government in Central American af
fairs, and protesting against the recognition of the
Rivas-Walker government of the United States. It
concludes with the following resolution :
Resolved, That the Chamber of Deputies inform
the Supreme Executive power of their desire that
it should intervene in a serious and decided mari
ner in their affairs of Nicaragua, sending the lega
tion it may consider proper to accredit near the
Central American government or others of the
Spanish American continent, in order to obtain a
complete and perfect knowledge of the attitude this
nation should adopt respecting the actual events.
The subject had not been definitely acted upon
by the Chamber at the departure of the steamer.
In Peru there had been no further political dis
turbances since the departure ot the previous steam
er.
The mining town of Ilualgalioc, with a popula
tion of six thousand, had been destroyed by fire:
From Bolivia we have no remarkable intelligence
beyond mention of the fact that peace has been es
tablished and maintained by General Cordoba, who,
during nine months, has succeeded iu quelling four
revolutions.
From Australia. —Melbourne advices to the Ist
of July had been received at Panama, n week later
than those in our possession byway of England.—
It is state d that new gold fie'ds had been recently
discovered in Tasmania, which were creating con
siderable excitement, and the report from all parts
of the colonies respecting this mineral were favora
ble.
From California. —We have received from San
Francisco papers to the iiOtu of September, sixteen
days later.
Some uneasiness has been felt here relative to the
result of the indictments for piracy, in the United
States Court at San Francisco, growing out of the
seizure of aims on board of a vessel, under the di
rection of the Vigilance Committee. Had a con
viction ensued, there is but little doubt that a colli
sion must have taken place between tlie forces of
the committee and of the United States. The par
ties indicted are Johu M. Durkee and Charles E.
Hand. The trial took place on the 11th of Septem
ber, before Judge McAllister, and the jury, after an
absence of three or four minutes, brought in a ver
dict of not guilty.
The San Francisco Bulletin says :
The public feeling against the prosecution was so
great that less efforts were made to convict them
t han was at first supposed there would be. The
District Attorney, probably aware of the impossi
bility of a conviction, did not make the many ob
jection&l technicalities that usually arise in cases of
this character, and at the same time fully carried
out the letter aud instructions of the law. After
their discharge they were received by their friends
and members of the Vigilance Committee and es
corted in triumph through the principal streets, pre
ceded by a band of music. During their connne
ment in prison, as bail was refused them,after their
indictment, Mr. Rand was nominated by the Re
publican convention for the office of dock master, a
responsible aud lucrative position.
The settlers at Sacramento held a meeting on the
?fch of September, to consider a recent decision of
the Supreme Court of California, declaring the right
of claimants of inchoate grants to eject settlers pre
vious to a final confirmation by the United States
Court. They passed resolutions to maintain their
possession at’ all hazards until the decision of the U.
S. Supreme Court.
The Democratic party have nominated Joseph
McKibben and Chas. L. Scott for Congress.
The mining news is favorable. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin furnishes the following summary
Mining operations are being successfully prosecu
cuted in Mariposa county. New discoveries of very
rich quartz leads have lately been made within the
town of that name. On the Merced, from Horse
Shoe Bend upward, races have been dug and many
large water wheels erected, and great results are
anticipated. On the Salmon and Klamath rivers,
the miners are said to be remarkably prosperous.
In Calaveras county, some very rich ’quartz veins
have been discovered. The miners there have been
much excited, and are very hopeful in consequence.
There are said to be five hundred new mining tun
nels in progress within a few miles of Downieville.
Iu other parts of the mining districts tunneling is
being extensively prosecuted.
Mr. Herbert, member of Congress from Califor
nia, arrived at San Francisco on the 18th of Septem
ber. The day after, a committee of gentlemen
waited upon him, and presented to him the petitions
which had been numerously signed, asking him
never to make this State his residence again. He
accepted the documents, aud promised to give them
a respectful consideration.
About forty buildings in Marysville were destroy
ed by fire on the sth of Shptember. They were
mostly wooden tenements, occupied by Mexicans
aud Chinese. Loss estimated at $50,000.
The town of Col&si, with the exception of the Co

Oregon. —By this arrival we have Oregon papers
to the Bth of September, aud advices to the 11th,
both inclusive.
There had been little further actual hostilities with :
the Indians, but the Oregon papers persist in repre
sentiiig the red men as unfriendly. A supply train
had been captured by the Indians, who succeeded
in making good their escape to the Blue Mountains.
We apprehend, however, that this was done by
stragglers, and that generally the tribes have aban
doned their hostile attitude. About .>00!) Indians
had been congregated at the Dalles, most of them
friendly, and those formerly unfriendly hud given up
their arms.
A grand council with the Indians was appointed
to b<* he ld on the 15th of August, but reports of its
result had not reached Salem or Portland. The Nez
Perces Indians had, however, reache J the Council
ground.
Governor Stevens had gone to the Walla Walla
country.
The following particulars of the attack upon the
supply train referred to above, are given by the
Oregonian, having been brought in from the Walla
Walla to the Dalles, one hundred and eighty-live
miles, iu two days, by a single expressman, Mr. W.
11. Pierson :
The Indian Department and volunteer trains, un
der charge of Juo. Scott, with twenty-five men es
cort, making forty-one, packers and all, were at
tacked by a party of Indian*, estimated at seventy
five, at about 11, A. M., on tkc 28th lilt., and fought
the party until midnight, when Scott and his
men abandoned their train and animals, except
enough to mount themselves, aud started for Gov.
Stevens’ camp. Col. Shaw sent a party of volun
teers the next day, after the Indians, and the In
dians and captured pack train were seen, but not
an Indian taken or an article recaptured. They
were chased into the Blue Mountains, but made a
clear escape. The Indians had several days pie
viously fired the prairies about them. They had
also attacked seven men of Shaw’s party, and i e-ta
ker. an Indian prisoner. The object of firing the
prairies was to burn the volunteers' camp.
We moke the following extracts from the Orego
nian and other papers :
Sampson’s baud of Umpqua Indians were, at last
accounts, annoying the citizens in the vicinity of
Myrtle creek. Two men—David K. Ikinbeard*and
William Russell—have been wounded, and a large
amount of property has been destroyed. Pat . Day,
with a < ompany of men, was in pursuit of the
“diggers.”
The harvest, though lale, owing to the advanced
season of sowing, caused by the cold weather, are
nearly completed. The crops are generally good,
much better than was anticipated early in the sea
son. The yield of apples peaches an i other fruits,
has also been abundant. Mowers, reapers, and other
labor-saving machinery is being introduced, to the
great benefit of the farmer.
Measures were in progress for supplying the city
of Portland with water.
Telegraphic wires had been extended to Salem by
way of the Dalles.
Washington Territory.— The United States
bi ig Fauntleroy was engaged in surveying the har

We find the following in an Oregon paper ;
Our farmers are now in the midst of their wli at
crop harvest, and beautiful cool weather they are
having for it, too. The oats crop, what the grass
hoppers have left, has already been gathered. It is
a matter of regret that the devastations of the grass
hopper, on both crops, particularly that of the oats,
has been very considerable in this county. In
many instances, whole fields have been laid waste
through their ravages. The farmers of our territo. y
are steadily providing themselves with reapers and
thrashers of large and improved models, which, in
there times of Indian troubles, are peculiarly ad
vantageous and necessary, as a vast amount oftiine
and labor is saved thereby.

The Alleged Extensive Forgeries in Wail
Street.
Additional and somewhat astounding develop
ments have been made in relation to the extensive
forgeries committed upon Phelps, Dodge &. Co.,
since our first accouut of the transaction appeared
in type. It is now believed that over SIOO,OOO
worth of forged promissory notes oil the above firm
have been executed by Huntington, and that he
has been engaged in speculating for some time
I mat upon loans raised upon these forged notes.—
n one instance, the accused paid back the loan
and redeemed the note, which was forged and
entirely valueless, und thus the fraud was not
discovered. The holder of the note did not think
it worth his while to make inquiries regarding
the p per, supposing it to be all right, and it
was not until Thursday that the trick was made
manifest.
Yesterday afternoon additional evidence was ad
duced against the accused broker Huntington, and
anot her charge of forgery was preferred against him
by Mr. Dodge, as will be seen from the following af
fidavit :
William E. Dodge, of the linn of Phelps, Dodge
& Co., being duly sworn, deposes and says : That
on the 10th day of October, 1856, deponent saw, at
the office of Messrs. Bishop & Co., No. 52 Wall st.,
two drafts for $5,000 each, purporting to have been
drawn by Charles Scranton & Co., of Oxford Fur
nace, New Jersey, on deponent’s firm, and purport
ing to be accepted by said Phelps, Dodge Co.,
which were left, with Bishop &. Co. by one Charles
B. Huntington, as collateral security for money bor
rowed, which said notes deponent declares were
never sued by his said firm and are forgeries. De
ponent further prays that the said Charles B. Hun
tington may be arrested and dealt with as the law
directs. W. E. Dodge.
Upon the above affidavit a warrant for the re-nr
rest of Huntington, who was then out on bail, was
issued by Justice Connolly, of the Lower Police
Court, and the same was placed in the hands of
Sergeant Bowyer and officer Farley for execution.
Huntington was token into custody in the course of
the day, and on being brought before the magistrate
he was committed to the Tombs in default of $20,000
bail.
Soon after the arrest of Huntington was made, his
bail in the other case appeared before Justice
Connolly and surrendered the accused, fearing that
he might take it into his head to walk off some
fine morning, and leave them minus $20,000. The
prisoner was then committed to prison on the two
charges of forgery, in default of $40,000 bail.
Messrs. Bishop Co., referred to in the affidavit
of Mr. Dodge, hold a amount of forged paper
upon Phelps, Dodge &. Co., left with them as col
lateral security by the broker Huntington, for loans
made to him. The amount of forged notes palmed
oil' upon Messrs. Bishop <fc Co., will not fall short of
$35,000.
Many other firms have been duped in a like man
ner. We have heard that another party has been
victimized to the exteut of $25,000. No doubt there
are some more of these forged notes in the market,
which, if gathered in, would swell t lie amount of
forgeries to a grand aggregate of SIOO,OOO.
The investigation will be continued from day to
day until the exact nature and amount of the forge
ries upon Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co. are ascer
tained. Meanwhile, we shall keep our readers post
ed up in regard to this grand piece of financh ring,
and publish the facts in full as they transpire before
the magistrate.
The Forgeries in New York. —The New York
Commercial says :
There is much excitement iu the street this morn
ing from the discovery of forged paper afloat, as
detailed in a police report under the appropriate
head. The matter, however, appears to be of far
greater importance than is there stated, and the sto
ry this morning is, that it has been ascertained
thus far that forged paper to the amount of near
ly half a million has been put in circulation by
the parties implicated in the transactions already
noted.
The exact sum named is four hundred and sixty
thousaud dollars, but it scarcely seems possible that
so large an amount could be kept afloat. The names
of only two houses are mentioned as having been
forged on, and in the absence of explicit informa
tion, it is manifestly improper to give them the cur
rency of newspaper circulation.
Tlic New York Forgeries.
The principal topic of conversation, in commer
cial circles to-day, has been the forgeries noted in
this morning's paner, and some further startling de
velopments have ueen made. The accused, Chas.
B. Huntington, has been in the habit of purchasing
business paper of the note brokers to some extent,
and if he is guilty as charged, has copied and multi
plied these signatures indefinitely, and then with a
mixture of the spurious and genuine, has borrowed
mouey, using the notes only as collateral, and thus
securing himself the liberty of taking them up be
fore their maturity would lead to discovery. On
the Bth istant he obtained of C. Belden & Co., a
loan upon a large amount of the paper of Messrs.
Phelps, Dodge «Sc Co., one of our most respectable
houses, but carelessly allowed one note to go in
which was duetbe Ist—tth, and was thus four days
beyond maturity. Beldeu's clerk, in entering the
loan and making a memorandum of the notes, dis
covered that this one wa3 overdue, and after con
sultation with his principal, sent it up to the count
ing house of Phelps, Dodge & Co. lor collection.—
The book keeper detected Ihe forgery the moment
the note was offered, but merely asked the young
man to call again, as his principals were not in the
office. lie then took immediate measures to trace
the forgery, and this resulted iu the arrest of Hunt
ington as stated this morning. To-day there has
been a general overhauling ot bill-books, and we
learn that large amounts of forged paper have been
discovered, the names of Clafiin, Mellen & Co.,
Bowen McNamee and others, having been used,
as well as the one already reported. Itumor places
the amount of forged paper thus traced at upwards
of SIOO,OOO : and one capitalist now absent from the
city, is said to have advanced a large amount of
money upon similar securities. But for the care
lessness of the perpetratoi in using a note overdue,
the fraud might have gone on for years without de
tection. The result will be to make lenders a little
more chary of their favors to fast youug men whose
horses and cigars are their chief index of wealth ;
and to condense the business of note selling into the
hands of strong houses of known intelligence and
responsibility. Mr. Harbeck and Mr. Belden, who
became bail for Huntington, surrendered him this
inorniDg after the discoveries already noted.— X. Y.

Thz Wall Street Forgeries. —The grand
frauds perpetrated by the note broker Huntington
seem to be the chief theme of conversation, not only in
Wail street, among die bulls and bears, but among
all clasres of the community. It now appears that
Huntington has carried on this system of forging
the names of responsible firms for some time past,
and that on one occasion the fraud leaked out. but
it was immediately hushed up by interested parties,
who feared the result of a public disclosure, and
again the work of iniquity was recommenced.
It was, no doubt, the intention of Huntington to
keep the forgeries quiet. He could speculate to
| advantage, with the large sums of money raised
upon these forged notes and drafts, and was there
fore enabled to take them up before their matu
rity. and thus conceal the fradiuent modus operandi
by which he effected his designs. By this means
the fraud was carried on successfully for a long
time, and was only discovered through the gross
carelessness of Huntington, who allowed one of the
notes to attain its maturity, and on its being presen
ted at the office of Messrs. Phelps. Dodge Sc Co.,
for payment, the forgery was detected, ana the auth
or of the grand scheme was unmasked before the
world in general and Wall street in particular.
Great credit is due Mr. Dodge for the fearless
manner in which he has proceeded in this case.—
Contrary to the advice of many of his friends, he
has taken most active steps towards revealing the
particulars of one of the boldest frauds that was ever
carried on in New York. Many others besides
Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co., are heavy losers by
the conduct of Huntington, but they are afraid to
disclose the fact, for fear of injuring their credit as men
o: business, and therefore are desirous of having
Phelps, Dodge &. Co., bear the entire weight ana
responsibility in the matter.
Huntington was visited by one of his friends yes
terday, who, in a friendly and somewhat imploring
manner, begged of him to reveal the extent of the
scheme. ‘"For God’s sake," said this gentleman,
“where will this matter end? Will we never know'
the limits of the transaction !”
Huntington replied that he was going to take the

Mr. Fillmore’n Letter to Berrien.
The New York Commercial Adrertiser copies
the letter ol Mr. Fillmore toJ. W. M. Berrien,
which we published some days since, and adds :
“We do not covet the head or the heart of the
man who can see in this letler anything else than a
manly assertion of the writer’s determination uotto
sacrifice, in the slightest, any one of his long cher
ished principles for the sake of obtaining the votes
of either section of the country. If Millard Fillmore
had never written a line more than the above, he
would have entitled himeelfto the confidence and
respect of the whole country, b< th North and South.
The letter places Ml . Fillmore oil a platform immea
surably elevated above that of either of his com
petitors, one of whom transformed himself into a
platform to obtain suffrages, and the other relics
only upon the support of the Northern States, ns hi;
own party journals have repeatedly affirmed. From
this day forth every friend of Mr. Fillmore must too:
prouder of him than ever. If there was a ‘man la
the times,' Mr. Fillmore, in the most emphatic sense
of the phrase, is the man fertile present crisis iu our
national affairs, and every man who loves his coun
try should forego every minor consideration and
vote for him.
“The letter is the more valuablebecau.se it is evi
dently not written in coldly measured and diplomat
ic phraseology, but, is the prompt and natural out
burst of a warmly patriotic heart. Mr. Fillmore al
ludes, it will be seen, to an editorial in the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser of September 17, as contain
ing his sentiments on the subject of the Missouri
Compromise. The slip containing the article was
i ndorsed 'my sentiments,' with Mr. Fillmore’s ini
tials attached. We reproduce it, and ask every
conservative man to read it candidly and thought
fully.”

We now take up the consumption of the two sec
tions. The number of white inhabitants of the
North over the South, after deducting from tlie
South the black population, one third, is in favor of
the North as three to one—this slave population not
consuming an amount equal to the white population
North.

This statement is more favorable to the North
than that of previous years. The exports of grain
being increased in consequence of the war in Eu
rope aud the high prices predicated thereon, and
the exports from the South decreased by the general
drouth preventing the crop of cotton going for
ward as usual, which must have affected tin.* gene
ral result from twenty to forty millions of dollars.—
Take the item of manufactured goods sent to Cali
fornia, the raw material mostly coining from the
South, and the cotton kept back bv low water, will
add to the production of the South thirty millions
for the year, making up a balance of trade in her
favor of at least sixty millions of dollars; and a
balance against the North of between forty and fifty
millions.
Politico!Excitement inPorlnuioulli.
There was a good deal of political excitement in
Portsmouth,.Virginia, on Monday last. Ic appears
that a Fremont pole and flag hud been erected in
the town, which caused much excitement, and a
meeting of the Common Council was called, to take
the matter into consideration. The meeting took
place Monday night, in the Town Ilall, where Mr.
J. 11. Thompson, a Councilman, offered a resolution
authorizing the Town Sergeant, to request the par
ties who erected the pole to take it down : aud if the
request was not complied with, to take it down him
self. Several citizens were present at the meeting,
and one of them, Mr. J. G. Holliday, opposed the
motion, and defended the right of tlie persons who
raised the poll to do so. He was replied to by Mr.
Crocker. The motion was adopted. The Norfolk
Argus of yesterday, from which we gather tlie above
facts ;then says:
While Mr. Thompson was addressing the mem
bers of the Council, lie was interrupted and insulted
bv George Butt, a bar keeper, who was instrument
al in raising the pole. This individual, on being
called to order bv the Mayor, became so riotous
that liis Honor called for the police. As they were
not present, he ordered up a tile of a volunteer com
pany which was drilling near the hall. This being
done, an attempt was made to put out the lights,
but the rioters were stopped. They succeeded
in preventing Butt from being arrested, by crowd
ing round him and rushing out of the hall. Before
Butt had escaped, however, some police officers ar
rived and seized him, but he tore himself away
leaving a large part of his coat with them. A friend
of Butt's snapped a pistol at a police office, and
retreated. The Mayor detained a portion of two
volunteer companies to guard the city, but fortu
nately, there was no more use for their services,
the excitement dying away after a little noisy de
monstration around the pole. Tlie next morning
Butt was arrested.
The pole was taken down yesterday, according
to direction, without any further disorderly dernon
tration.
The Soundings for the Atlantk* Telegraph
—The following account, addressed to tne editor of
tlie Illustrated London News, will no doubt, be read
with interest:
“Not a single rock has been met with, not a parti
cle of gravel or sand has been brought up, but it
appears as if nature had provided a bed ‘soft as a
snow bank/ to use Maury's own words for tlie ex
press purpose of receiving a telegraph cable.
“Lieut. Berryman says that he is satisfied that
the lead, with the sounding apparatus, has frequent
ly buried itself ten or fifteen feet deep inthissoft mate
rial, and he doubts not that the q§ble will likewise sink
and imbed itself in a similar manner. The great
est depth attained has been two thousand and sev
enty fathoms, (about two and a third miles,) but
perhaps the most remarkable, and at the same time
the most satisfactory result, is the perfect confirma
tion which these soundings give of the opinion ex
pressed by Lieut. Maury as to the existence of a
great flat or level at the bottom of the ocean, un
paralleled by any thing on the surface of the earth,
and which he proposes to name ‘The Telegraph
Plateau.’
“For more than thirteen hundred miles the bot
tom of the Atlantic in the direct line of our track is
found plain. Nature has thus placed no obstacle ia
the way of this great undertaking, which may not by
cautious perseverance be overcome, nay, l atlier,
(if we except the enormous length of the cable
which will be required,; it would seem that the line
to be followed by the Atlantic cable presents abso
lutely fewer engineering difficulties than the shorter
routs, (though more complex from the nature of the
bottom,) on which the Mediterranean cable must be
laid.”
Price of Hogs.— Tlie Cincinnati Price Current
of the Bth savs : During the last month there has
been much done in the tv ay of contract] tig for hogs:
and especially has this been the case during the last
twoor three weeks. The highest price we heard of
being paid was £6 12 P cwt. net, for November de
livery. Holders now, and for some time past, have
been'asking fb 25 a 6 50 for early delivery; but
there is now less disposition manifested to max e
contracts, even at '"> 12. than there was in Au
gust. The supply of Card and of Barrel Pork is
light, in the various markets, beyond a doubt, and
either of those articles brought to market early will
command high prices; but cut meats are abundant,
dull and low. which acts as a counterpoise to any
disposition which might be manifested to speculate,
with reference to the high prices and scared
Mess Pork and Lard.
Gov. Wise endorsing Mr. Fillmore.— ln a
disunion speech at Kichmond, Virginia, on the 20th

J The Trouble with Naples.—At the last dates
ai -S?!® 8 begun to circulate of the
Anglo kreach demonstration, ami some symptoms
ot popular agitation were observable. The police
maintained a careful surveillance or the English
residents. An Austrian squadron of 7 ships of war
*4 cruising in the vicinity of Sicily.
It is understood in Paris that ‘ the reply of the
l\ *ig of Naples to the diplomatic notes of the West
•.rn Powers is particularly offensive to "his friends
The report- says that when the practice of Hogging
prisoners was brought to the notice of the Ki” Y |/y
a diplomatist, he was referred to tlie Neapolitan
i 1? mister of the Interior, who published the fad that
showed that the punishment was not so cruel as
tha; inflicted on soldiers in the British army. As
tins conversation was of an official character, this
forwarded to the English government.
Inc King ot Naples is said to rely for support on the
army and on the laxzaroni. It is difficult to ascer
t*m the feelings of the army, or to predict the part
it will take in case of a crisis. The lazzarom are
believed to be altogether devoted to the King. The
liberals are at pres, nt united though heretofore one
clion was in favor of the present sovereign if he
would grant a constitution, and the other desired his
abdication in favor of his sou.
The Prris correspondent of the London Times,
w nting on Tuesday, the 25tb, says :
The ultimatum addressed to the King of Naples,
and which was supposed to have left on Sunday’
has, l believe, not yet gone. It is s;rid that Count
\\ alewski thought it necessary to exchange one
more communication with the Emperor before de
spatching it. A Cabinet courier will arrive here to
morrow morning from England, bearing, it i* be
lieved, the ultimatum us the English Government,
which, with that of France, will at once go on to
Naples. Count \\ alewski, seeing the great effect
produced out of doors by the announcement of the
decided measures resolved upon by the two Go-
V ' nineuts, deemed it advisable to represent it to the
Ivi!* eror before taking the final step. In this man
ner, at least, has t-i.e trifling delay been explained to
me.
Great Britain. —Lord Hnrdinge, [the ex-com
mander in-chief of the British forces, is dead. IJe
was / 1 years of age. Ilis Indian services were the
most conspicuous military doings of his life, (though
ke served iu the Peninsula.) and lie was rewarded
by the* Last Indian Company with a pension of
£o,ihM per annum for his own life, while from Par
liament lie received a pension of £3,000, which de
scends to liis true successors in the peerage. The
elevation of his son, (the present member for Down
pntrick) to the peerage, creates a vacancy iu that
borough.
John Frost, the lately liberated chartiat, who got
a democratic “reception” in London last week, has
icon improving the occasion by delivering a public
lecture on the “Horrors of Transportation,” on
which subject, of course, lie i* a practical authority
oi fifteen years experience. Mr. Frost stated that
the tyrauies infimtedupon our convicts in Van De
man s land, and their moral depravity, were un
paralleled by any country on the tuce of the earth.
They were wors ■ than the inhabitants of old Sodom
aud Gomorrah ; and there was scarcely a convict
bov there who was not subjected by violence to
the unnatural and brutal lusts of tlie eider male
ocn victs. Mr. Frost thinks we must keep our fel
ons at home.
Southampton, Sept. 251h.— -The United States
steaui frigate Mammae, Capt. Pcndergast, arrived
L- re this morning from New York, on a cruise. Tlie
Merrimac is one of the monster steam frigates of
which a series have lately been built by tlie Ameri
can government, and ia of 4,888 tons burthen, with
a complement of 570 men, pierced for 60 guns, but
carrying at present only 40. This armament is of
the heaviest and most terrific description, consisting
entirely of long pieces ol ordnance of 8, 9 und 10
inch calibre. The Morrimac is propelled by a
screw, the power of the engines being of *l5O
horses. The screw disconnects and can be lifted
out of the water. The voyage from New York has
been performed almost entirely under canvass and
th - ship has exhibited the best qualities in every re
spent. The Menimac will remain at Southampton
cvoial weeks.
Russia. —The Emperor of Russia has determined
upon a large increase of the mercantile navy of his
empire, and has confirmed the statutes of three
companies which will tend materially to facilitate
trade anil industry in the Sout h, and also be an im
portant aid in rase of any such unpleasant contin
gency as another war. Iu connection with this sub
ject it may be as well to notice that according to Le
Nord, the principal network of railways in Russia
has not been conceded to a company composed of
capitalists of various countries, among whom the
chief are the Paris Credit Mobilier, and M. M. Hot
tingucr, Baring, Hope and Stieglitz. The conees
s on isi granted for eighty-five. yearn, and a mini
mum interest of five per cent, is guaranteed to the
shareholders by the Russian Government. The

Prussia and Nkufchatkl.— Berlin, Thursday
F. rmin ft. —lt is said here in official circles that
Count liartzfeldt lias had reason to be satisfied with
the views of the Emperor of tlie French on the
Neufcbatel question. Prussia will certainly find
means of bringing her claims over the Canton be
fore the notice of Europe.
Berlin, Wednesday Evening. —There is now not
the slightest doubt that the Prussian battalions in
tiie Rhenish provinces are to be augmented. It is
denied that this measure bus reference to the Neuf
ch&tel outbreak, but there are signs of Russia aud
Austria urging that Prussia should make the most of
that affair.
There has been a special oaring of. the cabinet

but that the price asked by the Danish government
is too high. •
BY THE PERSIA.
Tlie subjects of interest in Europe continued to
be tlie pressure upon Naples, the Belgrade bounda
ry, and the question of the i sle of Serpents.
Respecting the proposed demonstration against
Naples, a litter from Vienna of date September 26,
published in Le Nord of Brussels, says that the Aus
trian representatives at Paris and London had re
ceived urgent instructions from their Government
to induce the Western Powers to postpone the exe
cution of their maritime demonstration, and to
await the result of the Austrian envoy (Gen. Mar
tini’s) mission to Naples. The letter adds that there
is < very reason to believe that the Western Powers
will show sufficient consideration for Austria, and
accede to her request. Rumors were circulated in
Paris that the expedition had been definitely coun
termanded, but these rumors were believed to be
premature, if not totally unfounded.
The Belgrade boundary produces considerable
discussion, but no new tacts appeur in the case.
A Frankfort Journal states that Great Britain has
addressed to Russia a second note on tlie subject of
the Lsie of Serpents, and that the tone is more pe
remptory than that of the first. The journal adds
that mutual irritation has been much* augmented
thereby.
The British Government has recently brought for
ward apian, which finds favor with Austria, and, it
is said, with France, for the settlement of tlie Turk
ish difficulties with Montenegro. This plan is main
ly that certain lowland districts, now belonging to
Turkey proper, shall becededto Montenegro, which
principality shall then publicly recognise the sove
reignty of the Port. No progress has yet been made
toward an adjustment of the complicated question
of the union of Moldavia and Wallacliia.
On tlie Ist, the rale of discount at the Bank of
England was raised from 4|tos percent. It was
fully expected that this step would be taken at tin
usual board meeting on Thursday; but the stock
exchange and the public were surprised by this de
parture from the ordinary course. The demand for
money at the bank had, for several days been very
huge, owing to the belief that the rates were about
to be raised. A further rise of \ or 1 per cent, is
spoken of, the rate of the Bank of France being 6
per cent, bullion in bank had decreased £303,090.
Gold continued to be taken for export, to the extent
of £40,000 sterling per day.
Accounts from Paris are still discouraging. The
slot k of bullion in the Bank of France is said to be
daily decreasing, and there were reports of an in
tended early decree for the suspension of specie pay
rnent or for prohibition of the export of silver.—
According to the correspondence of the London
Times, the Bank of Vienna lias accumulated $20,-
000,600 in silver in its vaults ; most of if having been
drawn from France and Gemany, for the purchase
of railways.
The lush statistical department has just issued
its annual report on the agricultural condition of
that country, presenting the following general re
sults :
“The number of acres under tillage Ims increased
since last year by nearly 65,000 acres, and the total
number of acres under cultivation is said to be
5,753,681, or considerably ftiore than one-fourth of
tlie entire area of the kingdom. There is an in
crease in the wheat crop of 83,000 acres, while the
total increase is but 64, owing to a proportionate
decrease in other cereal crops. The oats crop is
less by 8*2,000 acres than it was last year, and bar
ley, rye, peas and beans, taken together, show a de
crease of 19,000 acres. The cereal crops, in the ag
gregate, show a decrease of 48,000 acres as com
pared with last year.
“The most remarkable increase however, has
been in the breadth of potatoes sown this year. The
crop has gradually increased from 877,532 iu 1852 to
1,104,590 in 1856, the increase in this year as com
pared with last year, being no less than 122,289
acres. In live stock the increase of agricultural
wealth has been very decisive for the period from
1852 to 1856, being computed at over £4,000,000
sterling, but, owing to the large decrease in the
number of pigs this year, the increase from 1855 to
1856 amounts only to £35,000 —a mere fractional
increase. The decrease in tlie value of pigs this
year is computed at £327,087, the decrease in the
number being 261,672. This decrease has been
progressive during the five years, 1854 alone being
an exception.''

Loss OF TWO Vessels. —Dreadful Collision and
Ijyss of Xineteen lares.—A most dreadful collision
occurred in the channel on the 25th September,
with, we regret to say, the loss of nineteen livi s.
From the little intelligence which wc have received
of the melancholy catastrophe it appears that the
ship Y eoman, Cant. Calhoun, belonging to this port,
and which sailed hence for Castine on the 21st ult.,
got in contact with the Helen Heligers, from Cal
cutta, bound to this port, on the day named, be
tween Tnskar and Ballyootton.
The Yeoman, it appears, went down in a few
minutes, when the captains and officers, and greater
part of the crew-, in all nineteen unfortunate indi
viduals, were drowned. Three only of the crew of
the Yeoman succeeded in getting on board the
Helen Heilgc-r and were saved. Their names we
i-live not learned. The latter vessel was kept
afloat until the following morning, when, having IS
feet of water in her hold, fortunately all hands were
taken off the sinking vessel by the i'ork, and safely
lauded at Dublin on the evening of Wednesday
last.
The Royal British BANk in Chancery.— On
Monday the necessary forms were gone through and
the various document signed by Vice-Chancellor
Kindersley, and forwarded by special messenger
from Bury St. Edmund's, confirming the appoint

ing es interim manager of the affair of this bank.—
The interim manager will have to enter into such
amount of recognisances as the Court may direel,
and he will also have to-find two or more sureties.
Now that the order absolute for winding up the
t-ffairs of the bank lias been made, none of the assets
can be disposed, of except by order of the Court,
and the manager will at once under the order of the
Court, call upon all parties to deliver up all books
of account, deeds, instruments, cash, bills, notes,
and papers, including “the little book with the lit
tle key,” kept by Mr. Cameron, the manager. The
Court will proceed to determine what parties will
lie entitled to attend proceedings, and will appoint
representatives of contributories or shareholders
who are entitled to inspect the books and papers
free. * 1
■Criminal proceedings may be taken for stealing,
embezzlement, or misappropriation, on behalf of
the shareholders, by the manager, and a penalty of
100 may be enforced on any contributory conceal
ing the estate ol the Company. Creditors will now
have to be called in > and the list of contributories
will then be settled.

Switzerland.—A letter from Berlin, of the 16th
ult . in the Correspondent, of Nuremberg,says:
We learn that the replies of all the powers which
signed the protocol of London of 1852 to the des
patch of the Cabinet of Berlin, relative to the affair
of Neufohatel, have been received, with ihe excep
tion of that of the Russian government. According
to what has transpired of the nature of these replies,
a g. in ml coifviotion isYelt of the necessity of set
tling the question, and it is be,lived that negotiations
to that effect will be opened at the next meeting of
the Conference of Paris.
"Denmark. —The Minister of Finance, and M.
d’Unsgaarii, the Minister of Jllio interior, have re
signed, but il is m»t yd known whether the reaigna
lions are accepted, the King preferring to consult
the Council of State before coming to any definite
decision. The remaining Ministers have declared
t hat it is impossible to keep the present Cabinet
together. The cause of the resignation of the M in
ister of the Interior was his inability to agree with
his colleagues on the measures to be taken to render
peasants proprietors of land which they hold in per
petu lease on the domains of the nobles.
Greece. —Albania is reported to be overrun by

any public rejoicings; a simple religious ceremony
only being performed. King Otho’s return, which
was to he. vr* taken place in the beginning of Octo

A Young Lady Drawn in a Lottery.— Nearly
a year ago, a young lady iu France, named Sophie
Van Behr, conceived the singular idea of disposing
of herself in marriage by means of a lottery. She
was thirty years old, tired of a life of celibaoy, and
In despair at not finding a husband with enough
means at his command to suit her views. She an
nounc'd, therefore, that her handsome but rather
mat ure person should be disposed of on the following
terms. She created a lottery, with five hundred
shares of a t housand francs each. Subscribers were
to present themselves in person, in order that she
might decide on their acceptability as hus
band. The subscribers, of course were to be sin
gle men. The subscriptions were placed in the
hands of a notary as fust ns made, and the draw
ing was not to take place tiil all the shares were
taken—that is, when tlie sum of half a million francs
was complete.
Not quite a year elapsed before the shades were
all taken. The drawing* recently took place in the
office ol t lie notary, who held the subscriptions and
the money, in presence of two magistrates. A thou
sand numbers were placed in an urn, the subscri
bers being numbered in or’eras their names were
inscribed. The lira was thoroughly shaken up, a
blind hand thrust In and No. 499 withdrawn. The
liappy individual who subscribed No. 499 was a Tu
nisian General, who had already occupied the pub
lic attention by his oriental caprices. Blit the lady
was neither frighten* d at the turban, nor the beard,
nor the religion, nor the harem of the happy barba
rian, who hastened to marry her, and to pocket his
five hundred thousand francs. The happy couple
have left for Tunis, where they will reside. —Far is

Hoc in:le State of Affairs in Africa.— The
JRev. Mr. Be&chman, a member of the “London
Wesleyan Mission,’’ lias recently returned from a
visit to Africa, and in a sketch ol the negroes inhab
iting the Gold Coast and its vicinity, which we find
bi tlie Honolulu Religic us Journal, he furnishes a
picture exceeding in horrors anything we liad yet be
lieved of beings wearing the human form. Who
can read, without a sudder, of such bloody deeds
aud Pandemonium customs as those which he re
cords :
“Scarce- any one of their Moody customs have
been abandoned since they first became known to
Europeans. They will even pave their court-yards,
palaces, and even the streets or market, places of
their villages or towns with tbehikuUs of those butch
en din the wars, at feasts, funerals, or as sacrifices'
to Bossum. When Adahauseu died, two hundred
and eighty of his wives were butchered before the
arrival of his successor, which put a stop to it, only
to increase the flow of blood and the number of
deaths in other ways. The remaining living wives
were buried alive, amid dancing, singing, nndbe
wailing, the noise of muskets, horns, drums, yells,
groans, and screeches. The victims wore marched
along with large knives passed through! their
•heeks. The executioners struggle for the bloody
office, while the victims look on and endure with
apathy.
“Upon the death of the king’s brother four thou
sand lives were thus sacrificed. Upon the death of
a king of Ashantee, a general massacre takes place,
und there can be no computation of tlie number of
victims. At their Yam customs, Mr. Bowditch (an
other Englishman) witnessed a horrible eight. Every
cabocer, or noble, sacrificed a slave as he entered
the gate. 11 earls and skulls formed the ornaments
hi their* possession. The blood of the victims is col
lected and quaffed as a delicious beverage. The
King of Dauomey paves the approaches to his pal
ace and the battlements of his castles with the skulls
of his victims, and the great Fetchie Tree at Boda
gra, has ils wide-spread branches laden with human
carcasses and limbs.”
Dreadful Catastiiofhy.— A Mr. Dawson’s
dwelling, in west Union, Va., whs totally consumed
by lire on the night of Thursday, the 2 th ult., when
six children perished in the Haines! Mr. Dawson
and wife barely discovered the lire in t ime to escape
themselves. Mr. D. seized lone of the smaller chil
dren and made his way to the door; when becoming
confused, he rushed back into the house, was stifled
by the smoke, lost the child, and was himself so bud
ly Inp-ned, that his life is despaired of-—so that Miv.
D. is, perhaps, the only survivor of this truly terri
ble calamity. Os those lost, five were children of
Mr. and Mrs. D.—tlie sixth was a young girl, a visi
tor in the family.
One incident ill this cruel drama was almost infer
nal in its character. We are told that during the
progress of tin* flames, the upper floor gave w ay, and
a bed, on which were two or three persons, fell
through to the lower floor, in plain view of the by
standers. Appalling spectacle ! The wretched chil
dren were still alive, but were engirt by the fiery
element and writhing in tlie agonies of death! We
can scarcely conceive a more awful or horrid sight,
one more trying to the minds and nerves of specta
tors-—than to behold fellow creatures literally roast
ing alive, without power to stay the flames, or to res
cue tlie helpless victims from their relentless grasp.
That scene must be burnt into the memories of all
who witnessed it.
Frightful Lamp Exri.osi s.—Firnperson* In
juredl—The long disputed question m to”whether
lamps containing etherial oil are liable to sponta
neous explosion, appears to have received fear
fill solution by an accident in Pittsburg on Tuesday
last.
Several persons were seated around a table, in the
centre of which ww burning a lain]) containing
etherial oil, when suddenly, wit bont being touched,
it exploded throwing its contents in all directions,
upon tiie persons of those surrounding the table.—
The fluid ignited, and five of the persons were most
horribly burned—t woof them, it is feared, fatally
so. Isabella Mathews is burned badly about the
face, breast, arms and hands. Her recovery i
doubtful. Her brother. James Mathews, about 15
years of age, was horribly burned about the face,
neck, arms and hands. His eyes are swollen so as
to be entirely closed, and his face and neck are one
entire blister. The attending physician thinks him
in considerable danger.
Another Miss Mathews and a Mr. and Mrs. Flem
ing, were also very badly burned about, the hands
and arms, but not dangerously so. Mrs. Fleming is
a sister of the Mathewses.
Dkstbi ction of an Old Historical Land
mark.—The bright light, widen lit up the heavens
so brilliantly on Friday night, denoted the burning,
in Jeffersonville, of perhaps the only building of
historical interest in this vicinity. It was the house
in which General William 11 Harrison lived when
he was the Governort)f the North Western Terri
tory. In the old frame tenement; with its brick
basement and weather-stained front and crumbling,
time-eaten roof, resided for several years the great
Indian conqueror, whose name, in connection with
his victories and many virtues, became a household
word throughout the Union. There he ruled that
vast portion of our confederacy known as the States
of Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and the Terri
tory ot Minnesota. Thence he issued his orders
thence he received the legislators, and there dis
pensed that famous latch-string out hospitality,
which, in 18-10, became go celebrated. — l.ovUeiUr

An Indian Vi<7i la.vc:k*ommittek.—lt appears
from the California papers that the Indians m that
section of the country have been incited by the revc
lution that has lately been going on among then
while brethren, and have endeavored to make away
with their chief. Fortunately, however, they were
prevented from carrying their bloody design into
execution.
Slaves Liberated.— George W. Johnson, one
of the large sugar planters on the Mississippi, be ow
New Orleans, who died recently, has left an estate
\ allied at no less than $700,000. He has by his will
manumitted all his slaves, '2OO in number. They
are all to be sent to Liberia in four years from his
death, and each one is to be furnished with SSO.
Rabbi i t-Wool Cloth. — We have seen a re
markable piece of cloth, made by a lady in the j
Dark Corner, of rabbitt wool. It is woven in su- I

Douiocrut Disuuionlmii Rebuked of tlio Noirtfa.
The true conservative press of tho Mouth, says
tin* Baltimore Amerim/n, whilst giving .a cordial
support to Mr. F m.mukk, is speaking out boldly
and unreservedly in condemnation of tl.e Demo
crutic editors and orators in (he same section who
seek to make the impending dtffent of Air. Buchan
an tho justification of an immediate dissolution of
•» Union. Treating with deserved contempt the
urge of abolitionism brought against all who do
n »t admit that the safety cd the South is alone to bs
secured by tlie triumph of the Democracy, these
journals give tree utterance.to that declaration to
preserve the Union which will in tho end be found
tlie controlling sentiment of the musses in all Bee
lions of tin* country. Mr. Brooks' declaration that
he opposed the eh el ion of Mr. FILLIIORK because*
he feared that the administration of so just and pru
dent a statesman, would “throw back the causa of
disunion,” is opening the eyes of Southern men
who value the Union to the dangerous purposes of
party in whose behalf he spoke, and the result is
already beginning to manifest itself in a leiiowed
confidence in the increasing strength of Mr. Kill
work. The Notv Orleans Picayune, one of the
most influential extensively circulated j apsis u
the South, gives expression to the following *t nfo
ments :
At the South there is a party which supports tlia
Democratic nominee for the Pn sidelicy, whioh ac
cepts tin* issue tendered by the Nor hern party, and
avows its readiness ti*stake the Union upon the re
sult of the Presidential contest. The Hon. John
Perkins, .Ir., formerly Representative in (long res*
from this State, iu a letter which has been widely
published, and endorsed by the Washington Union
as an “admirable letter,” said “Tho issue has boim
made by the North, and the South, unless false to
herself, cannot evade it.” Senator in a for
ter to the Corresponding Secretary of the Democrat
ic State Central Committee in this city, did “not
hesitate to declare that if Fremont be elected, the
Union cammt and ought not to be preserved.”—
George Washington, who was a great muu and a
more tried patriot than the other consistent Senator
from Louisiana, taught us to discountenance what
ever may suggest even a suspicion that the Union
can in any event be abandoned; The people of
Louisiana have more reverence for, and roly more
trustfully upon, and are more likely to be guided by
the adv fee of the Father cf his Country, than by the
insane ebullition of heated partisanship which etna
nnted from Senator Slidell.
In bolmlf of the people of Louisiana, who are as
true to the Union as the needle to the polo wo pro
test against the right, of any party to stake tlie exist
ence of this Union in a sectional contest. Tin*
Union is the heritage of tho people, and whenever,
by any cause, it is endangered, tho conservative
masses, repudiating the suggestions or the aotiou ol
mere politicians,will be found ready, able and do
termiued to support, sustain and preserve it. from all
assaults, come from what quarter they may.
The people no notion of allowing the in valu
able legacy bequeathed to them by the Father of
the Republic to be hazarded In a sectional contest
between parties led, marshaled ami directed by po
litical agitators.
The Memphis (Tenn.) Eagle, in referring-to the
advice given by Wm. 11. Pot.k, in his Democratic
speech at. Murfreesboro’, that the South should not
“be deceived by the syren soug sos the Union,”
ironically says:
The cry would Haunt beautifully on their banners
Let them paint it there in black cfmracturs and bear

ry column, and whenever a gale blows and lifts it
towards the clouds, let tin; welkin quiver and rock,
and the solid ground shake with the roar of demo
cratie shouts. Let the nuo'ses of the people not “ba

them be taught that our history is alio, that.our
greatness h a bubble that ought 1o burst, and that
the agony, the sweat and the tears of our father*
were nothing. Let tin; dieunionist come with a
mop dipped in the hellish froth and foam of disun

How Hindi Ifc|MilflicfuiM Talk of Hr. Fillmore.
The New York T/mt‘s (Frkmgntkk) comments
upon Mr. Fii.lmouk's letter to Berrien, published
in our columns some days since, aud lets loose upon
him a column of abuse, characteristic of its party
“The South knows no such thing ns gratitude.'*—
Shall that reproach prove true in Mr. Fjlt.morf.'9
case ? Shall it be said oguin that the South will not
stand by those who stand by her ? If we desert
him how can we expect friends in our hour of need ?
What right shall we have to boost of our generosity
and chivalry if we fail to vindicate Mr. Fillmore
from the slMiub rs of his enemies and ours ? No,
others may do n» ©they will, but let Georgians at
least come up boldly and firmly, and range them
selves on the aide of the man “who Ims done acts in
our behalf lor whicli lie may well claim our grati
tude.” That our readers may see how their foes
speak of Mr. Fillmore, we extract a portiou of
the Times 1 article. That paper will, In November,
find itself mistaken in its supposition that Mr. Fill
more stands no possible chance of getting .Southern
votes :
Mr. Fillmohk lms certainly some strong ground*
for mich au appeal. lie has, indeed, “made sacrifi
ces' 1 for the South, and done acts in her behalf for
Which he limy well claim her gratitude. He aban
donc.d all ti.o principles of his early political life—
turned his back upon the North, which had placed
ils confidence in him—betrayed the interest and the
rights of freedom—etiered into a conspiracy with
the slave power in the Senate, through hangman
Foote, of Mississippi, ngaiust the Free-Soil Admin is
t ration of President Taylor, through whose strength
he had himself been elected Vice-President, and
threw the .whole weight of his official influence, as
President, intoihe scale of Slavery.’Ho forfeited the
respect of his (rid constituents—bet rayed their in
teresta and sacrificed their rights, as well as lout,
irrecoverably, their confidence and support. This
v, ns a service to Slavery which merits gratitude.
And it naturally galls him a little to find that, in
spile Os it all, he stands no possible chance of get-
Lr.g Southern votes, lie is realizing, in his own
case what so many better men have experienced
before him—that- tin; South knows no such thing «i
gratitude—tliftt it uses Northern men os tools for
the accomplishment of its purposes and then throw*
them away—that it debauches them and then turns
them into the streets to gain a livelihood, if they
can, by political prostitution—or to drug out a mis
erable existence os objects of mingled pity aud po
lit leal scorn. The South looks to the future —not the
past. Its gratitude is for favors expected. It. will
give its vote for Buchanan —in spite of the good in
1 tuitions, and fair promises, and tearful entreaties of
Mr. Fillmore. It prefers the open indorser of tht
Nebraska villainy, and author of the Ostend Man
ifasto, even to the signer of the Fugitive Slave bill
The Wooly House.—The origin of this term,
i • \y so common in political discussions, is os fol
low;* :
About six years ago, acute Jonathan exhibited
au animal in various places in the Northern Stales,
which he advertised as a “nondescript captured by
< :o!. Fremont and his party on the river Gila, New
Mexico.” Upon the arriva’ of the exhibition in
VV ashington, Col. Benton requested a correspond
ent of the National Intelligeucer to any that “it was
n gross imposture upon the public, aud an outra
geous abuse of the name of Col. Fremont." The
correspondent proceeded to say that it was reported
in New York that the animal was purchased of a
colored man iu that city, who had for some time
used him in hauling an ash cart. It is certainly
nothing more than a bad looking horse with curly
hair, and his inane and tail shaved off, to give him
the appearance of a “nondescript from tiio Gila
river. This is the brief history of the “Wooly
Ilorse.”
Since 1838 the gross produce of the gold mines of
North Carolina, as far as indicated by the mint re
turns, are $4,2*3,336, and of Georgia $5,685,864
total aud the aggregate expense of
maintaining them $39,000 annually or about S4OO -
000 fog the whole petted.
