AN INDIAN MAssscii..— A telegraphic despatch

It seems that a Sioux Indian stole an ox from an
emigrant. The chief of the iiibe-oflered to debar

accordingly, Lieut. Grattan, Sergeant F i ivor, Coy.
poral McNulty, and twenty privateii, accompanied
by an interperter, set out for the camp of the Sioux,
where the entire party were massacred. It was
reported that the chief of the Sioux was also killed.
No other particulars of th's terrible deed of blood
are received. Reinforcements have been de
spa'ched to the fort. The Indians are represented
as very hostile.

CORONSU,
WM. W. EASTERBROOKS, 01 NORTII Tow !I D.&
Gov. BIGLER. has been'suffering for some
ten days past, under such a serious attack of
congestion of the liver as to excite the liveli
est apprehensions of his' friends. We are
gratified in being able to announce that his
symptoms are now more favorable, ,and there
is every prospect of his immediate recovery.
We last week published the proceedings of the
Democratic County Convention, and placed the
names of the candidates selected at the head of our
paper. We had only time to refer generally to the
selection made, as being worthy of the surpon of
the party.
If there was any dissatisfaction. or disapimint•
ment felt by any one, at the choice of the Conven
lion, (and when so many important offices are to
be tilled, it could hardly be otherwise,) the time
that has elaps ed
j has given due opportunity for cool
reflection, and•the universal expression is, that the
ticket is a good one, and should be, -and must be,
biumpliantly sustained throughout. II there is ()tie
feature of the Democratic party more distinguish
ing than another : it is the grace and unaninity with
whirti i:s members yield their personal preference
to the expressed wish of the majority, when fair
ly made. Such must ever be the case, where the
organization is intended to uphold and perpetuate
principles rather than to advance men, and is partic
ularly the case with the Democratic party of Brad
ford, which has asserted and maintained its print
ciples under circumstances ilie most trying, with a
Chichi) , winch has gained it a wide and enviable
notority.
511,159 31
155 802 00
The candiJates which the Detnocracy of Brad
turd have now presented for their sutliezes, are
worthy of then cunfidence and support. Never, in
all the arduous battles of the past, have they rallied
to the' support of more competent or trustworthy
men. We take much pleasure in recommending
them to the most zealous exertions of the Demo
cretin party. The nominees for Representatives,
BARTHOLOMEW LAPORTE, of Dwell,
JOHN V. DANIELS, cg Burlinehm Bora'
108.310 00
Were selected witn an unusual degree ofunatrirni
ty, and are candidates of whom the party may
well be proud. They have a reputation fur intelli
genie, integrity and independence, which chal
lenges the respect of their opponents, and should
commend for them the cordial support ?if every De
mom!. It it the boast of Bradford, that in all the
corrupt legislation which has disgraced the Capitol,
she can point with confidence to the coarse of her
Representatives, ever certain that their votes will
be arrayed against all schemes of speculation and
plunder. The gentlemen selected for Representa
lives, are of the same stamp, possessed of sound
and radical Repnblican principles, and of character
and integrity sufficient to ensure an upright and
conscientious public career:
NATHAN EDMINSTER, of Athens,
The candidate for the responsible office of Sheriff,
is so well and favorably known throughout the
County, as to make any introduction at our hands
unnecessary. Correct in his habits, affable in his
deportment, energetic and,untiring,he possesses i all
the qualifications for a proper discharge of the du
ties of the office of Sheriff. The manner in which
he has for years done business as a Constable, in
almost every township in the County, has gained
him many friends, and secured for him the nomi•
nation he has received. It is universally conced
ed by friend and opponent, that he will conduct
the Sheriff's office with entire satisfaction to the
public.
1. MASON %NqTTLES, of IVysox,
The- nominee for Prothonotary, bas, had an inti
mate acquaintance with re.l the duties of the office
for which he has been mimed, having discharged
its labors for some years. A better selection could
not have been made. Those who have had busi•
neas to do in the office, will bear testimony that he
was as oorrect and accomodating an officer as ever
occupied that post. In all his private telations his
- reputation is unexceptionable. Be is deserving,
and should receive the support of every Democrat.
Against his , competitor vns have not one word to
say. The Democratic doctrine of rotation office,

.Being well and favorably known throughout the
County, he will commend a large vote. Ilia elec
tion will secure a corteous and efficient officer.
GEORGE H. BULL, -. of Monroe,
The nominee for County Commissioner, should re
ceive not only the support of every Democrat, but
of every taxpayer who has a regard for the inter
erisof the. County. A long and intimate personal
aerptainlance, qualifies us to speak certainly of his
fitness for thweike. !Uri:west, of the taspay
ars are intimately connected with a correct admin
istration of the county adairs. Mr. BULL possesses
the qualiles for which we should seek, in nomin
ating County Commissioners. An honest, upright
man, of unbending integrity, of intelligence and
firmness, of much experience, being in fact, em
phatically a practical man and a mechanic, all the
interests of the County will be looked after, and
particularly will economy be studied. The taxpay
ers will mistake their own interests, it they should
not elect him.
_ Pot Auditor, JONATHAN BUT fI.ES, of Wilmot;
and fur Coroner, X 934 EASTERBROOKS, of North
Miranda, received the unanimous nomination of
the Convention. This compliment manitesm the
estimation in which they are regarded, and is the
very 'best evidence of their finless for the posts for
which they have respectively been selected.
Such, lellow.democrats, is the ticket presented
for your suffrages. Does it not deserve all that we
have said•of it ? In its formation the personal pre
ferences of many of us have been overlooked, but
it is now our duly to labor for the success of the
whole ticket, as we should have expected others
to act, had our choice been regarded. This ticket
should be triumphantly sustained. Shall it not
be ? •
.New YORK.—The Soft shell State Convention,
which met at Syracuse on the 6th, placed in nomi
nation the following ticket :
For Govo nor—HORATIO SZYMOVR, of Oneida Co.
beat Governor—Wet. H. LunLow, of Suffolk Co.
canal Commissioner—iollN CLARK, of Jeff: ean Co.
Prison Inspector—W. R. ANDIICWI9, of Livingston.
A majority of this convention consisted of office.
holders, their dependants and friends, who had
come up to Syracuse for the purpose of taking such
action as would save their necks from the axe.—
They present a pitiable and abject sight. Their
resolutions endorse the Administraion, approve the
principle of the Kansas Nebraska bill, tut pro
nounce the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
" inexpedient and unnecessary," and re affirm the
Baltimore resolutions of 1852, against the agitation
of slavery. 1
After the adoption of the reSOICIIiOIIB, PHEOTON
Kum, ABIJAII MANN, and several other consistent
Democrats, withdrew from the Convention.
Tu s THIRD A DDREBI.—The editor of the illontrose
Democrat, who is a member of the State Central
Committee, thus speaks his mind in regard to the
aqmpt, made by a portion of that body to endorse
the Nebraska bill.—" . We publish to.day the ad
dress of the State Central Committee on the Ne
braska Bill. We entirely dissent from the doctrines
of the address, so far as it has any, and deny the
right of the Committee to speak for the party on
this-question. The. Convention refused to pass re
solutions endorsing the Bill, thus leaving )the Gov
ernor to take his own position. He has done so,
and will be judged by it. The Commince had no
business with it, and as a member of that Commit
tee we condemn it."
CHOLERA IN COLVIABIA PA.-A few days since
cholera made its appearance at Columbia, and has
been attended with fearful mortality. Tue number
of deaths, at the latest dates, was seventy-eight,
and lorty.ene still under treatment.
The u!most excitement existed amongst the citi
zens. Some physicians from Philadelphia made
the discovery that the disease was owing to drink
ing water from the reservoir. The water being
Jiawn off it was found that persons carrying sheep
on the railroad, had thrown their bodies into the
reservoir after they had died, and the putrid bodies
were there found.
VERMONT ELEcrloN.—To the lower:house of the
Legiblature 130 Whigs and anti-Nebraska oleo are
elected and 40 Democrats, beside three men of
doubtful complexion, and nine cases of no choice.
For Congress in the Ist district, Meacham, Whig
and anti Nebraska, has, in 58 towns; 3844 majority
over Jewett, Dem. In the 2d district, Morrill,
Whig and anti-Nebraska, has, in 68 towns, 475
majority over all. In the 3d district, Sabin, Whig
and anti Nebraska, has, in 43 towns, 2666 majority
over Hayward, Dem.
Tut CIIDAN SLAVE TRADIL—The New York
Times affirms that the slave trade is actually car
ried on between that city and the coast of Africa,
and that New York metchanis are constantly send•
tng vessels to Africa to bring cargoes of slaves to
Cuba.
THE Ewe. RAILROAD Cass, in the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court, has been decided by Chief Justice
Black in favor of the defendants, the so-called riot
ers of Erie, justifying them in their resistance to the
running of the road through the streets of the
borough, and directing the Railroad Company to
alter their route within four months.
MAINt Et.rcrioN.—Tbe recent election in Maine
has resulted in the complete triumph of the Fusion.
rats. Morrill, (Fusionist,) is elected Governor by
the people, having a large majority. The Mem
ber§ of Congress are all Anti4slebraska, and the
Legislature will be composed almost exclusively
of Fusionists.
irr The British Government has notified the
State Department that the Queen has ratified the
Fishery and Reciprocity Treaty ; and that orders
have been sent to Canada for thecimmediate admis,
sion of our fishermen to the unrestricted freedom
of the fisheries, provided for in that instrument.

Divided as they may be, upon the plicy of sup

ed in the desire and determinatfon to express their

can all unit; irrespective of party considerations.
The vote which Mr. GROW will receive at the
coming electioni-will be the true index of popular
st.ntiment in this district. His return for a third
term is the result of his straight forward opposition
to the passage of the Nebraska bill, which coupled
with the ability he displayed in Congresit, his ad
vocacy of the Homestead, and the correctness of
his votes generally, has gained him the confidence
and approbation of his constituents generally. '
The verdict which the Freemen of the ltit4t
Congressional District will render at the ballot box,

its effect. About it thete can be no cavilling. It
will be a direct, naked, repudiation of Houma'

man to swell that verdict to its utmost extent.

THE CRON, THE DROUGHT, AND THE PANIC Ms•
EERS.—There is evidently an attempt making par.
ticularly by some of New York papers to get up a
panic about the drought. The Albany Express, re
faring to the cry el the corn crop, being one third
short of an average yield, says :
" II the crop is one-third less than it should be,
the ground planted with corn this season is lull a
third greater than that planted last year. What we
lose in a poor yield we make up in increased acres.
In our opinion the amount of corn that will crome
to market during the approachingseaaon will equal
that of any former year. When corn approchea a
dollar a bushel, and hay a cent a pound, the own
er discovers that he can make more by giving
away his cattle than keeping them over for anoth
er year. In this and the neighboring counties
every unproductive cow will be converted into
beet as early as possible. This fact shows that our
meats will be reasonable in price, let grain go as
it may. , People have become alarmed without
cause. They forgot that the' wheat, rye, and rice
crops were all secured before the drought set in
We will be short on for oats, hay, and straw, but
that there will be any great scarcity of breadstuils
we do not believe for a moment"
The Buffalo Commercial was this week inform
ed by an intelligent gentleman connected with
the - agricultural and shipping interests of the West,
that the crop of corn in the Wabash and Maumee
sections will be larger, and in every respect batter,
this season than it has ever been belore. His
means of knowing these facts, it says, are ample,
and his veracity is not to be questioned. He states
that in the valleys of the two rivers named there
has been an abundance of rain. '
The Hannibal (Nlo ) Courier refers to unfavor•
able reports of the corn crop in many counties of
that Sate, but says that in that county there will be
a fair average crop. The Detroit Tribune slates
that in Michigan corn and oats never looked better.
The Kernuck papers speak of an improvement in
the appearance of corn, in consequence of recent
rains.
JAPANI.—h understood in Washington, that Brit.
lain and Holland are to contend with us with much
more energy, for the commanding influence in
connection with the foreign commerce of Japan,
than it was thought probable they would essay, not
long since. Nevertheless, little apprehension exists
here that they will be able to rob us of the
mate advantage of our superior enterprize, as mani
fested in being first to induce Japan to become a
legitimate portion of the commercial world. 'True,
they have great advantages in their superior ex
perience with Eastern affairs and connection with
Eastern commerce which will be pushed to their
utmost. The Government have, however, doubt.
less long since taken measures to profit by the good
impression which we have already made in that
quarter, as manifested by Japan's treaty with tuo.—
From various circumstances within our own knowl•
edge we can entertain no fears that our merchants,
manufactureres, artizana and ship owners will fail
to be the chief recipients of the benefits to flow
from the achievements of our Government in open.

EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES this year it
is thought, will reach four hundred thousand. By
the census of 1850, the population of the United
States was over twenty-three millions, of which
eighteen millions were native whites, over Iwo
millions were foreign born, thirty nine thousand
were of unknown nativities, and three millions two
hundred thousand were slaves. From 1840 to
1850, 1,589,850 foreigners came to Or shores.—
From - 1820 to 1830, the average number was only
20,000 a year. From 1830 to 1846, about 70,000
a year. The Irish famine and the continenta re.
volutions in UM increased the emiu,ration to 140,
000 in 1847 : and to 300,000 in 1850. The total
number of emigrants to the United Stales since
1790, and living in 1850, together With descend
-4112111, amounted (when the cencue was taken) to
4,304,416. The meat number of deaths among
foreignrlrs in the United States is appalling, and
average, it is thought, at least fifty per cent.
Tau New DOLLAR COIN —We learn that the
Secretary of the Treasury has ordered the new gold
dollar coin , d escribed at length by os some time
since, to Ix; substituted for the American gold dol
lar coin now in circulation. As we remarked,
when previously writing on the subject, the new
coin has as large a surface as the silioer five cent
piece. Orders have.been sent to have them struck
oft in all the 11. S. mints in which coining is done.
No snore of the current gold dollaroin will be
struck off.

Yzi.Low Fv.vv.it PANIC-The ye:low fever at
Savannah has created a terrible panic among the
citizens. Not only are 96 of the principal business
houses shut up, but one half of the boarding houses
are closed, together with the Pulaski House, the
largest hotel in the city, and their proprietors taken
to flight. The Marshall House, another large hotel,
is also, it is stated, about to close. Business
throughout the city is almost entirely suspended,
and the Georgian says that in proportion to the pop.
utation, it has reason to fear that tho number of
sick is greater now than at any previous period,
though the disease is lees tatal. The physicians,
however, are nearly worn out.
