Are. You Assessed
In order to vote it is necessary that stran
gers andnew-comers should he assessedin the dis
trict in which they have taken up their resi
dence atleast ten days before the electi2l. Friends
of BIGLER, see to it that you are all right,'
and.ready without let or hindrance to depusite
your ballot on the second Toes day of October.
air The" speech of Governor BI GLER, at
Montrose, Susquehanna county, will be found
on our first page. We ask for it an attentive
perusal. The Governor has planted 'himself
firmly on the Democratic platform, and all
the signs of the times clearly indicate that he
will be abundantly sustained by the people.—
What a different position does his Know-Noth
ing Whig cotnpetitor occupy, and how little
does the course of the latter merit the favor of
the honest portion of his own party.
The "Know-Nothing" Ticket
Two weeks ago we published the general
list of nominations made in the several Know-
Nothing Lodges of the County and now we
give the Ticket selected from them, which is
to be called an "INDEPENDENT Ticket," and
which the Deinocracy of the County were ex
pected to swallow without a- murmur. (We
copy it from the Examiner of Wednesday
last.) Fortunately, however, we were made ac
quainted with the details of the conspiracy iu
time, and were thusenabled to expose it in
our paper of TAsday as well as in the County
Convention on Wednesday, and thus were to
some extent at least, instrumental in saving
the Democratic party from utter ruin and
disgrace. But we claim no credit for this. We
knew the facts, and it was our duty to take
the position we did- T nO matter how much we
might be misrepresented, abused or maligned
(as we were) in consequence of our course. It
was enough for us to know the right, and we
cheerfully pursued it, regardless of consequen
ces to ourself. The Democracy of the County
can now see the fearful precipice into which
they were well nigh plunged, by a midnight
band of desperadoes and unprincipled faction
ists, front both the old parties.
But to the ticket. We advise our readers to
look tt itin all its details. Scarrit closely. Turn
it round and round. Examine its proportions,
—and see what a miserable rickety, ring
boned and spavined concern it is. We remark
ed truly there were some good men placed in
general nomination, but that this course was
pursued by the Whig leaders to blind and de
ceive the public. There was no intention from
the first to give these men a position on the
ticket—and such has been the result, as a
proof of which look at the ticket itself:
Congress—A. E. Roberts. New Holland.
Senate—John Wise, City.
A.ssombly—Wm. Hamilton. Paradise; Wm. R. Wilson,
City; John Rawlins, Martic; Andrew 31. Frantz, East Lam
peter; Jacob L. Gross. Ephrata.
Sheriff—Henry F. Benedict. City.
Prothonotary--J. Franklin Reirr ' art, City.
Register—William Kirkpatrick, City.
Recorder—David Paul Brown. City.
Clerk Orphans' Court—Jamb It. Long, Mt. Joy.
Clerk Quarter Sessions—Adam S. Keller. City.
County Commissloner-474hn Wttmer, Manor.
Directors of the Poor—Simon J. Young, City; Wm. W.
Evans, Little, Britain.
Prison Inspectors—J. M. Hess. Safe Harbor; John Bush
ong, E. Lampeter.
Auditor—E. H. Rhodes. Reamstown.
Coroner—Henry: W. liess. City.
Judge—A. L. Hayes.pty.
ga"ln jUSIICC TO Col. J. FRAN KLIN REIGART,
we have to remark that his name is used on
tie ticket without his knowledge or consent—
so be assures us—and that he is not a candi
date for any station. Mr. WIRE also declines
the / honor. It is also rumored that Mr. ROB
ERTS declines the honor of a Congressional
nomination. We sh•,uld not wonder if he did.
Mr. C.-Ross' name we presume, has also been
used without his knoweledge or consent.
To the Democracy of Lancaster county.
The withdrawal from the Democratic ticket.
of Col. William B. Fordner, as a candidate
for Congress, and Maj. A. D. Diu:lars, for Di
rector of the Poor, devolved the duty of filling
the vacancies (under the authoriz vested in
them by the first supplementary resolution,of
the County Convention) thus occasioned upon
s - the Democratic County Committee.
Tne Committee .met, agreeably to the call
of the Chairman, on Saturday last, and unan
imously placed in nomination the following
persons to supply the vacancies thus created,
viz :
CORgre3S—JOSEPII S. LEFEVRE, Paradise.
Director of the Poor—DAVID M. EBERLY,
Penn.
We have accordingly placed these names at
our mast-head, and ask, on theirbehalf, a cor
dial and energetic support from the Democracy
of the County: The ticket is now complete—
and we respectfully solicit the public to scan
the merits and qualifications of the several
candidates, being satisfied that, as a whole,
the ticket is superior to any other in the field,
add deserves to be successful. Of the qualifi
cations, &c. of the several candidates, we sIM . II
say something next week.
THE MAREETS.—The late foreign news has
had a tendency to depress somewhat the flour
and grain markets In Philadelphia and New
York, although holders have, as yet, been en
abled to keep up prices nearly at the figure
they were last week. The crops in Europe
promise to be very abundant. If this should
be so, prices must come down in this country.
The Snow-Nothing. Conspirators in Fs...
vor of Placing the Foreigner upon the
Social and Political Level of the Negro.
- The creed of the Know Nothing conspira
tors, 'says the Cincinnati Enquirer, may be
summed up briefly, as follows: An entire
and utter exchision of foreigners, who are al
ready in thili country and naturalized, from
holding any position of honor, emolnment or
influence, thusepriving them of one of their
constitutional rights as citizens; and a repeal
of the naturulftation laws, so that no foreign
er who may come .to this country in future
will be allowed 'to vote. Carry out these
principles; engraft thein upon our politicalsys
tem, for such the Know-Nothing conspirators
are endeavoring to doand all foreigners, Ca
tholics and Protestants, are placed upon a
level with the negro—or rather beneath him;
'for, in many of the free States negroes own
ing a certain amount of real estate are allow
ed to vote, which foreigners, under Know-
Nothing principles, would not be permitted
to do.
The fierce intolerant and proscriptive spirit
which animates the mass of those in the Bunt
line associations, considers the foreigner be
neath the negro in every respect. 'Many of
them, while they would elevate the negro
politically and socially with one hand, use
the other to strike down the white victim of
oppressing from the Old World, who has come
to this land under the impression that it was
the asylum of the oppressed of all nations. - In
the Know-Nothing Whig organs (for there is
hardly a Democratic paper in the United
States that is not opposed to the conspirators)
no term is too infamous and vile to be applied
to those of our citizens who are of foreign
birth. They are told that they are a curse to
the country = that they are Plotters against
our republican institutions—that nobody
would have cause to complain if they were
sent back in the ships that brought them—
that they are the dregs and offscourings of
Europe—unfit to live in a land of republican
freedom. By the degrading epithets which
are so freely applied to them in the journalists
of the lying, skulking-conspirators, our foreign
borri citizens can estimate the measure of
treatment they would receive if the principles
of the former should ever be allowed to sway
the councils of the country. Unless our adopt
ed•Tellow citizens are willing to fill that station I
in society now occupied by the negro, and be
placed in a position where the possession of
i wealth, talents and the most meritorious pol
itical principles can never elevate them to the
platform upon which stands the most degrad
ed native, they should use the .most strenuous
exertions, by the exercise of their political in
fluence, to prevent the happening of such an
event. They are to be a proscribed class of
community in case -Know-Nothingism suc
ceeds. Those who have already been natural
ized are to be rendered ineligible to office,
and other disabilities are to he imposed upon
them to indicate their inferior 'position in so
ciety.
The blow which the conspirators would
strike is aimed at them, as well as at all fu
ture emigrants who may make this country
their home. A spirit of narrow-minded, bigot
ed intolerance has marked them out for vie
! tiros. They are to be persecuted, as if they
had committed some heinous offence- against
our institutions. We much overrate the intel
ligence of our adopted fellow citizens if they
do not unanimously attach themselves to the
Democratic party, which, in accordance with
its tradititmal and long cherished principles,
has arrayed itself against this anti-republican
and anti-American crusade carried on through
1 the instrumentality of secret Buntline coon-
I oils.
Every foreigner who has a spark of self-res
pect and a spirit of independence, will resent
as a personal indignity this attempt of a mid
night skulking political organization to place,
him on a level with the negro. But deeply
as are the interests of naturalized citizens in
volved in the coming election, we consider
that Americans have still stronger motives to
induce them to vote against Know-Nothing
ism..which is but another name for opposition
to civil and religious liberty. As Americans,
we are proud of our republican institutions,
venerate the memories of their founders, and
are ardently.desirous to transmit them unim
paired to our posterity.
Opposition to religious tests for office, the
greatest freedomof conscience, the widest ex
tension of the right of suffrage, a belief in the
capacity of the masses for self government, are
'peculiarly American principles, and every one
worthy of the name will discountenance that
secret political organization which aims at
their overthrow, and the establishment in this
country of some of the worst features of Eu
ropean despotism. Our ancestors of 175 re -
sorted to arms in defence of civil and religious
liberty, and shall we, their descendants, allow
any portion of our fellow-citizens to be depriv
ed of the blessing resulting from them.
We do not hesitate to say that there is nor
an atom of American sentiment about that
man who will proscribe his neighbor, as the
Know-Nothings do, on account of the place
of his birth or religious belief. Any preten
sions he may make to it is the most tranpa
rent hypodrisy. Unless Americans desire to
change the appellation of this land as the
"asylum of the oppressed," into one of perse
cuting intolerance and bigotry—unless they
wish to falsify all their past professions in fa
vor of freedom, and lose the influence they
now exert in that cause all over the world,
they will array themselves against that party
whose principles as taught in the Buntline
councils, would be certain to have that result,
.and which has used the name of "American,
only that it may do more harm to the prin
ciples which that appellation inculcates.
" The Mountain In Labor."
Verily, the Mountain of Know-Nothingism,
which has had some violent paroxisms during
its protracted parturition, has brought forth
only a—MOUSE. We have heard, during the
last two months, a vast deal -of City cliques,
and the corruption in both the old parties of
the county; and it was reasonable to expect
that the would-be Reformers would do some
thing
and act out their professions in such a
way, as to preserve some appearance at least
of consistency. But what do we see ? Of
;twenty-one nominees on the ticket—no less
thin TEN are from the City, and the best of
fices, viz : 1 Senator, 1 Assemblyman, Sheriff.
Prothonotary, Register, Recorder, Clerk of
Quarter Sessions, 1 Director of the Poor, Cor
oner and Judge ! whilst the county gets the
balance. In other words, the Know-Nothing
leaders, in town, have taken the cream, and
left nothing but the thinnest and bluest skim
, milk for their dupes in the country. How do
the latter like it? We shall see by and by.
In contrast with the above, it will be seen
that on each of the regular Democratic and
Whig tickets, the City has butfice candidates,
whilst the county has sixteen ! Which, the i n,
of the three parties is most deserving the
charge of corrupt management and city dicta
tion? Facts speak louder than words, and are
—"stubborn things."
9.. The Maus ELECTIONIAS resulted in
the success of the Fusionist party—consisting
of Whigs, Anti-Fusion Whigs, Fusion Demo
crats, Morrill Temperance and Anti-Nebraska
'Democrats, Free Sailers, Fusion Free Soilers,

Comity Committee Meeting
The Democratic County .Ccimmittee of Lan

Chairman, at the Hotel of Emanuel_ Shober,
in the City of Lancaster, - onSuturday the 16th
of September instant- , -the Chairman and
seventeen members present.
tinder the authority given by the late Coun
ty Convention, the Committee placed in nom
nation the following gentlemen to supply va
cancies on the Democratic *ticket, viz;
For Congress--JosEPH S. LEFEVRE, Esq.,
of
Paradise, in place of Col. Wm. B. Fordney,
declined.
For Director of poor—DAVID M. EBERLY, of
Penn, in place of Maj. A. D. Ditmars, declined.
• The Chairman then read the pledges receiv
ed from the several candidates on the ticket,
to the effect that they were not in any way,
connected with "Know-Nothingism" and that
they would support the Democratic State tick
et—all of which were satisfactory, and, on
motion, directed to be published in the Demo
cratic papers of the County.
On motion, the following gentlemen were
appointed Senatorial Conferees to meet the
Conferees appointed by the Democratic Con
vention of Lebanon County, at Manheim, on
Saturday the 23d inst., at-1 o' clock A. M.,
viz: James L. Reynolds, Esq., City, Dr. Sam

Eby, Esq., Manheim.
The Commiltee then adjourned.
H. B. SWARR,
Chairinan
A. S. BARE, Secty
Inconsistency of Know-Nothing lam
Strange as it may appear, it
. is neverthe
less a fact, that the Know-Nothings, alias Bunt
line conspirators of this City, whose creed
consists in a total proscriptiOn and exclusion
of all foreigners from every public trust—who
would put the badge of odium upon them, and
entirely repeal the naturalization laws—have
the unblushing effrontery to ask a portion of
them to assist in their own degradation by
voting the ticket that has been agreed upon
by the Know-Nothing Order—and this in the
very face of their defeat of Mr. KRAMPH, a
Protestant foreigner, at the last School elec
tion in Lancaster 1 The impudence orthese
men now, in their approaches, to foreign Pro
testants, is unparalleled.
In accordance with their lying tactics, they
tell this latter class of men that they are only
making war upon the Catholics—not foreign
ers in general—and invite their help in such
a cause. The Father of Lies himself could not
utter a more bold and unblushing falsehood.
Their proscription extends, as we said before,
! to all foreigners, regardless of their religious
opinions. The Irish Orangeman, the English
Episcopalian, the Scotch Presbyterian, and
the German Lutheran, are equally the objects
of persecution with the foreign Catholics. All
are struck down by the same blow of intoler
ance and bigotry. For additional proof of this,
I look at the avowed proscription by the Know
Nothing Mayor -of Philadelphia, who has
boldly avowed his determination to appoint
none but native born citizens to office. No one
but Americans, whose fathers, as well as
themselves, were natives to the manor born,
are qualified for admission into the secret
councils of the conspirators, .who intend, by
means of these modern Jacobin clubs, to rule
and govern the country, contrary to the letter
and spirit of the Constitution.
Speaking of this loathsome and miserable
crusade against foreigners, a contemporary
remarks
It cannot be possible that any naturalized
voter will, by his own influence, assist in the
degradation of a class of people in which he
will be included. • His interests, as well as
self-respect, forbid it. We care not what his
political predilections may have been hither
to; for this is a contest in which the only
questions will be, shall all the naturalized cit
izens of this country be deprived of their con
stitutional rights? and shall citizenship be
refused to all future emigrants'? The mem
bers of the :Buntline lodges take the affirma
tive of these issues—the Democracy the nega
tive. The latter, by their efforts to maintain
inviolate the constitutional policy of WAsit-
INGTON, JEFFERSON and their compatriots in
reference to , -foreign emigration, have every
right to expect the unanimous assistance of
those whom the Buntlineites would proscribe
and persecute. Unless all motives which us
ually govern human conduct are set at naught,
and a blind and senseless caprice followed in
their stead, the Democracy will receive the
support of naturalized citizens, not only here,
but throughout the country, in one unbroken,
solid column.
Laying aside upon this occasion all their
former differences, they should rally as one
man against the bigots and proscriptionists
who are endeavoring to persecute them and
make them odious to the country. if they do
so, the success of the conspirators is an entire
impossibility, and they know it. Enough
lAmericans cannot be found who will so far
. prove recreant to the doctrines of the Decla
ration of Independence and to the principles
of the Constitution, as to sustain an organiza
tion so diametrically hostile to them as the
Know-Nothings, who, in case of success, would
strike out of the latter some of its best features.
The land of WASIIINGTON and JEFFERSON will
continue to be in the future as it has been in
the past—the "asylum of the oppressed," and
will be forever consecrated to civil and religi
ous liberty, unless those against whom the
fires of persecution are threatened consent to
be willing victims.
Joseph R. Chandler
This gentleman—the ablest Whig represen
tative that ever the city of Philadelphia sent
to Congress—has been proscrihed by the
Know Nothing Whigs of his district, and Jos
R. TYSON, Esq., nominated in his stead. The
cause—Mr. Chandler happens to adhere to
the Roman Catholic faith. A portion of
his Whig constituents, however, who are
opposed to this unrighteous proscription,
have nominated him as an independent candi
date for Congress, and have also nominated
an entire Legislative ticket, in opposition to
the Know-Nothing caucus nominees. We
shall see whether honesty and toleration will
prevail over dishonesty and proscription.
'Joshua W. Comly
The Whig County Committee have nomina
ted for Associate Law Judge of this County,
JOSHUA W. COYLY, Esq., of Montour county.
Speaking of the nominee, the Independent
Whig, (one of the Whig organs of this City,)
says : "We regret to say that he has a fatal
disqualification for the exercise of the duties
of a Judge. He is quite deaf—so much so as
to render it difficult ,for his friends, in daily
intercourse, to make him understand what
they say. This misfortune would greatly
embarrass him on the Bench, if it did not ren
der him totally inefficient."
This allegation is denied, to some extent, by
the Silver Grey leaders in this City—but, we
apprehend, there is more or less of truth in it,
as the charge would hardly be made without
some foundation.
War ASHAMED OF g,?-If Know Nothing
ism has sprung into 'existence from pure mo
tives and justifiable ends, why do men who
belong to the order shirk all questions, and
deny their connection with it? If it is an ,
order established fur high and holy motives,
why do those who belong to it deny the fact?
If it is not a political and religious crusade
against one denomination alone, why make it
a secret midnight conclave ?
Ah ! these questions are easily answered.—
The editor of the West Chester .Teffersonian
having come in possession of a list of the
members in that place, he was waited upon
by a number of them, who begged of him not
to publish it, as it might injure them in their
business! The editor further states alit at
the succeedifig meeting many entered the Hall
with masked faces!
We shall 'anxiously await the great and
good ends to be accomplished by an order
which men are ashamed of, or too cowardly
to avow an open connection with.

H. B. swarr, Esq.: —ln reply to your cir
cular of the 7th ink. requiring of me a writ
ten pledge, as a candidate for the Legislature,
nommated by the late Democratic Convention
of this county, that I am not directly or indi

and that I will support the entire "Democratic
State Ticket." I would say that I was pres
ent in the Convention as a delegate from Eph

was adopted. I not only agree with the pro

connection ither directly or indirectly with
the secret asSociation termed "Know. Nothings;"
on the contrary, I have always been a firm
and unwavering Democrat.
In reference to the "Democratic State Tick

I shall spare neither time nor labor in endea

of the 7th inst., in reference to my acceptance

every nominee of said Convention to say that
he is not "directly or indirectly connected

support the State Ticket''—adopted by the
Democratic Convention. I can say to you, my
dear sir ! that I have no connection either di

Know Nothings, and that I will support the
entire Democratic State Ticket. With these

as these, I subscribe myself, yours &c:,
IeMtME
The State Debt Reduced
, Our readers will no doubt be pleased to
hear that under the administration of our pres
ent able Executive, the State debt has been
largely reduced during his present term of of
fice. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
have made a report of their operations during .
the last three years: from which we learn tha:
there has been paid and extinguished . of the
public debt of the Commonwealth, five hun
dred and eleven thousand, one hundred and
fifty-nine dollars and thirty-one cents, and
the certificates of stock representing that sum
have been cancelled. In addition to this the
sum of two hundred and sixty-four thousand,
one hundred and forty-two dollars of relief
notes have also been cancelled and deStroyed,
leaving a balance in the hands of the State
Treasurer, applicable ty the same purpose, of
oue hundred and twenty-eight thousand, six
hundred and forty-eight dollars and eighty
four cents, making in all a reduction of NINE
HUNDRED AND THREE TH&SAND,
NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS
AND FIFTEEN CTS. of public debt; Think
of this, ye tax-payers, when you come to cast
your votes on the second Tuesday of October.
The State debt reduced nearly one million of
dollars! The Whigs have been endeavoring to
create the impression that Governor Bigler
has increased the public debt. What will
they say now, in the face of an official state
ment, showing that it has been so largely l re
duced? By an economical administration of
the government, Governor Bigler has been
enabled to wipe out of existence this large
amount of indebtedness, and does he• not de
serve the plaudit of '`well done thou good and
faithful servant."
Things to be Remembered.
4Auring Gen. WAsurcorox's administration
a law was enacted by Congress, with• his ap
probation, granting the rights of naturaliza
tion and citizenship to Foreigners after a resi
dence of two years in the country. This was
altered by the Federal administration of the
elder ADAMS, who succeeded Washington, to
fourteen years ! But when Mr. Jefferson, the
great Apostle of Democracy, came into power
in 1801, the time of probation was reduced to
FIVE YEARS, where it has ever since re
mained. In his first Message to Congress,Mr.
Jefferson said:
I cannot omit recommending a revisal of
the laws on the subject of naturalization.—
Considering the ordinary chances of human
life, a denial of citizenship under a residence
of fourteen years is a denial to a great portion
of those who ask it, and controls a policy pur-:
sued from their first settlement by many
these States, and still believed of consequence'
to their posterity. And shall we refuse the ,
unhappy fugitive from distress that hospitality'
which the savages of the wilderness extended:
to our fathers, arriving in this land? Shall:
oppressed humanity find no asylum on this
globe? • The Constitution, indeed, has wiselyi
provided that, for admission N certain offices;
of important trust, a residence shall be re-!.
quired sufficient to develop character and de
sign. But might not the general character and;
capabilities of a citizen be safely-communica
ted to every one manifesting a bona fide purpose
of embarking his life and fortuhes permanenti
ly with us. . 1 $
On this great and broad Democratic plat
, form the country has securely rested and,'
prospered for fifty years—and now, after thei
lapse of half a century, am the proscriptive;
intolerant Federal doctrines of - old John Ad;
ams sought to be Tevived in' all their hated
and bloated deformity, by a batch of corrupt;
unprincipled damogogues, who would, if. they
had the pon•er, trample the Constitution of,
the Republic under foot, if so be that, upon its
ruins, they might crawl into power. '
JAMES POLLOCK, the Whig and Know-Noth
ing candidate for Governor, is oneof these mis
erable, grovelling demagogues—and it is foir
the people of Pennsylvania to pronounce their
verdict of condemnation upon him at the bal
lot-boxes on the second Tuesday of October.
That they will do so, no reasonable, man can
doubt for a moment. They turned their backs
upon the elder Adams with loathing and diS
gust, and theywill do the same with the con
temptible demagogue who is following in 14
footsteps.
LEBANON COUNTY.—The Democratic Con
vention of Lebanon county met last week and
nominated a full ticket. The candidate , for
Senator is WILLIAM ST(EVER, of Myerstown,
who is said to be a sound and reliable Demo
crat, and a highly intelligent man. We have
placed his name on the Democratic ticket Of
this county along with Mr. WORLET'S. Their
Congressional nominee is Amos R. BOUGIIT4,,
Esq., of Lebanon. • •
ler LEMUEL TODD, Esq., - of Carlisle, (Dem .
ocrat,) has announced himself as an Indepen_
dent candidate for Congress in the Distrfot
oomposed of Cumberland, York and Perry.—
We presume the Whigs will have no candi
date in the .field—and the contest will thei
fore be between him and Mr. BoNRAN, the reg - 1 1
ularly settled Democratic candidate.

I.o=o3eptember 11, 18. cl.
The melancholy news ,of the. of Air. F. T. Au
brey, was received in our city yesterday. Mr. A.
was one of the most daring and- enthusiastic travelers of
the age. Some time since he left this city for Wit - Grids
with several thourand heed of abeejg he was very success.
fullin getting them there, and hid realized the handsome
Mani of 0,000. With his great spirit and energy, be
upon a wager, to make the trip from San Francisco to Santa
Fe, in twenty-two days. This he Accomplished. On the
20th of August, Aubrey and -Major Welghtman got into
soma difficulty at Santa Fe, and the result was Aubrey was
stabbed, and died immediately. Maj. Waightman was for
a Delegate in Congress from New Mexico, and was
an officer In the Army during the Mexican war. We have
not yet received,rthe full particulars of this fataidnincontre,
and I give it to you as it has been related in this city. In
ISIS, Sir. Aubrey was known to 13S as a merchant of great
enterprise. connected with the Santa Fe trade, going to and
fro with groat promptness and succmma but it was not until
1545 that he performed the journey between Santa Fe and
luderendence, which gave to him his fame for perseverance
and personal endurance. On the 12th of September of that
year, he left Santa Fe w ith the intention ofmaking a quick
trip to the States, and he certainly accomplished it. He
made the entire journe, of eight hundred miles, in fire
days and Men hours! II the traveling time only be
counted, the exact time was four days and a half During
this time he slept two hours only, and ate six meals. Ile
broke down six horses, walked twenty miles on foot, and
he had to endure rain for twenty-four hours, and travel
nearly six hundred miles of the distance In the mud. By
the aid of a steamboat, which he found at Independence
landing, he made the whole distance from Santa Fe to St.
Louis in a little over ten days-1,20U miles. No one ac
companied him over the prairies, and a portion of the laud
trip was at the rate` of one hundred and ninety miles to the
twenty-four hours. This journey earned for Mr. Aubrey
the sotibruput of the "Skimmer of the Plaines," and he has
worn It ever since, and the passion seems to have been in
nate, for we find It announced by the telegraph, that he
had Undertaken, fur a wager, to make the distance between
San Francisco and Santa Fe in twel.ty-two days. Suppos
ing him to have performed it, then, taking his trip iu DAS
from Santa Fe, be may be said to have traveled from San
Francisco to St. Louis in thirty-two days.
Mr. Aubrey was a Canadian by birth—not over, we should
judge. forty years of age—and in person not weighing over
145 pounds. Ile was quick In all his motlous—intelligent
and sagacious—and his success in overcoming difficulties
of every nature, proves how completely be had adapted him
self to the life which he loved so well.
A telegraphic despatch was received In this city oa yes
terday, dated Independence, 9th inst., which says:
On the loth ult., near Fort Liramie, a tight occurred be
tween Lieut. Grattan, in command of twenty-three soldiers,
and eight hundred ;Roux Indians.. AU the soldiers were
killed except one, and he was wounded.
After the battle, the Indians went to the American Fur
Companys station, and destroyed all the goods which they
could not carry off, amounting to ten or fir teen thousand
dollars worth. '
It is understood that two companies of troops have beeu
ordered from Fort Riley, to the relief of the garrison at. Fort
Ls:untie.
The number of U. S. soldiers, stationed on the frontiers,
are inadequate to the task they are constantly called upon
to perform. It is a mistaken idea that 10 or io soldiers eau
hold in subjection a band of SOU or 1,000 savage Indians.—
'Thew Indians aro perfectly aware of the number stationed
on the Piains, as well as they know their own strength,
and they have within the last year or two taken advantage
of the few government soldiers placed there to watch their
moVements. government should at once send out a strong
er force, or all that are there now may be slaughtered by
the made., Indians. It will take a strong army to subdue
these Indians, if they are not shortly checked and made to
suffer for the depredations they are continually committing
upon persons and property. Thenhave in their possession
rides and revolvers, and all other implements and weapons
of war, and are ready at the sear whoor tbr battle or . plun
der. The C. S. authorities should lose no time in redressing
the wrongs of our citizens, through the hands of the red
wen of the forest.
Some difficulty has sprung up among the Benton candi
dates—whose votes varied but little ' and the result was
so close, that it was deemed necessary for a re-count of votes
iu this county. It appears from which that Mr. tloodlet is
elected over Mr. Brown,- the editor of the Democrat, by one
vote. Mr. Bridge also contests with Mr. Rogers, to whom
the official returns show to be elected. A full count of all
'ine votes iu the, county will be taken over again. In Cal
loway county there is also a tic vote on the legislative
tbrket between a Whig and a Dewocrat.
The official returns of this State show the following re
sult fur the next Legislature Whigs, 60; Democrats, tin;
thmtou Deutumnts, 41. Phelps' official majority. over John
s..., in the I;th District, is 007.
The fulta;wiug are slid to be the official returns of Iowa:
Grimes. Wilb , ' and Abolition Uovernor, 1,500 majority;
Thorningbm,Whig Congrcsswan, 1 , 050 maj.; Cloud. (Dem.)
Att,ney tieneral, 1,o00; and Hall, (Dent.)is said to be eie,
tell by a small majority. State Senate 15 Lemuel:lts and 15
Whigs—one District to hear from. In the House, there
will be 35 Whigs to 32 Democrats.
lu Illinois, the lion. James C. Alen, the present weat
her of Congress,. and who voted for the Nebraska bill, has
been re-nomluated in the 7th district. The Convention
passed resolutions in favor of the ;Nebraska bill, and the
senators and Representatives who voted for it. There have
been four nominations made in Illinois for Congress, by
the Democracy, all of whom are Nebraska men.
'lire Oregon Statesman says the next Legislature of Ore
gon will consist of 2.:.; Democrats and o Whigs in the House,
sad 7 Democrats and 2 Whigs ill the Council.
The Nebraska lidatliam asks for information: "W here
are our territorial officers? and when will they assume the
duties of their respective offices?' I hear a great many
ioquiries ut the same sort in this locality, and also reiterate
the interrogattry—Where are they, and when will they
show their pretty faces!
A great deal has been said about the drought and the
crops throughout the couotry, and the most discouraging
accounts have found circulation through the press, calcu
lated to create a wrong and injurious impression. A gen
tleman extensively engaged in the pork.packing business
. .
at Keokuk, lowa, informs me that good crops of corn will
ho raised in lowa, and that he expected to kill as many
hogs the coming as he did the past season. Four dollars
Is talked of, but he is of the opinion that prices will rule
below that figure. Id many parts of lowa the corn crop
was never better than it is this season, and with consider,
able old in the cribs the entire supply will not be much,
if any, short of last year's.
In Kentucky, the Danville Tribune says, that In some
parts of that State the dorn crop will not be a half average,
whilst in other sections it will turn out very good. Sales
have been made in the field at $2,50 per barrel. In Ten
nessee, the Yeoman says the corn crop is very bad, though
not so bad as some would have us believe. The wheat and
oat crop is remarkahly.guod. In Illinois, the Peoria Re
publican says, we must confess we were unable to find evi
dences ura alavrt cola& crup durius our tour through tho
district, the farmers in this section will produce au aver
age erg) if not more. lam of opinion, after all that has
been said concerning the drought, we will have corn guito
sufficient to supply the demand, but more than likely at
very high prices.
The Western rivers are unusually low—none but the
smaller class boats are now running, and they find great
difficulty to navigating the different creeks. Freights, in
consequence, are exhorbitant, and but very little shipping
is done. We have had no arrivals from the Ohio river fu
some limo. That stream is lower now, than it has heel
since 1505. lidys are wading across that stream at th.

1 am again called upon to record another murder in our
city. A unin named John O'Donnell was killed on Thurs.
day last under the following circumstances: O'Donnell
boarded with a man named Thos. Dowling, about a year
since, and when he quit the house of Dowling he left the
stun of 64 unpaid. A short time since O'Donnell called at
Dowliug's house and paid Mrs. D. 52 of the debt, and re
marked that he intended to kill her husband. lle then
went to tin, shoemaker's shop where Dowling was at work,
and informed him that he was going to kill him, at the
same time striking Dowling behind the ear with his bat—
he struck hint the second time, at which D. rose up, and
grasping his shoemaker's knife iu both hands, stabbed him
to the heart. O'Donnell staggered, fell, and died in a few
moments. Dowling gave himseil up and is now in jail.

The workmen are still engaged at the Messrs. Adetters'
great Artesian Well, in the northern part of this city. They
nave new Urea about six years engaged iu the boring of
this well. • They commenced the work by hand, but when
they reached a depth of some two hundred feet below the
surface of the earth, it was found necessary to employ the
agency of steam. - Since then the, work has progressed
rapidly . until the present time„ when the incredible depth
of ficenty.tice/:unored jest has been reached. This is singly
the deepest Artesian well in the world, to say nothing ut
the distance they will be compelled to still bore. 'Tire wa
ter from this well is intended for Belcher's immense :Sugar
Refinery. They will continue the work until the desired
vein of water may be reached. It is said that when the
vein of water is reached, the force will be sufficient to carry
it to the height of look feet. A gentleman who has taken
the pains to examine into the mode of working this im
mense and almost incredible enterprise, says:
The presence of one or more persons is constantly re•
quired for the purpose of turning the drill around In the
bore, us its vertical motion continues. At present the op
erators are engaged in enlarging the cavity at the point
where the sot t slate stone occurs, fur the purpose of intro
clueing a copper tube to prevent the continual caving in of
the sort particles which are constantly sloughing from the
sides. It e are told that this falling in of the blue slate
stone had left a cavity as large as perhaps a good sized
house. We believe ft is the intention to introduce copper
pipes from the um to the bottom of the well, as soon as it
Ls finished, although the hard, rocky sides would seen, to
make it unnecessary. The object to be gained by this is to
shut out the various kinds of waters from the sides so that
the pure stream day mach the top without any mixture.
At the depth of 700 [bet a vein of salt water was struck,
and at l,Soo feet an immense vein of sulphur water burst
forth, which has been running ever since its discovery in
a large stream from the mouth of the well. This water is
the same as that of Blue Lick Springs, in Kentucky, sup
possesses a purity and freshness of taste quite superior to
that which reaches no in barrels and casks. It is curried
off by a large sewer, leading to the river. It seems too
wasteful that such profuse quantities of this celebrated
water should be permitted to [low away,, but the Refinery
needs the clear, Unadulterated element, and It must have
It and nothing else. Other medicinal waters have been
discovered, we believe, but they have been of little conse

This Is au Artesian well as Is a well, and when comple

Southampton, arrived at New York, on Tues
day last, bringing-London papers.of the 30th
ult. The Belgian Ministry have resigned.—
The news ~Of a great battle before Kars, in
Asia, is confirmed, but not the alleged 'victory
of the Russians: It is described as a iangui
nary but indecisive action, I with a los of five
thousand men on both sides. The conflagra
tion at Varna was the work of Greek incendi
aries, who were detected Ounce and instantly
slain by the British troops', ; The loss akuounts
to ten millions of francs. !The magazines and
stores of the allies were saved with gneat dif
ficulty. In the Dorbrudscha seven thousand
French troops out of fourteeu thousand there,
have died from the cholera. There ere also
melancholy accounts of the ravages of the
same disease among the allied fleets in the
Baltic. The French - troops have re-embarked
from Bomarsund, and are expected to 'make a
descent on Finland, west of Helsingfors. As
regards the expedition to the Crimea ,there is
nothing positive, but it would probably leave
Varna on the 20th of August, consisting of
seventy thousand men, in six hundred trans
ports. Baraguay the Freinth Gen
eral, is said to have offered the King!of Swe
den; a subsidy of fourteen t 'millions of francs
for the first month, andlitlf as much for the
following months, to join 'the allies.;. In the
Swedish Diet the lower hnuse have proposed
a petition to the King, asking that measures
be adopted to prevent thei Aland Isles from
turning to the dominion of Russia. German
papers announce the approaching, conclusion
of a treaty offensive and defensive between
Austria and the allies, the preliminaries being
settled. In Spain the gtiver,nment has bor
rowed sixty-five millions ofireals on the secur
ity of the Cuban revenues. The Queentinother,
Christiana, has left Madrid, and is supposed
to have gone to Lisbon. The new steamship
-City of Philadelphia arrived at LiVeepool, on
the 27th, from Glasgow. Brcadstuffs have

Native Americans and We Irish, took place
on Sunday evening week. Several hundred
persons, variously armed with murdeious wea

The military were immediately called out,
and though they arrived too late toi prevent
the shedding of blood, yet , they prev4nted the
renewal of the fight.
The Cholera broke out in Pittiburg, on
Wednesday, and near one hundred de4ths have
occurred. The disease is iLbating.

and certain of restoring nature to its proper channel. In

invariably open those obstruct Inns to which;females are

.ealth is restored, and the pale and deathly Countenance
changed to h healthy one. Nu female can enjnggo e d h e alth '

general health begins Immediately to declihe, and the

want of such a remedy has been the cause of sin many con
