all respects with the people of the United
State-:. The Pacific Railroad bill was dis
cussed by Mr. Weller, who snitl ho laid no pre

man has had the seat thus far. After fur

Deflieiency bill were all disposed of, and then

THE INDIAN WAR IN OREGON.—II ~ashin
tvn, April IT.—Atnong the official documents
received-from Oregon is a letter from .loel
l'almer, suj)eriiitendent of Indian affairs, who,
confirming the statements of Gov. Curry, says
the present difficulty in Southern Oregon, is
wholly attributable to the acts of the whites,
adding—" I cannot bt# it to be our duty to
adopt such measures as will tend to secure
the lives of. these Indians and maintain tlxe
guarantees secured by treat}' stipulations.—
The future will prove that this war has been
forced upon these Indians against their will,
and that too, by a set of reckless vagabonds
for pecuniary and political objects sanctioned
by a numerous population who regard the
Treasury of the Vnited States as a legitimate
object of plunder. The Indians in that dis
trict have been driven to desperation by acts
of cruelty against their people. Treaties have |
been violated, and acts of barbarity commit
ted by those claiming to be citizens, that would
disgrace the most barbarous nations of the
earth. If none but those who perpetrated
such acts were to be affected by this war, we
might look upon it with indifference, but un
happily this is not the case."
A NEW IMPORTATION.—The schooner Leans
rillo, arrived at New York, from Trinidad, 011
Saturday, loaded principally with old guns,
and an anchor, from the remains of Spanish
men-of-war, that were bnrnt in the Gulf of
Paria, near the Port of Spain, in 17-97, at. a
time when they were blockaded by the Brit
ish fleet. There are ninety guns, which were
recovered by divers. During the operations,
two six-pounders of brass, in a remarkable
state of preservation, were also rescued from
the deep. Their surface was covered with
pitch, and their bores were filled with the
same material. The timber raised from the
wrecks presented wonderful specimens of pre
servation, pieces of pitch pine in almost per
fect state, having resisted the action of the
saltwater for fifty-nine years, whilst oak and
and other timber, and tho iron thereto attach
ed, were nearly destroyed, copper and pitch
pine having resisted the effect of the water
almost eutirelv.
TJOTIBI'TIY \xr> Aus ox.—At Reamtown, Fa.,
a short time since, a robber called at the house
of a farmer, and demanded s">o, threatening
ts burn the farmer's barn if the money were
nut forthcoming immediately. The farmer's
son attempted to shoot the ruffian, but was
prevented from so doing by his parent. In a
few minutes, however, the barn was in a blaze,
but the farmer ami his son were too frightened
to go out, for foai the man wonld murder
them, and therefore three valuable horses,
200 sheep, and 30 heads of fat cattle were de
stroyed. On investigation the body of a man
was discovered in tlie ruins, with a dirk-knife
in his belt. It is supposed that there were
three or four men, and while one went for
the money the others set 'he barn on fire, and
while in the act of setting the barn one of
them received a violent kick from a cross
old horse, and therefore he could not get away,
and was burned to death.
Fi-oru Now AND THEN. —The New York
Times makes the following comparison of the
prices of the different qualities of flour new
with those which prevailed on the Ist of De
cember last :
" On the Ist of December, ordinary State
ranScd from $9 25 to 69 31 1 4, now the quo
tation is $5 87 1-2 to §9 ; straight State then
£9 31 1-t to 69 37 1-2, now S3 to $6 12 1-2 ;
fancy Ohio then 6'J 62 1-2 to $9 75, now 66

Genesee then 610 to 611 50, now 60 75 to
$9 25 ; :tnd in the same proportion with all
the other grades.
RHODE Tsi.vxn ELECTION.— The Providence
Journal says the representation from all the
towns in that State is now complete. The
Americans and Republicans, counting the
Lieut. Governor, will have 22 of the 32 mem
bers of the Senate, and 52 of the 72 members
of the House—being a majority of 44 of the
Grand Committee.

The address of the Republican Nation
al Committee which we publish On our outside,
f is worthy of the perusal anil consideration of
I every Freeman. Jt is a reliable and lucid ex
' position of the degradation imposed upon the
j free white man wherever the institution of do
i incstic shivery prevails. The positions of the
paper are fortified by the testimony of eminent
Southern men. We ask our readers to peruse
it, and then consider whether they will be ac
cessory in forcing upon Kansas an institution
which will degrade white labor below the level
of the slave.
It is shown by this circular that the State
of South Carolina is ruled by a slave oligarchy,
while the white labor of that State is impotent
to effect those reforms so essential for the well
being and prosperity of tlie masses. The ten
dency is constantly to increase the powor and
preponderance of the heavy slave-owners, and
to press deeper and deeper into subjection the
poorer classes. This is true, not only of South
Carolina, but of all the slave states. The
wealth of the country is becoming every day
in the hands of fewer possessors ; estates are
being joined, and slaves increased, while the
white laborer becomes more and more debased.
1 An aristocracy, based upon slave labor and
slave capital, is fast forming which has ho sym
pathy with our free institutions, because sup
ported and magnified by an institution which
1 exacts the involuntary servitude of the black
race and claims that slavery is the normal and
inevitable condition of the poor of every color.
It is this aristocracy which is jiow endeavoring
to effect such radical reforms in the govern
ment of the country—usurping the legislative
and judicial branches—and giving shape to
legislation and interpretations to the Constitu
tion and the laws not intended by the framers
of either.
Intolerant and proscriptive, the slave-aristoc
racy now seek to divert the government from
its original purposes, and would desecrate it
by devoting it to the encouragement and sup
port of the abhorrent institution of domestic
slavery. That accomplished, and the white
laborer of the North can have 110 security that
lie will not be dragged down to a level with
the white laborer of the South—for the sys
tem of slavery is in deadly hostility with the
spread of virtue and intelligence. Based upon
fraud and violence, its only security is in op
pression and in the moral destitution of the
unhappy victims upon whose labor it fattens.
£"3?- The editor of the Wayne County Her
ald is very much exercised about Mr. (Jnow's
position, lte is very much afraid that the
latter will not he ready to support the nomi
nee of the Cincinnati Convention, with its en
dorsement of the Nebraska outrage and the
new-fangled doctrines of the beneficence and
necessity of Slavery. The editor very anxious
ly enquires :
Will Mr. Grow, and democrats who help " blow
and ctrike tor the Clark Republicans, in preparing ma-
U i iul- tor the presidential campaign, abandon tin ir pres
ent position, and rejoin the democratic ranks in support
of the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention ? Will t.hey
rally around the Standard that bears aloft the candidates
of their glorious old party? Will the names of James
Ruehanah and Howelf Cobb inspire them to battle again
for the democracy and the Uuiou ? We will see.
The names of the candidates indicated will
have an inspiriting influence only on those who
arc willing to eudor.se the outrages committed
by ATCHISON and his border ruffiaus in Kansas*
and those who are willing to deny the request
of Kansas to come in as a Free State in order
to leave the territory open for new inroads by
the slavery-propagandists. Mr. GROW, we pre
sume, has no difficulty in answering such ques
tions as those propounded by the editor of the
Ilerahl. We ure certain he will always be
found zealously and consistently advocating the
cause of Freedom, against the machinations of
the slave democracy.
Br*?* The Grand Jnrv of Susquehanna coun
ty, at the late Term of Court, indicted E. B.
(_ HASH, editor of the Montrose Democrat for
libel on Judge \Y i I.MOT. The last number of
CIIASE'S paper contains the following retrac
tion :
" Judge Wilmot feeling tha this official eon
duct and integrity has been assailed by publi
cations in our paper, we desire to say, in jus
tice to him, to the public and to ourself, that
we did not intend to impugn the integrity of
Judge Wilmot as a inuu, nor to charge upon
him corruption, partiality or political bias in
the discharge ul his responsible public duties.
We have seen nothing, nor do we know of
anything, in the couduct of Judge Wilmot, to
warrant such a charge.
The publications complained of, were has
tily and inconsiderately written, and we regret
anything therein contained reflecting upon the
official integrity and conduct of Judge Wilmot.
fiaT" The Legislature adjourned en the 22d
inst. In the Senate, the bill amending the
license law of the present session, was nega
tived.
The Speaker of the Senate having resigned,
N U. BROWNE, of Philadelphia, was elected.
[Correspondence of the Bradford Reporter.]
HAKKIPBI KO, April 19, INS.
Mr. EDITOR : The end of the session is Just
approaching. Much legislation lias been effec
ted this winter. "Whether all of it will be pro
ductive of good, is a very doubtful question.—.
General politics have cut but little figure "here,
for some time, and indeed, but little during the
whole Sfcssion. TTpou the exciting question oi
the day—the non-extension of slavery—the
whole of the Anti Administration party here
show a clear record. This augurs well for suc
cess in the State this fall. It goes far to en
sure a thorough and harmonious fusion upon
the Presidency as well as upon the State Tick
et. Every indication, every source ol private
information from the different sections of the
State, seem to point unerringly towards the
success of the state ticket. Cheering assurances
are made bv members of Congress visiting here,
that a National fusion will take place. It
| scents to be pretty generally understood, that
Mr. FIU.MOKK upon his return from Europe,
understanding that there is no chance for suc
| cess, will voluntarily witndraw from the contest.
Having thus spoken of the general aspect of
' politics, I desire to say something upou the
| character of the members from your county,
! and their services here. I have a right to
| speak, because 1 have been here a large part
| of the session, and have had occasion from my
! position to watch closely their career.
The faithfulness and staudimr of Mr. LAI OIU K
jis vindicated by the position assigned to him
I upon the State ticket. 1 may say that no inera
i ber stands higher for honesty, integrity, aud
i consistency, than lie. Hut I intend to speak
: more at length of Mr. HOLCOMB in thisconnec
; tion. lie has a similar standing to that of
EAPOKTK for the qualities spoken of. lie does
not make set speeches often, but sometimes
proves himself a most formidable opponent in
running debate. The following is nil evidence
of his power in that direction. The other day
i on the debate of the Farmers' and Mechanics'
J Hank of Philadelphia, Mr. JOHNS made a speech
i against all banks, and was asked, what had bc
; come of the bill lie introduced to charter the
Mt. Pleasant Hank. This question was put by
Holcomb. It seemed to settle hard upon his
stomach. M'Carthy came to Johns' relief by
asking Holcomb if there was not a bank called
the Towanda Bank in his district, which wound
up its affairs discreditably ? He retorted, that
one of the directors was so corrupt tlmt lie
blew out his braius ; and he crime from J'/ii/a
delp/tia. M'Carthy replied that all the cor
rupt bankers in the state nestled in Philadel
phia. Holcomb not satisfied, replied that one
of the last presidents of the Towanda Hank
m
was a democrat, and is now a delegate to the
Cincinnati Convention. M'Carthy demanded
his name. He said it was C. L. Ward. Mc-
Carthy seemed satisfied with cross-questioning
Holcomb, and quit the business ; for every
time the response came, the members were fair
ly convulsed with laughter. All this badinage
was increased in force, from the fact that Hol
comb has never before got into a regtilar tour-
ncy. He unhorsed every combatant who pre
sented himself.
Bradford would do well to return him here.
It is an advantage to have here a man of ex
perience. It gives his people a superior facili
ty in procuring necessary legislation.
We expect you in the Gibraltar of freedom
to roll up live thousand majority this fall. The
East and West both expect it from von and
we bid you God speed in your contest for the
right. CAPITAL.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The Steamship Africa arrived at New-York
ou Saturday last.
The news from Europe contains no fact of
very great importance. The rejoicings at the
conclusion of Peace are general and hearty in
France. Paris was illuminated on the occa
sion as it had not been for years, even the
most obstiuatc Legitimists and Orleanists join
ing iu the display. Mr. Buchanan was at Pa
ris, where it is said that the very first visit In
paid was to Mrs. James Gordon Bennett of
New York. At St. Petersburg peace was
proclaimed ou the Ist iust., the imperial mani
festo declaring that the object for which Rus
sia had urged the war was now attained in
the guaranty, by the treaty of peace, of the
rights of Christians in the East. According
to this view of the case Russia has gained
everything she sought in the war ; the Czar
however makes no allusion to the losses and
humiliations she has suffered in achieving that
immense result. It is rumored that the Rus
sian monarch will presently visit France and
England, and that a squadron is being got
ready to transport him. This is altogether
unlikely.
In England there is no general satisfac
tion at the peace ; some classes are glad to
have it, but the country at large would rather
have fought on in the hope of retrieving Eng
land's lost prestige. The military commis
sion to inquire into the results of the former
inquiry into the misconduct of certain aristo
cratic Crimean Generals has commenced its
sittings.
How THE Ib: ACE WAS SIGNED.— The Em
press Eugenie having expressed a wish to pre
serve the pen with which the peace was signed,
the gallant diplomats made use of one plucked
from the wing of a living eagle, and the relic
is now in her possession, ornamented with gold
and diamonds. In addition to signing the
principal documents, each of the plenipoten
tiaries had to put his name to eighty-six sepa
rate paragraphs. The treaty might have been
signed on the 29th ult., but Louis Napoleon
who a fleets the Napoleonic fondness for an
niversaries, desired that the ceremony should
be deferred until the 30th of March, the day
on which the Allies entered Paris in IS It.
THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE. J
Mr. WAI.TOX read iu place a bill to author- 1
ize {he Commissioners of Bradford county to
erect a basement in their public building, iu
Towanda, for the purpose of fire engines, fuel, ■
Ac. ; which was immediately taken up, aud
passed finally.
The SPEAKER presented a petition from citi
zens of Ulster, Bradford county, for a law to
compel the Towanda Bridge Company to
lengthen their bridge two spans.
On motion of Mr. M'CI.INTOCK, House bill
No. 85(, to provide for the meeting of the
school directors of Bradford county, was ta
ken up.
Mr. IJrcKAi.EW opposed the bill, for the
reason that it was interfering with the har
monious and uniform operation, of the gene
ral school law.
Mr. Pi AIT advocated the bill, lie trusted
that it would pass, as the people iu Bradford
desired to be relieved from what they regard
ed as a great wrong. It might be proper to
state that the voice from that section was
strongly in favor of relief, and this appears to
be the only method now left them, aud as a
last resort they look with much interest to the
passage of the bill, and I trust it may pass.—
I have made inquiry of the School Depart
ment, and they also join in the opinion that
this legislation would lie of advantage to the
school system in Bradford county, and feel
friendly to the passage of the bill. I there
fore again call upon the Senate to aid me in
restoring peace and harmony to the school
system in the county of Bradford.
The members in the House from that coun
ty have attempted to repeal the section of the
! law that provides for the election of County
Superintendent, but were voted down ; and
they, as well as the people, demand of us fa
vorable action, and I trust that in this the
wishes of the members and the people may be
gratified. I speak understand!nglv, and be
lieve it but an act of justice, that they have a
right to expect and demand favorable action
by this body ; and I am here to represent
faithfully what I believe to be demanded by
all concerned—and I do therefore insist that
! in this their wishes may be gratified.
Mr. M'CI.INTOCK also made a few remarks
; in favor of the bill.
Negatived—yeas 13, nays 15.
Mr. M'CI.INTOCK called up House bill No.
1204, to authorize the Commissioners of Brad
ford county, and the Town Council of the bor
! otigh of Towanda, to erect a public town build
: ing. Passed finally.
Mr. JJCCKAJ.KW, called tip Senate bill No.
j 580, to change the venue in a certain action
[lending in the court of Common Pleas of Brad
ford County, which was negatived—yeas 10,
j nays 10, as follows :
YKAS —Messrs. Browne, Ruekalew. ('reaswell, l-'vans,

liorsK.
Mr. HOLCOMB read in place, " An Act to
authorise the Commissioners of the county of
| Bradford to build the basement story of a
building upon the public square in the boro'
; of Towanda, in said county, for the keeping of
fuel, fire-engines, and other public purposes."
" An Act to authorize the Commissioners of
Bradford county and the town council of the
borough of Towanda to erect a public build
ing," was passed.
" An Act for laying out a State road from
Dushore, in Sullivan county, to the North
Branch canal, in Wvalusiug township, Brad
ford county," was laid over.
The several bids for public printing were
opened and read.
The bid of A. B. Hamilton being the lowest
was approved, and the printing and binding
allotted to him at 60 1-16 per ceHt. below the
prices in the law.
Mr. LAPORTK presented a petition from citi
zens of Tuscaroru township, Bradford county,
for an increase of the fees of constables and
justices of the peace.
Mr. 11..u "OM ii, one from citizens of Bradford
county, asking for the passage of a law to au
thorise the commissioners of said countv to
erect a building for the keeping of fuel, fire
cngiues, Ac., at Towanda ; also, a remoustrnnec
of 120 citizens of Granville township, Brad
ford county, against the passage of any law to
legalize the action of the commissioners of
roads in said township.
The bill to abolish the office of County Su
perintendent of Common schools was taken
up on the 16th inst.
The question then being upon the first and
only section of the bill,
Mr. LAPOKTE said lie bad only a very few
words to say at this time, as the subject had
been very thoroughly discussed on a former
occasion. It was well known that the law
creating the office of County Superintendent
had given rise to great dissatisfaction in seve
ral counties of this Commonwealth. In Brad
ford county it had been the cause of a great
deal of excitement, and lie feared it had con
tributed to make our Common School System
unpopular there.
His colleague and himself were pledged, in
a public letter before the election, to go for a
repeal of this law, and had felt it their duty,
in view of the strongly expressed wishes of
their constituents, to labor for the passage of
this bill. Notwithstanding their public pledge
petitions from Bradford had been seut in with
sonic 100 names asking for the abolition of
the office of County Superintendent.
Gentlemen on this lioor have seen fit to
class the friends of this bill as the enemies of
education. He yielded to no man in his at
tachment to the cause of general education,
and it waa not just to make such sweeping de
nunciations. The honest friends of education
may differ as to the best, means of carrying
out the common object, and it is undeniable
that men who are earnest friends of education
doubt the utility of the office of county super
intendent. lie hoped the House would pass
the hill.
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
ITkins and Mr. Hiu.k<;as, and were —yeas 4.'i,
nays 46.
So the question was determined in the neg
i ative, and the bill fell.
Resuscitation from Ait a nr. Xt ITeattt*.—
i Tbe Rock port Register gives the particulars
j of a singular case of resuscitation after sup
! posed death, in tlyit city :
A child had. to all appearances, died, and
was laid out in his little winding sheet, upon
a board, in an upper room, while the other
preparations were going on for the funeral. —
The sexton was notified, and the grave dug.
I Some time after, the father went into the room
! where the child was, and was astonished at
| its calling him by name, and complaining that
lit did not lie good. Of course the little stif
: fcror was supplied with a better bed at once.
It had evidently fallen info a trance, from
which it was awakened by a hard bed and
cold air.
jfey* The notorious Nathan Brown, the
most remarkable bigamist ever known in Amer
ica, was brought bv officer Elliott the other
day, from near Jeflersonville, Indiana, under
a requisition from Gov. Chase. He is repnt
i edto have nine living wives ! His practice has
I been to live with each about three mouths,
i get hold of their property aird desert them*.—
He is now safe in IJutlei* county jail, at the
instance of his seventh wife, a resident of this
city. The old sea tup is fifty-three years of
age, and lias married three wives within two
