Tlie following, says the New Orleans Cres cent, is au extract from a letter received by us a few days ritXc, Written by one of the most in telligent and respectable planters of Rapides 1 parish. It speaks for itself, ami does not re quire even a brief introduction. Therefore, wo lravo nothing to say further than -point it out tt Our readers as worthy of consideration. “'l’iie nomination of Fillmore will have one powerful effijct, throughout the country anil that | is, the bringing to his standard the mighty mass of old YYhigs, who either deiiouuced the Amer ican party, were hike-warm to tho cause, or stood ‘lookers on in Vienna,’ at the upheaving «f tliagreat political ocean. You are aware that I never was a Fillmore man. but ere his adminialraMon ended I wasjbrced, from politi cal hoi#sty, to say ‘well done good and faithful .servant,' lo; I iftsureyriu that we occasionally And a tliing.as political honesty.

Slaveholder as I am, I mustjxmfess to you freely, that there are btrtUhrCe tueifin (he North who could have got my support, viz : Daniel S. Dickinson, J. a'l. Uhi-ytqn, and .Millard Fillmore, belonging as Ida to tiie great Hanthern party—yclept the Firo-Eate'-s but not Disunionists—many of .whom believing, however, that ‘Americans should rule .America,’and that the American 'party is now national, are doing and intend to do good'seEvice in the great political struggle of I Sob-. ItOalhouu were living to-day. he would boa member of the Americas’ party !” American SiieWikrds.—George Y r . Kendall, who is engaged in wool-growing in Western Texas, writes thus to the New Orleans Pica yune: * •‘Hat you should see our flock tenders lierea j ways-oil the Indian frontier : I laughed out | right as one of them appeared before me, with some 80U sheen in charge. OrdinaVily we are I I woiit to look tipoh slnqiherds as peaceful folk: j j poets sing, of tfiern in gentle numbers, while j | painters spread them before us with crooks, on j l-t'u.-ir shoulders and perhaps lutes mak r»thcir awns, ready to pour forth simple lays to any j : rustic maidens Within hearing of their walks, j Rut instead cf enchanter!ug one of these,; you may judge iny surprise When a ferocious,! Fra Dialoloish looking fell&W stalked up,to me, ! a double-barreled gun onhisshofclder, a Bowie- j knife hanging oil one side,and of (Jolt's six shoot ers on the other, at the same time announcing, I from n mouth completely hidden behind a fierce | I surrounding of bearfl anfl moustache, that, he I was keeper of the flock ! si more brigandish I ! looking shepherd was surely never seen : yet'! i the arsenal- he carried about him he deemed all- j solutely necessary for his own protection | | against Indians. Orooks and lutes are all well j | enough in the older settlements, but the .Cum- J arches' are not to he charmed into good behu-1 vior by "such pacific contrivances. Another j flock tender, similarly armed, scon come np, i and it struck me that were all of them to enter j l the bureau of Mr. Jeff.

Such is protection. J Therehre to lie nine hundred and thirty-four • hotels, and two hundred anil, thirty-one eating houses in the city of I’hilauelphia, under the I new liquor law. Woman are some ox Vituperation.—ln a! street colloquy between Mrs. Smithers and Miss j Bender, the other day, the former lady told the ! latter that she was a skeleton man-trap a re- j mark which the party addressed reciprocated I by calling her antagonist a locomotive lying j machine, dressed in cotton batting. This was a clincher, and converted the verbal skirmish into a digital tussle, which resulted in the loss of eight artificial teeth and a sorrel wig. They dress cool in Illinois. A young lady being asked if she would wear"that bonnet to church, replied that the t vbuld’nt wear any ’thing Nxe. A Wag of au editor says that girls should never object to being kissed by editors, They should make every allowance for the freedom of tho press. Keep this in mind. It is stated in a. letter from "Washington that Mr. Herbert, who shot the waiter at "Willard's has given to the widow of the deceased, a neat house, settled upon her a handsome anrooity, and provided for the education of her chil dren. IV.VKK OF THE Moox at Night. —Mr. Carne, in his letters from the East, has observ ed : The effect of the moonlight on the eyes in this country (Egypt) is singularly injurious.— tho natives toil you, as I afterwards found they did in Arabia, to always cover your eyes when you sleep iu the open air. It is rather strange that the passage in the Psalms—“ The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the nioon by night" —should have been thus illustrated, as the ul lus.ipn.seems to,direct. The moon here really strikes and effects ths jight, when you sleep ex posed to it, much inpre than the sun, a fact of which I had a very unpleasant proof one night, and took eare to guard against afterwards. — Indeed, the sight of a person who should sleep with his face exposed at night, ivou and soon be impared or ‘utterly dcstnoyed. Devastation.—A subscriber writing from, the Choctaw country, on tho borders of Ar-; kansas. writes us that so great has been the re-! cent devastation of the locust throughout “the j Nation,” as that nearly all there have üban- j | doned their corn and cotton crops of the season in despair. Great consequent suffering on ac-j count of this affliction from Divine Providence , I is anticipated.-- -H'tuhington Star. ' America ami liuropc. The deed is doim. It l r. M'lttcy’s Inst despatch to England is bn. its way across the Atlantic. I and Mr. Crumpton, tho British Minister, and the .English Consuls at New York, Philadel phia ami.Cincinnati are nothing more than private subjccls of Victoria. After as ample an apology by Lord Clarendon as any honor able man could offer, it has been decided by the Pierce Cabinet to beard the English lion, in order to woo conclave. Ilow will Enghtml receive tljo news, and how will Parliament'sustain the British Ministry In'the ! course they may adopt, are questions asked on all silks. The decided tone of the London pTc3s ; (Vjnch is ibTruth almost the sole political • press of England) will have prepared tho peo ple for the Pierce coup d'etat, and urged upon theft all the remomberance of the I'act that : there is'a point beyond which forbearance cea-1 ses to be a virtue. Passports for that truly amiable gentleman, Mr. Dallas, whose brief j residence in England has been the occasion of a constant exchange of tokens of’esteem be tween him itni’ the people <«'that country, alike honorable to both, will be i jmHtided by r.xtne. ‘ und.pcihaps granted. If so, the traders of ftanehester will manner in vain; Mr. Oobden and Mr. Bright will be in 'a most decided'mi nority, and th ; intimate relations which Wive • existed unit)teriuptedty for more than forty years between the United States and Great Britain, Will he severed. ThisT.Ct. which is ‘in itself .not a ciihseof war, will undoubtedly" tend to Complicate and seuiotisly aggravate the dif ficulties attending the Central American Ques tion, which was tdrehdy overburdened "with troubles, The ultimatum of Ixini Clarendon cit the Ctaytou-Bulwer treaty,jt is generally under- j stood, wasreceived in Washington inure than a fortliight since-, but what action the'Fierce Cabinet have taken bn the offer to urtirilrate is unknown, Mr. Btiehanan’s jocular objection | to this plan last year was that Russia was the only abitrator we could name, and England was at war with her ; but this is no longer the case. Tp iibitrafp or to Sjjht seems now the question. If the former, it would be our ob ject to choose art- umpire from the four great Powers of the Continent of Europe. Sinister France, subtle Austria, or Vacillating Prussia co'uld not compare with noble Russia. -Her ; ! ministers are few in number, but of p"ofound j judgment aril of upright conduct To them ; we might safely’ entrust the solution of tho question, and anticipate an impartial ver dict. If war is to lie the policy, however, it be hooves usas men to calmly view our exact po sition, not only among ourselves, but with Eu rope. We know there are those to be found in our midst who believe with all sincerity that foraii internal complaint there is nothing like au exterhai remedy. K !l, ! sas fever, they think, can only be cured by English ointment "or court piaster. Our scepticism oil this point is very great; iu the first place we think tiie. fever was bred in Washington, and will lust as long as ignorant pruetiti mors are sent there ; and in the second case, we fear that the pro* posed remedy would prove worse than the dis ease. To declare war With this j boar would ensure the renewa of the active .fi lm nee between her and Franc -; indeed this is. probably apart of the progra. me which Louis ; Napoleon ties written for h;s action in file.- i Let us recall the scene which will substantiate j these words. Wliilcthe Russian war was at its height, ] the man who bad alone caused that smguina j ry contest. and who had taken upon himself’! the responsibility of planning the Crimean ex- i peditkm ajjd the inode of attacking Sebastopol, j decided that he would deceive tic proiii! guest \ of England. To suggest was almost to com-! mam), and Windsor Castle was prepared for • his reception. Not. Windsor Oastle alone, but j the Quit!kali of 'Lonfioti, tiie banquet chamber i of the merchant princes ol that city, was deck- j ed gaily to bid him welcome. Through the j streets of the great Commercial capital of the i world, slowiy passed the Emperor as countless \ thbifskiitTs jrJzed on his narrow brow, and cheer- j etl they knev/ not why; self-pressed, deadly! cold and stealthy in his tread, lie made.his way j to the hall, and having partake!) 6f the repast j rose to deliver the speech that he had enfihed ■ in every sentence. His theme was the alliance between England and France, and tiie object j of that alliance lie proclaimed was to put down slavery all over the world, lie who one mur derous night stole away the liberties of thirty- i five millions of French people, coolly said that j Anglo France alliance meant'the sftppTessiun j of slavery all over the wolrd. •Shall we attempt to delude ourselves, as i doth’General James Watson Webb, and pre- ! same that he intended to refer to all the world | with the exception of the United States? Far j better, we think, is it for us to meet the dan- | ger boldly, and decide that he most probably ! spoke the words after deep deliberation. His \ plans were matured in a prison, and have little of health in them-, but I hey are as stubbornly adhered to as are the links to one another in the stoutest chain. lie doubtless means war aghinst the liberties tff England aud the Uni ted States, and to accomplish this he can see j no readier way than to take part witii the j former against America. To destroy every ; bond of union between the two, to weaken i both and then to invade England and avenge Waterloo, are designs that seem not improba-| hie, when we closely study the character of the j man. As lie decided Russia would bo most j vulnerable in the South, perhaps he lias deter- ! mined that America is the same. If so, his wordt at Goidhall had a strange significance. Be this as it may, if England and the United \ •Stales wore now to declare war it would, we think, be playing blindly into the hands of the j prime depot of Europe.— Cliron. Scu. "Quite Natural! Our neighbors of the Times can see no use j for a farther existence of the American party. ; We presume not; pud that he ever saw any good in a party opposed to the modern “dem ocratic cohesion,” we do not believe. But it is so ordered in tho decrees of Providence that : men should not agree in all particulrs ; aud in politics they are farther apart than, in any other features of faith. Americans South, as a body, have uo affiliation with tree-soil men at the North, under whatever stripe they sail,, or by whatever name they are called. Hence so long as there is a party in existence, whose leader hugs smell meu to his embrace, or whose 6'rgf.u procir.imf. tr .he world that such men are a ‘ regular portion of the Democratic par ty” so long is it vitally necessary to keep up an organized opposition party. And if it be correct policy to abandon the existence of the American Party because “the masses of their brethren at the North have joined-the Black Republicans,” why does our | neighbor spend his time and talents in the | support of the Democratic organization, when ' the dark stream cf Freesoilism and Black Re publicanism permeate root and branch of the | Pierce party North ? The only Northern . Democrats that are really sound on these vital issues of the day. are scorned by Pierce and as yet unrecognized by tho so-called Democratic party- or its accredited organs North and South. In the name of consistency, why call upon your neighbors to pluck motes from their eyes, whilst beams of equal magnitude fog the lustre of your own visual organs ! —Columbus Enquirer. j A Minnesota correspondent gives tiie New York Herald some details regarding the pro posed buffalo huntand expeditieff to the salt springs of that Territory. The region in which these springs arc found lies between the 47th and 49th degrees north latitude, and 97th and 99tl> degrees west longitude. Our first in formation regarding it was derived from a sol di.-r in the expedition, spilt.'put to explore it [.froth Fort Saelling, by Maj or. 1 Long, in 1822- He says.that they had been traveling sev i cn|| days over ‘a vast rolling plain, with no i trees or water; the troops and horses were al most famished with thirst, when they came j suddenly upon the shore of a beautiful lake about half a mile r, diameter, sunk down in j the deep plain. It resembles a vast sink hole. tFrom a height above the waters a vast snow joank appeared to lino its shore ; but upon our examination it appeared to be an incrustation of salt as pure and white as snow. The wa j tors ,of tho lake were like the strongest brine. | So etrirfg was it bathing in it, upon j coming out, in a few mmV.tes V oid'd be cover jcd with a white crystalizrtion of saTt. If this salt region be as it is supposed to be, a rail road : projected into it would prove the best stock in the country, There are mines of un developed wealth, more extensive, more dhra ble-e.nd more important than all the gold re | gions beyond tho Rocky Mountains. A char j ter, granting excellent corporate privileges, | has been obtained froth the MiiihcsPfa. Legis lature this winter, for the salt Company, which Jis already organized. Many of tiie members j of this company will accompany tho expedition, and add interest to the buffalo hunt, in more I’iill y exploring and investigating these salt re gions. It was»tlie intention to commence, this expedition on the oth of June next.

Ho says : | “I to the consideration of those 1 | provisions of the Nebraska Bill, which have: ! been most forcibly assailed.

It is cer i tain that those who make this "charge have' never read the bill, comprehended its principles ; I otherwise, they stand convicted by the law it-j self of slating that which is expressly contra-; d:< t:d bv the'tcrms of the act.” Hdrc it is expressly declared that the man who says that it is either the intention or the legal effect of the Nebraska bill to extend slave ry into free territory, has never read the bill or does not comprehend its meaning. He goes on to show from history, that the bill not only does not enconrageiflavery, bnt must op erate to its exclusion. He says : “The, people of California, when left perfect ly free to do as they pleased, formed a consti ! tution prohibting the introduction of slavery.

It is signed by upwards of seventy thousand citizens of Califoania. and tiie whole constitutes two large folio volumes, elegantly bound np, with an illustrated title page of let ters sot in California gold leaf.

All warlike countries have been slave i states. It lurnishes tho sinews by which wart is supported. While other nations absolutely require from five to eight men to carry on in dustrial pursuits to maintain one in "the field, nearly our whole white male population, al ready trained to arms and warlike pursuits iu a degree far exceeding that of any other peo ple, is ready for defensive or offensive war ; and neither our brethren north of us nor any other nation can .furnish a similar example of proud independence. “The South Is accused of weakness, indo lence, and effeminacy. The strongest and larg est animals known to man have their nativities, thoir homes in the South. No Northern man lias a physical strength or physical endurance, superior to the Kroomen on the coast of Afri ca, nor can bear a greater, burden than the i Mexican ; and in relation to our own country, j i have before referred to the physical perfec- j t.iou and intellectual snpcriorfty of the natives j in the elevated parts of these Southern States, j The eomrarisen with aiOf pcop'e will hold good ! if applied to any portion of them. Indolence i does not belong to the Anglo-Saxon race, how- j ever it may attach to others, and finds its refu- j tation in every page of our history and on ev-1 cry acre of our territory.

A hurricane, or a late or early frost that destroys the cotton crop of a considerable • portion ot' the South, is felt in ail the markets of the world to the extremest range of civili zation.

Wasmsotok, May26.—The House Commit tee of Investigation waited on Mr. Sumner to day in discharge of their duty regarding the re cent, ersa'lt, He was in ted, bus gave 'Kit testimony and v;aa atco cross-examined. He was unable to sit up during the visit of the Committee, but did so a short time to day. Ho is st.il very weak, and his physicians counsel him not to move cut of the house for a week. The following is Mr. Sumner's statement on oath:—“l attended tho Senate as usual on Thursday the 22d of May. A ftef some formal business, a message was received from the llousp of Representatives announcing the dentin of tr, member of that body from Missouri. This was followed by a brief tribute to tho deceased front Mr. Geyer, of Mo , when, according to usage aniV out of respect to the deceased, the Senate adjourned. Instead of leaving the Chamber with the rest on tho adjournment, I contiuued in my seat occupied with my pen. While thus intent, in order to be in season for the Mail, which was soon to close, I was approached by several persons who disked to consult with me, but I answered!Them prompt ly and briefly, excusing myself, for tire reason that I was much engaged ; when the last of these'persons left me, 1 drew my arm chair close to my desk, and with my legs under the. desk, continued writing. My attention at thin time liras so entirely drawn from ail other ob ject-, that though there must- have boon many persons- in the Senate, I saw no body. While thus intent with my head bent over my writ- . ing, I was addressed by a pcition who approach ed the front of my desk, so entirely unoliscfV e.tV-at f was nut aware cf MS presence, until 1 heard my name pronounced. As I looked up with my pen ’in r.iy hand,- I saw a tall man, wliose countenance, tvas not famiiliar, standing direel ly over me, and at the same moment I caught these words: ‘T have'read your speech twice over carefully -it is a lihei on South Carolina and Mr. Butler, who is a relative of mine.” While these words were still passing from h's lips, he commenced a succession of blows with a heavy cane on my hare head : by the first of which 1 was stunned so as to loose sight. I no longer saw my assailant nor any other person or object ill 'lre rttom. What”l did afterward was dvtre, almost unconsciously, ac ing under t're n.'irStS of self-defence. "With my head already bent down, I rose scat wrenching up my desk which was screwed to tka floor and then pressing forward while my assailant continued lus blows. 1 had no other consciousness until 1 found myself ten feet forward in front of my desk lying on the fioor of the Senate, with my [deeding head supported on the knee of a gentleman whom I soon recognized by voice and manner as Mr. Morgan, of New York. Other persons there were about me offering friendly assistance, but I did not recognize any of them. Others there were at a distance looking on and offe ring no assistance, of v/hom 1 recognized only Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, Mr. Toomts, of 'Georgia, and. I thought also, my assailant standing be . t.veen them. I was helped from the floor and conducted into tire lobby of the Senate, where I was placed upon a sofa. Os these who help ed mo there I have no recollection. - - v As I entered the lobby I recognized Mr. Sli dell. of Louisiana, who retreated, but I recog nized no one else until I felt a friendly grasp of the hand, which seemed to come from Mr. Campbell. oT Ohio. 1 have a vague impression that Mr. Bright, President of the Senate, spoke to me while 1 was on the floor of the Senate or in the lobby. 1 make this statement in answer to the interrogatory of the Committee, and offer it as presenting completely all my recol lections of the assault and of tire attending cir cumstances, whether immediately before Or immediately after. I desire to add, that be sides the words which I have given, as uttered by my assailant, I have an indistinct recollec tion of the words "old man,” but these' are so enveloped ill the mists which ensued 1 freju .the first t, low. that 1 rim net sure whether they were uttered ernot. On cross-examination, Mr. Sumner said tliat he was entirely without arms of any kind, abd that he had no notice or warning of any kind, direct nor indirect, of this assault, j In answer to another question: Tiff. Sumner replied - that what he had said nos Mr. But'cr was strictly responsive to Mr. Butler's ‘speech.’ The Coolie Trade. —The message of tho President concerning the Coolie trade, embra ces several interesting documents. On the 8(li of April, Mr. Crampton sent to Mr. Marcv the report of Cousul Morgan cn the capture of flic slaver Mary E. Smith, sailing under the slug of the United States, which says: I never heard or saw a more distressing cash of slave trading than the one the Mary K, Smith has offered. With a capacity of cnlv 122 tons, five hundred human beings were crammed into her on. tlie coast of Africa, of whom 133 bad perished previous to .hpr cap ture; and subsequently, till he! arrival'itt bVtj C 7 expired from exhaustion, consequent upon starvation and disease—their bodies being fa ten into by vermin. Os the remainder landed. 76 have been buried, and of the survivors 109 ace in the hospital, suffering fropi the diseas® contracted oil board. Snch is the deplorable result of this inhuman traffic. But as a retrib utive act of justice, the master and three sea men are likewise, at .present in the hospittni, dangerously ill from the effects of disease caught, from the unfortunate individuals whom thev were instrumental in tearing away from their families.
