i el y . that the Snow-Nothings were - opposed, to
d in direct opposition to the spirit and meaning

estions were put to Mr. Douglas, which he an
s creel satisfactorily , and in good humor. Ile was
o posed to the New England Emigrant Aid Society
nding out hirelings for no other purpose than to
upon Slavery; he WAS down upon,biassachusetts
li e a thousand of brick, •and thinks that the Alla
'nil= were /breed to defend themselves against
t e Abolitionists of the North, sent there as hirelings,
erely to carry the elections in 'favor of the Free
S ate candidates. He said the Missourians notwith
s nding they were forced to do as they havei done,
w re no. justified by any law, but in direct violation
o the true meaning of the act entitled the Nebraska
nsas Bill—leaving the people of each State and
'Ortitory to decide for themselves, and regulate their
own domestic affairs as they may deem most fit for
their welfare and prosperity. This, he says, has not
cib en done, and the Missourians , as well as the
Northern Abolitionists, have violated the meaning
a d spirit of the territorial bill; and are both justly
nsurable for their conduct. If he wanted to make
ansas either a Slave or a Free State, he would:,
ve there and become one of the people of the Ter
,
ziary, and exercise the rights of a citizen—that is
wt the bill provides for, and all outside interfer
e co is contrary to the true spirit and meaning of ,
that bill. Mr. Douglas farther said that Abolition

wish to preserve our cherished institutions. Bis
s erCh was attentively listened to, by from 5,000 to
8000 persons, and pronounced one of the best, most
btilliant and patriotic speeches delivered from that
stand-for a number of years. He was frequently
cheered during the course of his remarks. Tha
speech was based upon constitutional grounds, and
vii.s incontrovertible,ether by the opponents of the
Nebraska Bill, or •of Know-Nuthingism, and Senator
Douglas retired from the stand amid the loud huz
ziis of.the congregated thousands.
The Know-Nothings present—that omnibus load
-icried for Dr. M'Dowell, the fatuous blackguard, and
leader and chief of the dark-lantern order, of this
city, who, always ready and willing to attack the
Catholic Church, took the stand amid shouts and
roans—Douglas, being aware of the dirty language
generally fised by the K. N. Chief, left, the ground
before the opening Beene commenced—which was in
these words—"lf there are any ladies present they
ad better retire, as the great Mogul of An:trim''-
, ,n. is about to talk to the b'hoys !' This text was

a
s 'Mont to drive the respectable portion of the as
smbly out of hearing, and the Doctor was left, with
his men, to enjoy the remainder of the evening.—
Whilst McDowell was blackguardiag the Catholic
rligion, as well as Senator Douglas for defending
t e Constitution, and upholding the fundamental
lbws of the land, the "Little Giant" was being sere
naded at the Planters' House, and ho came to the
itidow and made a brief, but most patriotic, speech
I
the crowd that had gathered around. Thus puled
the proceedings of night.
Judge Douglas is traveling through his own State,
( llinois,) and addressing the masses on the import
tat questions of the day, refuting the false and un
ibunded charges brought against him, and his Ne
braska-Kansas bill.
'the latest advises from Kansas report Perkins, the
Administration candidate for Congress, in opposition
tb Gen. Whitfield, the Pro-Slavery candidate, as
having withdrawn from the race. There is a divis
lint in the ranks of the Pro-Slavery party, and it is
understood that there are two Pro-Slavery candi
dates in the field, and both stumping the Territory.
Ihe Free State party believing that they might be
onsidored as acquiescing, in some degree, in the
cis passed by the Legislature, and suspected of
Making some show of submission to the laws, have
resolved to hold their election on the second Tues
day in October—the Legislature designates the first.
This is folly, and the Free State party has shown no
great spirit in this instance, but if anything, renders
themselves ridiculous, and the folly of the movement
will fall upon their own heads.
..I stated in a previous letter that Gov. Shannon.
k the first opportunity of assuring the Western
took
issourians of his strong Pro‘Slavery sentiments.—
The Pro-Slavery party did not believe the Governor
to be sincere in his declarations upon his arrival,
d fhought he was playing a double-handed game
they think so still, and look upon him with sus
picion. My own opinion is, Gov. Shannon is merely
Sounding the Western people upon the Slavery ques-
Ition.
The actual settlers are opposed to Shannon, and
are remonstrating with the President, in relation to
the Governor's haste in expressing, uncalled for, his
I' co-Slavery sentiments. He has placed himself in
an awkward predicament—the Free State men be
lieve him to be a renegade, and the Pro-Slavery
party consiaer him a hypocrite in sentiment.
Sam Houston, of Know Noshing notoriety, has

Mr, Charles Campbell, of your city, arrived here
last week.
A highly respectable citizen, Mr. Jos. 11. Ricker,
well to do in the world, committed suicidp on Thurs
day morning last by placing the muzzle of a pistol
in his mouth and blowing oat his brains. No cause
is asaigned for the rash act. Re was a man without
family.
A most shocking accident occurred on Friday last
to a man named John Carrigan, who was employed
in the Empire stove Works. He was caught by a
large fly-wheel and torn literally to pieces. One
all of his head was completely crushed, and parti
cles of his brain were thrown into the second story,
through an opening in the floor. His jaw -bone was
onnd some distance from the place of accident. He
resented a most shocking spectacle. The cele
rated pedestrian is still at work. Be has thus
far kept up to time, though he looks very much
worn out, but it is believed will accomplish the un
dertaking. The wager is $2,500 that he will walk a
half .a mile in every half hour during twenty-two
days and nights.
A new boat called the A. B. Chambers , (named
after the lamented Col. Chambers of the St. Louis
Republican) made its appearance at our Levee on
Thursday last, and a large crowd partook of a sump
tuous repast, prepared by her owners. The occasion
was one long to be remembered.

Col-Kinney had been elected Governor of San
Juan and the territory. The first number of
his new paper, the "Central American," con
tains his inaugural proclamation, in which he
intimates that the difficulties with the Transit
Company arc about to be amicably settled.—
On thc - dd of September, Col. Walker, with
150 men, had landed at Virgin Bay, and de
feated a three of 400 Men from Rivas, under
Etudiola. He was to attack Rivas in a few
days. The government had demanded the
arms and ammunition lately received by the
Tranmit Company. -
SANTA FE.--By dates from Santa Fe, we
learn that that quarter has been visited - by one
of the most fiolent and destructive storms
that has been known there for a long period.
The Santa Fe Gazette, of the 25th August,
say :—"The plaza wad converted into a great
lake, and along all the streets ran torrents of
water like small rivers. The Acequias broke
over their hank, and the water, spreading
with headlong velociy, inundated gardens
and fields, and, in some instances, washed
down liewes that obstrneten its eou.ge.
The Itio Citiquito rose to an unprecedented
heighth, and, fir a time, cutoff all intercourse
between the two parts of the town."
HORRIBLE SACRIFICE OF LIFE ON WESTERN WA
TERS IN FORTY-FORK YEARSI—From Lloyd's forth
coming Steamboat Direbtory we learn that sine tfie
application of the steam on the Western waters there
have been thirty-nine thousand six hundred and
seventy-two lives lost by steamboat disasters, three
hundred and eighty-ono boats and cargoes lost, and
seventy boats seriously injured, amounting in the
aggregate to the enormous sum of sixty-seven mil
lions of dollars. It is to be hoped that this forth
coming work will have the effect of arresting the
attention of the Government to the importance of
Western interests, so far av our great rivers and
lakes are concerned.

lice. Dr. Baird (Prnsbyterlan) says: "It seems admiral
bly to unite the accompaniments of devotional meditation,
Critical exposition, and graphic illustration, with a neat
and elegant text of the sacred writings. The engravings
are not in. the *Ay of fanciful decorations, but serve to
11:ustrate the manners and customs of the East, so as
greatly to facilitate the study of the Word Of lied."
11ev. Dc. Cheever. (Congregational) says “I like the
plan of the Domestic Bible, and so far as I have examined
the notes and obs,vations they are excellent."
Rev. Dr. Peek, (Methodist) says: "I have examined the
Domestic Bible sufficiently to be entirely satisfied that its
plan has many advantages over any addition of the Bible
with which I am acquainted."
Haying examined the Domestic Bible, we fully concur
in the opinions above expressed, and fully recommend it
to Families, Sunday Schools, Teachers, and Bible Classes.

of produce was sold in.this settlement last year. It Is a
good limestone soil; limestone is found in abundance, so
that the land ran at any time be improved by liming:—
Aburidance of coal is found eVerywAere in these lands; I
' have, although wood is no plenty, for the last two years
used nothing but coal for my family use. I know of more
than ten or twelve different coal banks opened within a
short distance of St. Mary's. They all average from four
to sit feet vein, running in general into the hills, or rath
er working upwards, so that water never can disturb them.
There is also abundamm of iron are. The Kidney rock,
and some pipe ore has been found. At the base of hills
torn away by the ravines, I ran in many places get lumps
of ore weighing from five hundred to six hundred pounds,
of the best of rock ore. There Is also abundance' of fire
proof clay lying,
in strata between the coal and limestone.
'The northern of the St. Mary's tract abounds intim
best of cherry timber and ash; such is the quantity, that
from fifteen to thirty thousand feet of lumber ,an be
manufactured from the acre. The southern part Is mostly
fir, pine and hemlock.
The water powers in the various streams cannot be sur
passed; theY are on the Elk creek, East Trout run, South .
east creek, West creek, Dent's run, North Crooked creek,
east branch of the Clarion river, Silver Creek and Kersey
run. An these streams possess first rate mill sites; and
the day will not be far distant when every stream will be
filled with manufactories of some sort. The Sunbury and
Erie railroad passes directly through the whole 'of this
land—and when once finished, nothing is able to compete
with this section of the State.
We here have the health; We bare the soil for the hus
bandman; we bare the tuinetal fur the manufacturer; we
have any quantity of coal; we have immense forests of the
choicest and best of timber, and, he fact, nothing is want,
lug, when this road is completed. Co make this one of the
wealthiest portions of the State. To Illustrate the place
properly to you, you must:think that eleven years ago not
a tree Wes cut here, Many of the people who settled here
wore entire unacqualoted with clearing land ; now that'
possess good farms, and the log huts are giving way to
magnificent buildings, and if is proverbial that every man
Is getting well off. Wo ; new are the support of all the
neighboring lumber factories—and, as It were, St. Mary's
is the cupboard of the whole county. There is now about
seven thousand acres clear, aud we number over twenty
five hundred souls, and in many respects we are much
ahead of any of the adjacent towns and counties although
much older in years than we. Auy further information
you.desire will be cheerfully given.
Truly yours, E. C. SCHULTZ.

at the price of $lOO payable in instalments of two dollars
a month, or by the week.
Besides this, there Is a valuable saw mill upon the prop.
erty, and one hundred & fifty Into in the thriving town of
St. Mary's, which the subscribers get.
This originally formed part of alarge tract, a great por
tion of which was settleN,y industri.ms and educated
Germans. numbering sort twenty-five hundred. They se
looted the land on account f its agricultural and mineral
wealth, which alone Is an indisputable evidence of the
facts, an they are well known to be superior judges upon
these subjects. They went there some twelve years ago,
and they now have a thriving and beautiful settlement,
which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms, St.
Mary's is the town of the settlement, and is rapidly in•
creasing in population. It has hotels as good as any in
the :tate—fine stores—a college, where the highest branch
es of eddeat it'll are taught, both literary and musical--saw
mills, grist mills, coach imanufactories, and every thing,
contAvable to add wealth and prosperity to the place. •
The land of the company surrounds this town, mitten the
improvements, thereby reaping the benefits, and present
ing a splendid opportunity for settlement. Limestone
abounds. This is both au evident. of the quality of the
soil and a greatTertilizer. At tit. Mary's it sells at from
ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt.
. _
Thu timber is or great value, aud consists off:berry, Ash,
'Chesnut, Pine, Cak and ileteleck, all of primeval growth,
of great size, and towering from eighty to a hundred and
twenty fret high. That which the stockholders du not
want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions
to cut it in a certain time. This will clear the land,,and
bring a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to
the reduction of the price of the farms.
This explains its agricultural ',stair,. But there is
suother consideration of 1111:d, if not greeter, impotence.
The land is cue greet led or coal. Upon this property it is
literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest
map, first at this loadity,end than over the State, It will
be found to possess the grandest Natures of prosperity, hat
provement, and almost immediate development. It Is su
perior to any other. It is the only piece having the great
conceutratien of railroads, by Which New York, the Lakes,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at its doors. There is no
coal in New York, and ou account of its northeruiy suttee
lion, it possesses the advantage 'of nearness. This is des.
final to Locum (ho Pottsville of that portion of the State.
The prospect iu the future for this place exceeds any that
Pottsville ever had; and there, laud which a few years ago
was selling ut live and ten dollars au acre, when the rail
road opened its mines sold fur Bean two to live hundred
dollars an acre. These ate facts. Those who are ignorant,
let them make inquiry. Improvement is still progressing.
So arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the past, and
then what will this land bet it is proper that reason
should give the answer.
The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, of which Gov. Bigler
is President, and which connects this land with the-Lakes
and Philadelphia, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, of
which dov. Johnson is President, connecting this land
with Pittsburg, are in rapid course of completion, and up•
on a great extent the locomotives are running. Thu retlec-
Bons which suggest themselves upon this subject are
thesc—lt takes two hundred weeks to pay her the farms.
They will be distributed when they are half paid for. By
that time the railroads will be finished. That will be
early enough for all practical purposes. The advantage
of baying It before their completion is evident. When
that is done property will go up one hundred per cent.
Speculation in coal would at once run it up to such a
price as would make it impossible to obtain for agricul
tural purposes. We now get it without paying the then
improved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise.
A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid off at
once '
and ready by next Spring, in order thatnersens who
wish to farm immediately can do so.
Friends and relatives, as well as those having more than
one share, can have their farms together.
An Improvement Department will also bo connected
with the company. By this means, in order to accommo
date those who are unable to give their personal atten
tion to fencing and preparation, or desire to rent their
properties out instead of residing there, arrangements can
be made to place' each farm in complete order, so ad to be
ready for cultivation. After the farms have been all sold,
stockholders can have manure furnished, houses built,
and other work done upon credit, they securing the pay
ment to the company within a reasonable time, so that a
man in the first place receives a farm at the lowest possi
ble price, and thee:Cls afforded every, assistance In placing
It under crops.
Ttieite embrac4he principle features, and an excellent
opportunity Is now offered fora man to obtain a home
for himself, his wile and children, either at the present
or time to come. Many business men, meclanics, and
workingmen upon farms, who save several dollars smooth,
lean, by:thus uniting together, hocOme freehelders, whilst
they scarcely miss the outlay, and at less: expellee than
the annual cost of tobacco or the most trilling luxuries.
A saving and purchase of this kind eat nothing, and eon
..stantly increase in valor. In case of.sickness or misfor-
tune by which he is thrown xint of employment, he has
a home to go to, where he otti• always make •a good liv
ing. The title is unexceptionably good—one of the old
est in the State, being the Holland Title. These who
desire farms, will please address; personally or by letter

phe Illinois Central Railroad Company
is now prepared to sell over two millions of Acres of
selected Prairie; Farm and Wood Lands, lb Tracts or 40
Acres and upwards, to suit pnichasers, ml long eredltt
and at low rates of interest.
•
They were granted by the Government to encourage the
building of this Railroad, which runs from the extreme
north to the extreme south of the State of Illinois. It pas
ses, from end to end, through the richest and most fertile
Prairies of the State. dotted here and there with magnifi
cent Oak Groves. The recent opening of nearly 000 miles of
this road throws open the lands for cultivation. They are
scattered from 1 to fifteen miles on each side'of it, through
its entire length.
The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to five feet in
depth, is gently reline, and peculiarly fitted for grazing
cattle and sheep. and the cultivation of wheat, Indian
corn, Sc.
The first crop of Indian corn planted on the newly bro
ken prairie. email pays the cost of plowing andaometimes
fencing. Wheat sown on new turned sod is sure to yield
very large profits. One man with a plow and two yoke of
oxen will break one and a half to two acres per day. Con
tracts can be made for breaking, ready for corn or wheat,
at $2 to s'2 60 per acre. By judicious management farms
may be broken and fenced the first and under a high
state of cultivation the second year.
The larger_ yield on the cheap lands of lilinoiaeverhigh
priced lands in the Eastern and Middle States, is known
to be much more than sufficient to pay the difference of
transportation to the,Eastern market. The rapid Increase
and growth of flourishing towns and-rvillages along the
lino of this road afford a growing home demand for Earm
produce.
Coal and wood are delivered along the road at different
points, at from $1 50 to $4 the cord or ton.
Parties having In iiew Iowa; Kansas, Nebraska, or 6Ho
ur:stets for their future homes should take into considera
tion that the country west of the Mississippi is destitute
of railroads; that the conveniences of transporting grain
and product farms on the lino of the Illinois Central
Railroad, direct to the great Eastern market, It sufficient
of itself to. pay the investment at from $lO to $l5 per acre
higherthan frugovernment lands In lowa. In other words
that it coats so much more to get produce from she inter 4
or ofthe'country west of the Eitssissipptto the Eastern
market, that tbd armor will find r lt much more profitable
to locate on the line of this railroad.
Price and Terms of Payment.—Toe price will-vary from
$5 to $22, according to location, quality, le. Contracts for
deeds maybe made during the year 1855, stiPulating the
purchase money to be paid fn five annual instalments—
the first to be due in two years from date of contract, the
