like other folks.'
Eighteen Hundred and Fifty. Fons.
Theyear Fifty-Fodr, says a contemporary, is
nearly at an end. A few days more, - and its
shadow will have drifted forever from among
us. It has been a good, pleasant year to many
Pans, strewing untold blessings on our peens,
and crowning life with unfading loveliness.
To others it has brought only griefs and sor-:
rows, shattering the skeet shrines of Hope,
and pulling down from their pleasant niches
all the deities of the household. Some it has
brought to the marriage altar; others it has
carried to the grave; some it has crowned with
the halo of conquest, where the reaper's song
floats over the summer fields of Life; others it
• has shrouded in the shadows of defeat, and
rendered desolate by the baptism of Despair.
Many a strange thing and wonderful has there
been performed in the year 1854 ! The Old
' Year is going rapidly hence—what testinpuy
shall itbear of us at the Great Tribunal ?
Shall it tell of time unimproved, opportunities
wasted, energies sqiiandered ?—or shall it
speak our praises as honest men and true,
and secure for us the plaudits of the angels ?
If we have clone our duty in all things through
out the year, we need not fear unfavorable
testimony in the Upper Court; but if we have
not rightly performed our duties, we should
hasten to redeem our errors ere it be too late.
The year is almost gone, and they who would
earn and receive its blessing, before it drops
away, must move quickly—earnestly. There
is not a monieut to spare.

gee' CUT. LEIDIANOWF.K.I, is lecturing in Phil
adelphia, on Napoleon and his Wars. Col. L.
commanded Et%Polish Regiment in the memo
rable campaign of 1812, and Was previously
with the French army in Spain: We heard
him deliver a series of lectures on the same
subjects sonic ten years, ago, and never listen
ed toanything Tore interestingand instructive.
His description of the great battle of Borodi
no was exceedingly graphic and spirit stirring
The Col. is now abouf eighty years of age, but
still retains his mental faculties unimpaired,
we are told, and hiN the same military bear
ing and commanding appearance which he
had when we saw him, For many years he
has boon au acceptable member of the Minis
tory in the Lntheran Church, and' we should
judge...hat he isquite as successful in combating
the enemies of our holy Religion, as he was
in fighting under the banner of the great Cor
sican.
Would it not be well for some of our firom
inent citizens to extend him an invitation to
visit this place. and delivers course of lectures
here? We R.el cure that, notwithstanding
his foreign birth, our citizens of all classes,
Knoze-Nothinys 'winded, would be highly ed
ified and instructed by the aged veteran.
' Hon E. MESTER has our thanks for
a handsome ly.ond copy of DE Bow's "Statis
tical View of the United States," being a Com
pendium of the Seventh Census. This is a
valuable work for reference—as it embraces a
description of the territory, population, moral
and social condition, industry, property and
revenue of the country—with detailed statis
tics of cities, towns and counties. Published
by authority of Congress.
It is stated in some of our exchanges
that FRANcisL GatND. the Washington eel--
respondent of-the Ledger, is to be appointed
Consul to Marseilles. We hope not. Surely
the President does not know the character of
this Siti,s wen-roar /I , or he would not for a
moment think of giving him an appointment
of the kind, when there are so many worthy
men who would gladly accept it.
We have received a beautiful engra

and proprietors of the Public Ledger.. It is
the production ofJohn Sartain. after a Daguer

life-like picture of the original --so much to
that no one can mistake who it was intended
for.

FiIIII4IICOII of the State:
As the new year • approaches, may we not
indulge a hope that the excitemeneand
anxi
ety that have so long 9haracterizeil,tha
bnei
ness community, especially an the Urger_ oi
.
ties, , will subside. - The condition of affairs
New York, Philadelphia, taltimore, &c.
fortiveral months has been - bad enough, and
_
-the -wonder is that no more failures have
curred where money:commands from 20 to 30
per cent. per annum, and "which affords such
a rich harvest to note shavers.
But, despite the storm that has overtaken
business circles, the finances of Pennsylvania,
under Democratio rule for the last threeyears,
exhibit a highly gratifying aspect. The rev
enues and expenditures ok the Commonwealth
for the year, are thus officially stated :
• RECEIPTS
From ordinary taxation,
Extra taxation and licenses,
Total taxation,
Revenue from Public Works,
Amottqt,
'EXPENDITURES.
By Interest on public debt,
" Support of public works, (in
cluding extra expenditures,) 2,294,000
." Amount applied to other ob
jects,
Deduct Receipts
Total, Deficit,
To meet this, there was a balance in the
Treasury, on the Ist inst., unappropriated of !
$1,240,928 72. It will thus be seen that there
will be a la7rge balance left, after paying all,
expenses, for the support of the State Govern- ,
ment, Common Schools, State Charities and
the Sinking Fund for the gradual liquidation ,
of the State debt..
It will also be seen from the above that the
revenue derived from the public works, not
withstanding the great decrease (30 per cent.)
in the rates of toll last year over former years,
amounts to a very gratifying sum. Had the
toll-sheet remained as it was prior to-1854, the
receipts from the public works would have
been at least $300,000 additional—much more
than sufficient to pay the interest on the
public debt. The Canal Commissioners will,
most probably, restore the original rates—and,
if so, the receipts fur the year 1855 will, in
all likelilmud, reach two millions and a
quarter.
There can be no doubt that, if the present
wise and eocnomical policy of Govern• Bun-
Lea is pursued by his successor, that, in a
year or two more ; the revenue from the public
works, (now that no snore extraordinary ex
penditures are needed for the Mountain Di
vision and the North Branch,) will be more
than sufficient to pay the interest on the ori
ginal cost of their construction, and leave a
large portion if the te.x annually assessed um
on the people, to bo appropriated to the extin
guishment of the public debt. •
MORT: ANON.
EX=SI
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Washington le.st week, declares
it as his firm conviction that "Know-Nothing
ism at the South is a misorp.ble sham." Right,
as far no it goes; but is'nt it a "miserable
sham" at the North, too? Is'nt it a "miser
able sham" every where? Is'nt its principles
"a miserable sham". e" Is'nt its objects `ta
miserable sham"—its leaders a "miserable
sham"—their claims to honesty of purpose a
"miserable sham;"and worse than all, its
"fears for the supremacy of Protestantism, a
"miserable sham." If it is not, in all these
particulars, a "miserable sham," then there
never was a "sham." . Said a disgusted Know'
Nothing to us the other day, "my experience
in the Order, is, 'that every third man at least
is an office-seeker. And as to the honesty of
this new party, it is all pretence. There has
been moire knavery, more dishonesty, more
corruption in its brief existence now, than
can he kid at the door of both the old parties
put together." And this is undoubtedly so,
our friend was right. It is a "miserable
sham." Under the banner of Protestantism,
with "Fox's Book of Martyrs" for a text book,
it seeks to enlist the prejudices of the ignorant
and bigoted against Catholicism; not because
it believes Protestantism in danger, bat be
cause its every "third man" wants office, and
to get that office nothing is too sacred for its
unholy hands.—Erie Obserrer.
"THE FORTUNES OF A DAY."—Six Thousand
Dollars Lost iu a Gambling Room."—About
a month ago it was announced that a poor
mechanic residing in Cincinnati, named Wil
liam L. Walker, had received intelligence of
the death of au uncle in Baltimore, by which
he came into the possession of nine thousand
dollars, an,in cash. He immediately went to
Baltimore, it is said, and finding that he could
not get possession of the money fur six months
sold his claim for $BOOO cash, thus losing
$lOOO. The'Cincinnati Gazette says:
Overjoyed at the success which had -attend
ed him, he hastened to his home. Five hun
dred dollars was expended the next day after
his return in purchasing new furniture, &c.,
for his house. The old furniture was sent to
Woodruff's, and disposed of at auction, the
whole being sold for $47, such was its inferior ~
character. Walker, with his little family,
rented a house on Longworth street at $3OO a
year, and expended quite a sum of money in
having it repainted and whitewashed.
Walker feeling himself independent enough
to play the gentleman, commenced frequent
ing, the saloons and restaurants on Third
street in the day time, and theatres at night.
He made acquaintances speedily: and very
liberally treated them' to oysters and other
refreshments, and in return his new friends
invited him to play cards and billiards at
their expense. The new sphere in which he
was enjoying himself so eclipsed his better
judgment, that he was soon persuaded to visit
the gambling rooms. At first he won at near
ly every game, and accumulated nearly $3OO.
Night after night he continued visiting these
sinks of iniquity, one of which is located on.
Third street„ until he liad lost over six thous-'
and dollars of the fortune he had received but
a few weeks since. Walker says that when
he lost four thousand dollars of the money he
would have stopped, had he not expected to
get the snm back again by continuing the
game. He has now, however, stopped, and
has sought redress in one of our courts of jus
tice. Besides the fine furniture, clothing, &c.,
he purchased, he has only $1,700 of the $BOOO
left, but promises hereafter to remain at home,
and not squander what is left, but resume his
daily labor and attend closely to the interest
and welfare of his family.

''''Viiii - ajiiii t iliii)*iii iiiiiiiiiainCial: -- r
. - In the House of Representatives,a few days
ago, Gen. Walbridge, 'of New York, delivered
it - speech in favor of repealing the present dirty
off - Foreign coal. • He spoke of coal as "One of
the necessaries of life. Ithas become so with;
in this lait fifteen or twenty years. PreVibusly
the feel usedin domestic affairs was timber,
atatthe employment of coal for machinery pur,
.•, . ,
-poses wee - inconsiderable.' The advance in .
the mechanic arts, in motive power, by the
universal application of steam on railways and
ocean and inland navigation, ‘ has entirely
changed our relations to this important article
—in fact, has revolutionized the age in regard
to it. Yet it stands on the statute book of
1846, in schedule 0 of the tariff of that year,
as subject to an ad valorem duty of thirty per
, cent—equivalent to forty-five per cent, taking
1 into connrthe cost of freight and charges on
iits value in the country—and is therein com
-1 piny with the luxuries of life—"ale, porter,
i beer, and articles embroiderd with gold,silver,
or other metal!" This enactment continues,
notwithstanding the annual consumption of"
coal in the United States has reached, at this
period, about 10,000,000 of tons, the present
cost of which may be fairly estimated at from
$6 to $B-a ton at the place of consumption,
showing that the people of the United States
are paying for this one of the great necessaries
of life between 60 and 80 millions of dollars
per annum, under a tariff levied upon them
which, as hereinbefore stated, is full 45 per
cent protection. Nor is this protective prin
ciple of legislation respecting this great neces
sary of life of recent origin. • For we find,
since the formation of the government a heavy
restriction has been constantly laid upon this
indispensable article." Again, he said "Coal
has been forcibly described as the indispensa
ble aliment of industry. It is a primary ma
terial, engendering force, giving a power su
perior to that of natural agents, such as wa
ter, air, &c.. produce. It is to industry what
oxygen is to the lungs, water to the plant,
nourishment to the animal. It is to coal we
owe our steam and gas. It replaces in the
workshops and domestic hearths the charcoal
which had become too costly under the last
head; in our northerly latitudes it is destined
always to acquire increasing and more gene
ral use. The employment of coal will behence_
forward no other than a question of cheapness,
and in the present age the first interest of in
dustry is above all to see ameliorated the
ways of communication, to lower the tolls up
on the routes and canals."
Towards the close of the speech the follow
ing striking passage occurs, with which we
close our extracts, regretting that we have not
room for others equally forcible :
The means for the extraction of this one of
the great necessaries of life are at hand, and
all that human ingenuity and enterprise could
desire, and from these rich deposits a stream
of wealth, now swollen, flows into the coffers
of the producer. When we reflect that that
i article under a high protective tariff is be
, coming and to ii great extent has become, an
! indispensable anent in every household—that
it is daily growing into universal use for all
domestic purposes—that it is indispensable in
i the machinery which fashions with artistic
1 skill and elegance the-implements used and
necessary in every family—that it is equally
needed and employed in the manufacture of
' farming utensils and tools in the mechanic
arts—in travel by land and by water—indeed
for all the arts of peace, and equally indispen
sable in the art of war, and for all the means
of national defence, is there any reason why
there should be an oppressiveand unnecessary
tax upon that which so seriously affects the
interests of every citizen of the republic?
Every principle of justice demands that the
i shackles on this trade, which the existing
tariff imposed should be stricken off, and that
the traffic of this important article should be
opened to the freest competition.

FINANCES OF PEI‘'NSYLVANIA.—The State
Treasurer of Pennsylvania has made his an
nual report Er.. t!IP fiscal year ending on the
30th ult. The receipts of the year, (including
a previous balance on hand of $724,417,)
amounted to $0,678,088, and the expenditures
to 55,424,983, leaving an available balance on
hand on the 30th ult. of $1,240,928, against
5724,417 at the close of the fiscal year 1853,
being an increase of $516,511. The increase
form canal tolls is $24,369, and it is supposed
would have reached half a million had not the
tolls been reduced 30 per cent. The Philadel—
phia Ledger referring to this report says:
The temporary loans during the year just
closed is only $735,435, and of this sum $19,-
000 has already been paid, and $lOO,OOO
more will be paid in a few days. The tem
porary loans made in 1853 amounted to 84,-
205,333, to which, if we add $104,004 prem
ium on loans, gives an aggregate from that
source of $1,309,337. With a greatly lessened
amount of loans however, wa have the very
handsome balance of 81,240„928, with two
month's receipts, which will probably equal
expenditures. before the time for payment of
the next semi-annual interest. State tax
payers will feel gratification at this exhibit.

SILAVIZio TILE Faca.—Dr. E. Sanborn, of An i
clover, writes to the Boston Medical and Sur!.
gical Journal quite an interesting letter in
favor of wearing the beard. He takes the
ground that the custom of shaving the beard
among nations of men is always attended or
followed by a marked deterioration in the
physical organization, not only of the exist
ing race of people, but of the race to come,
and quotes examples from history to support
his conclusions. He says that the aboriginak
inhabitants of our soil and climate were onc l e
brave, powerful and numerous ; but they
waged war against nature by uprooting th 3
beard from their faces and consequently grew
more and more effeminate with every general
tion, until they became an easy prey to their
enemies and, are themselves uprooted froM
the face of the earth. He cites the Chinese!,
too, as a people, who have been shorn of theii
locks and of their strength together, till, as l a
nation, they have only a mere nominal exis
tence ; and he says of the Abrahamic race,
whose creed it is to preserve unmarred," the
corner of their beards," that he never saw te
case of pauperista, premature physical debili
ty, or premature disease; among them. 1113
says : , .
" The habit of sitaving is not of ' origin diJ
vine,' as thousands seem to think, but quit
the reverse. The ancient patriarchs, the hol
prophets,Christ and his disciples,and the earl -
er and probably purer Christians, deemed It
a violation of the laws of their nature. Alex
ander enforted it upon his army that the
y
might thereby gain a bloodier conquest. Th
nobility of Span-appted it through courtesy
to their beardless p'rince. The mass were df
course subjected to the humiliating procesi,
but expressed their repugnance to the out
rage in the vfell known proverb—` Since'
have lost our beards, we have lost our soul '
—that is, ourselves, our identity. We a
rather soulless slaves, than the men o
Maker made and designed us to be."
Dr. Sanborn concludes with calling upon
every freeborn son s of America to shake off ail
conventionalities which oppress humanity,
and especially such as insidiously tend tb
vitiate and depress the true manliness of man,
and he implores all mothers, sisters and wings
to second these efforts and exercise their goo'd
taste in creating and sustaining such purely
American habits and. fashions, as will to the
end of time render them and their descendanis
more excellent in all the relations of life. j

Shawnee Methodist ission,
K. T., Nov. 27th, 1854,
Gee. Sanderson, Er9.—Dear Sir: I have
just arrived from Fort Stxitt, one hundriM and
..twenty-ftye miles south-east of this, where 1
-went as a Special meitienger for Gov. t'. ; ;
to carry his proclamationotc., gifting /Skim' f
en electind for delegate to : Dongress, which
to be held'on the.:29th init. I left Poro LeaV,
enworthinit Satniday evening, -.the 18th, and
to•Sheltorneko, the Mort Man Mistdon,
where I remained until next morning. Leav
ing there I proceeded down the militarS , road,
crossed Saw river at the Quaker Mission, six
miles west of Westport', where myself and
pony were comfortably quartered for the night.
This - mission which is under the charge of Da
vie Thayer and Richard Mendenhall, is well
conducted, and has attached to it a boarding
school, in which there are some eighteen or
twenty Shawnee children being educated.
Tuesday, at noon, I ilfound myself at the
Miami Indian linage, and concluded to call
on Mr. Moore, the Agent of that Tribe, as well
as the Weas, Peorms, Kaskaskia.s and Pian
kashas, and found him', to _be the Hon.
Moore, formerly a leading Democratic politi
cian in New York. These tribes do not num
ber altogether more than about four hundred
souls. They are fast passing away, are read,
ing their doom in the setting sun. Being com
pelled tai go to Pottawattomie creek, 1. here
crossed the Osage river, and having no road
to follow lust myself. An Indian whom I
met, but who could nut talk English, voluu
teered to Show Ins the place I was seeking Ow,
for one dollar. But the Indian, by his signs,
'made me take the wrong road, and that night
I had the pleasure of sleeping upa the prai
rie, with no covering save a small horse blan
ket, and the starry canopy of Heaven. As
s;tu as day began to break, puny was re
mounted, and turning his head to the east L
made an effort to retrace my steps to the vil
lage; but striking a due east course, ur rather
following a road running in , that direction,
missed it, and about 9 o'clock arrived at the
house ufßattis Peoria, the Miami interpreter.
Gut a pretty fair breakfast, had my puny fed,
and by paying two dollars gut a guide who
took me across the Osage just above its con
fluence with Pottawattomie creek. In the
forks of these two, 1 found% number of east
ern men, busily engaged in erecting-substah
tial log houses. They purpose laying out a
town there, which will be called Osawattomie.
The spot is a most beautiful one, being on the
seven mile reserve, where it contemplated to
place the Capital of the Indian government, the
United States ;lane time purposed organizing .
in, KALIISIISI Mr. Orville C. Brown, the Agent
of dot Company, is a man of much intelli
gence. I dined with them upoit porter house
steak, broiled, and mince pie.
'file sun was about tin hour high when 1
lett foe Sherman's, the place of election in
that district. It was eight miles across the
prairie, and no road. Night came un before
I got to the neighborhood in which he lived,

fr,ll the hut was Sherman's, where baying
refreshed the inner man, again I took my way
across the prairies. That night I stopped with
a Ihmily who are certainly entitled to the sou
briquet of the dirty family. To be ,able to
eat at their table it became necessary for me
to strut toy eyes and ye it Wad. The table
cloth was a fix simile, of a dirty house cloth,
and on goihg to bed, I had a pralrahl demon
stration of the fact that the baby had lain in
it. To eat breakfast was next thing to im
possible, and a bite or two of some prairie
. chicken fried had to be quickly followed by
a sup of water, as there was great danger it
would not go down. The following night at
7 o'clock, the lights at Fort Scott burg upon
my view, and after partaking of a substantial
supper I was soon ensconced between the
clean sheets of mine host, Col. Arnott.
The country over which I' passed is high,
rolling prairie—but It cannot compare with
the land in this and the Delaware country.—
The streams are well icooded and susceptible
of supporting a heavy population. There is
lime rock found there in great abundance,
sufficient indeed to enable the farmers to fence
their farms with. Upon little Sugar e'reek
there is a vein of cannel coal, four feet.thick,
and it is said upon Mine creek, both of which
are tributaries of the Mairis de Cygnes, there
is plenty of lead ore. While at the Fort, Cu!.
Arnott presented me with a fine specimen of
lead ore,found upon one of the streams empty
inginto the Neosho river. It was almost pure.
Nothing worthy of note transpired between
Fort Scott and this place. I met a very large
number of Missouri fire eaters going into the
territory to vote; men who have no more right
to do so than has a citizen of Fennsylvagia,
who resides there. That these men will at
tempt to violate the purity of the ballot box
there is no doubt. But we shall see what we
shall see. More anon,

Leavenworth City, Dec. 4, 1854
Geo. Sanderson, Esq.—Dear Sir : In my
letter from the Shawnee Mission, I stated that
on my way from Fort Scott I met a large
number of Missouri fire eaters, going into the
territory to vote, and expressed the opinion
that they would attempt to violate the purity
of the ballot box. This opinion was correct,
for never in toy life did I witness conduct, so
shameful and outrageous, as was that of some
four hundred Platte cu. Mo. rowdies, who
came to this precinct, took' possession of the
polls, mind many of them perjured themselves
by swearing that they were actual settlers.—
Missouri
,courage was here exhibited. It con
sists in a half pint of whiskey, a Cult's revol
ver, and a bowie knife ! Men who were from
the free States were denounced as Abolition
ists, and numbers of the chivalry openly de
clared they would rather see Kansas sipk to
'ell, thin that it should become a free State.
More than fifty of the friends of Cul. Flen
niken, who was the National Democratic can
didate, did not vote, for they were peaceable
men and did not wish to raise a disturbance
at the polls. Two of the Judges appointed by
Gov. Reeder, the Rev. David Z. Smith and
Col. B. H. Twumbly, were fair, honest, hon
orable men; but the other appointed by these
fellows olaiming to be settlers was really a
citizen of Platte co., and was ready to assist
them in perpetuating frauds upon the ballot
box. He was selected in the place of one of
the judges who feared the Missouri influence
and would not-act. Messrs. Smith and Twom
bly were firm and decided, notwithstanding
they were fired at through the window, and in
I spite of the threatening letters , that were writ
ten them. In my hearing, some of them swore
they would swear to anything the judges
asked them, but vote they would. They even
attempted to drive men from the ground who
were opposed to Whitfield, their candidate,
and succeeded in one instance.
About half past 4 o'clock they declared that
no one should vote without their permission,
which was a greater outrage than all the rest.
One young man who was determined to vote,
an' actual settler too, had recourse to strata
gem to get his vote. ,Iluzzaing for Whitheld,
at the top of his voice, _until he attracted' at
tention,:he swore he would not stay any
hun
ger unless they gave him a chance; when they
picked him up, and raising him over the heads
of the crowd got him to the window. The
instant he got there he changed his Whitfield
ticket, forlone on which was printed the name
of Robert P. Flenniken, and got it in just as
it has discovered by them., They dropped
him like a hot potato, and had it not been for
some of them who appreciated the "sell," he
would have been roughly handled. And this
was not the only poll at, which these outrages
were committed, but at almost every one in
the territory. Clay, Jackson and Platte coun
tiesOlissouri, furnished us with about two
thousand voters. , Kind in them. wasn't it?
In one precinct, known:ai 110, in which
there are only from fifty - to sixty voters.—
Whitfield received a large majority. Col. A.
J. Isacks, the Attorney General, says that all
the children 'in the district had the measles,
and,prevented the men from attending the
-election, as Whitfield only received in that
district six hundred and ten. I rather guess
by the same rule in the test of the territory,
all the babies must have had the hooping
cough.
Will the North rest quiet under this out
rage? Will thep permit us to be bro W-beat and
bully-ragged by men who profess to be the
soul of honor and chivalry, but whose con
duct proves theui to be blackguards, ruffians,
and perjured ? Will she not send us
five thousand, nay ten thousand . legal voters
whO will dare stand up for their rights? Kan
_sae will, beyond all doubt, be afree•State. •The
violent course of the fire eaters, 'their fierce
denunciations of every man:who cannot sub
. .
scribe to their peculiar notiohs, will not deter
American Citizens from settling this beautiful
territory. - They know and dare maintain their
rights, all , the self-defensive assocciations to
the contrary r notwithstailding. Because Gov.
Reeder has not declared himself to be a fire
-eater he does:not &tit Missouri, but he krinws
and feels that hia co u rse is approved by his
people; he knows that they have confidence
n his devotiou to the interests of the territory.
\
He is trulya national man, and his appoint
in ht was the most judicious that President
Pi e could have made.

Steamboat disasters on the western waters
have become of late common, and indeed they
are of such frequent occutKence that very lit
tle attention is paid to them, save by. Insu
rance Companies, which haiksustained heavy
losses iliiring the last two modths. The Mis
sissippi iver has swallowed np\millions upon
millions f dollars in the past y`ear, and. still
it seems ever to be satisfied, for 't is almost °
daily op uini , its huge jaws and taking down
thousan s
, 1 .,
of dollars in property, and alas, too
frequently many valuable lives: Thikmight
ty strewn has much to answer fur ; yht it is
the pride and glory of the Great West\and
sunny South—its importance, usefulness and
source from which the whole West now !milts
to for the immense amount of produce consu
med here and exported, has no parallel in the
country's history. Its utility and well-known
facilities for importing to and exporting from
the Valley of the Mississippi, is known
throughout the world. Its history has al
ready been written ; its facilities to the trade
and commerce of the Union is still on the in
crease and its tide of; death and
.destruction
rolls thoughtlessly on. Ou Saturday morning
last, the steamer !Endo° struck a snag a few
miles above Cairo, tearing an immense hole in
her bottotfi, when she was run upon a bar,
and went down in six feet water. She wa- ,
valued at $7,000 and not insured. She had a
fair cargo aboard, and much of that stored
away iu the hold will prove a total loss ; the
greater part of that, on deck will be saved in
a damaged condition. Loss on freight about
$25,000: on boat, $7,000. The boat was old
and in all probably an attempt will be made
to raise her. The passengers were all saved.
On Wednesday last the steamer Grand Prai
rie ruin New Orlean to this port,' ran upon
a log near St. Genevieve, and broke in two,
and sunk iu eight feet water. Her cargo con
sisted of groceries and merchandize, most of
which will belt total loss, as will also the +oat.
She was valued at $lO,OOO, and insured fur
$5,000 in two offices in this city. The steam
er llonduras took off' her passengers. No
lives are reported as having been lost. A ru
m,r is also current that the steamer Sallie
Woa, bound fur the south, had sunk near
Turkey Island. N. boat has been up since,
and the report has not been confirmed.

Great interest is now manifested in the elec
tion pi a Senator from lowa. The LegiSla
ture of that State met last Monday. The
Democrats have a majority of one in the Sen
ate, but one member being absent, there was
a tie. It is thought that Ebenezer Cook, a
Whig and decided Anti-Nebraska man, will
succeed Senator Dodge, the present able rep
resentative from that State. Fitz Henry War
ren is Mr. Cook's competitor. The Dubuque{
Herald say§ "if Warren is elected the State'
ought to go in mourning for seventy-five
days." And so say I.

An official order from the General Land Of
fice for the postponement of all the land sales
in Mitisouri for the present and succeeding
month. has been received, in, consequence of
representations going to shew that .a large
number of meritorious actual settlers, on ac
count of short crops, and other untoward cir
cumstances, would be unable to pay fur the
lands. Consequently, the offices are all closed.
The Register at Fayette, in this State gives
the total sales of land at that office in the
months or September, October and November
at 153,9'35 acres, producing 543,737. From
1000 to 1500 applications are still on file, un
disposed of.
Another attempt is now made and pending
iu the City Council for an extension of the
present city limits. According to the plan
contemplated it will embrace. an area of '12,-
000 acres—equal to an extent of 11f miles
from north to south, and breadth - from east to
west, of two and a half .miles. The excite
ment arising out of the acquittal i.tf W. A.
Jackson has somewhat subsided, though the
jury in the case have made several attempts
in the public prints to clear their skirts of the
foulcharges broughtagainstthem. Theyall seem
to acknowledge that gambling was going on
in the room in which they A , ere locked, but deny
their drinking and carousing about the streets
with the murderer. Oue of our police officers
received a letter through the post office, enclo
sed with one fur Jackson, threatening him if he
did not leave the city. The letter was sent
to Jackson, but what action he has taken in
the matter, lam not informed. It was no
doubt intended to frighten him and rid the
city of his presence, which accords with the
wishes of the entire cuummunity.
A prisoner named Michael Pheley, died iu
the Galena, 111., jail on Sunday last- He was
sentenced to the Penitentiary for 18 months
for stealing a watch.
A few days ago a horrible murder was com
mitted at Waterloo,lllinois. The circumstances
are about as follows: A German, whose name
is not had frequent differences with his wife,
and usually ended in threats on his part. One
day the wife being apprehensive from his con
duct took refuge with their daughter, who
was married and living in Waterloo. That
night the man armed himself with a knife,
followed her, and when he reached the door,
knocked, and the daughter opened it to see
who was there, when the inhuman wretch
seized the daughter, no doubt in a mistake for
his wife, and plunged the knife four times in
breast, either one of the stabs was sufficient
to cause instant death. 'The murderer was
arrested and is now in jail. ;
It appears that the Whig• of the 7th dis
trict of Illinois,.are determined to elect Archer.
They now say that there is a mistake of 60
votes in Clay county in Archer's favor, and if
it can. be established will elect him by 59 votes
over Allen. Just so, now let them establish
it.
Col. Richardson, M. C., from the Quincy

The first bridge across the Mississippi river
will be the wire suspension bridge at St. An

have been thrown over the stream, and cross

is being put up at a cost of $60,000, and may
well be considered a great and important
achievement of the enterprise of a Territory not
yet ten years old. The Minnessotians are a
great and enterprising people.
