Champion to sink almost instantly. The Champion had. on board between twenty and thirty passengers beside a crew of . eight or- ten pop, and of these, three pas* ~ ' sengers and one firemen are missing, and are sup* , •. posed to haro lost their lives by the accident.

A correspondent joins issue with us on the I question—to whom is the world indebted for I the system of Raiiwaylsm? Wo have claimed I the credit of thajS jdfiYolopment for Geokge 1 Stephenson, upoajhe following grounds: - I As early as tho reign of OhAhles the Second I way-liavea (which .would now be called rail roads), were iu : use. in that part of-England called Northumberland, chiefly in connection with the coal-mines near the town of New- j castle-upon-Tyne. A century later they were described by Abthdb Yocno, who noted that pieces of wood wore let into tho roads for the Wheels of the coal-wagons to run upon, which so much eased the traction, that one horse was able' to draw, with ease, fifty or sixty bushels of coal. Tbe same principle may be seen in operation In our streets every day. The Passenger Railroad Cars owe their facilities aqd success to it. The wagop-roads were not confined to the | North of England. They were to be seen in ! part of Scotland, and in connection with col lierios at Whitehaven, Sheffield, Lougborough, Derby, and Coaibrookedale. Cast iron rails were first used over a century ago, at White haven. By degrees, great economy in horse power was obtained. Numerous projectors suggested plans for impelling wagons or other carriages along tho rails: some by sails, some by the application of steam-power on the high-pressure principle. Over two hundred years ago, one Solomon ns Cads was imprisoned in the Bicetre, at Paris, as a madman, one of his out-of-the-way points being the belief that by steam ships could be navigated and carriages moved. At a later period, others got the idea that car- riages might be propelled along ordinary high ways, by this same motivo power. In 1768, a Frenchman named Gi'QNOt exhibited a steam- carriage before Marshal Saxe, which, when set in motion, went forward with so much force that it knocked down a wall which stood in its way.' Dr. Smiles says, in bis excellent Life of Gboboe Stephenson, “An American inventor, named Oliveb Evans, was also occupied with the same idea, for, in 1772, ho invented a steam-carriage, to travel on common roads, and in 1787 he obtained from tho State of Maryland the exclusive right to make and use steam -carriages. His ■ invention, however, never came into practical use.” ' This, our correspondent informs us, is a mistake. Mr. Evans invented and constructed a high-pressure steam locomotive, capable of good work upon iron railroads, (practically had it running in the streets of Philadelphia,) and, as early ns 1809, vainly endeavored to organize a company to make a railroad from Philadelphia to New Xork. Ho clearly saw what might be, though he did not anticipate the foil extent. In 1818, Mr. Evaks wrote as follows: « The time will come when pcoplo will travel in stages moved by steam engines, from one city to another, almost as fast as birds fly, fifteen or twenty miles an hour. A car riage will set out from Washington in the morning, passengers will breakfast at Balti timoro, dine at Philadelphia, and sup at. New York the some day. To accomplish this, two sets of railways will bo laid, so nearly level os not in any place to deviate more than two degrees from a horizontal line, made of wood or iron, on smooth parts of broken stone ar gravel, with a rail to guide the carriages so that they may pass each other in different direc tions, and travel by night as well as by days and the passengers will sleep in these stages as comfortably as they now do In steam stage boats.” , . In 1784 Mr, Sikihoiok, who made experi ments on stoam navigation—though Fcltoh most undoubtedly must he considered the in ventor of steamboats, seeing that ho was ac tually the first person who did run a vessel by steam upon the water, for .a distance—con structed a, steam-carriage to run on common roads. In the same year William Mubbook, assistant of James Watt, made a steam-loco motive, on the high-pressure principle, which actually ran away with him. In 1802, Richard Thevethiok patented a similar invention, with the improvement of moving a piston by tho elasticity of steam against the pressure only of the atmosphere, and actually ran it, on ordi nary roads, ftom Cornwall to London. He subsequently made several improvements in steam-carriage. In 1818 Mr. Blackett, a northern colliery owner, who made a great many experiments on adapting steam locomo tives to railway travelling, discovered that the weight of the engine would of itself produce sufficient adhesion to enable it to drag after it, on a smooth tram-road, the requisite number of wagons, in all kinds of weather. This was a great step in advance. Abont the same time, Goboe Stephenson, then a man with little education, was engine wright of the collieries at Killingwoith, near Newcastle, and desired to save expense by a more economjcal haulage of the coal from the pits to the side of the river Tyne. The keep of horses was costly, and ho wished to use an engine on the tram-road to supersede them. He made himself acquainted with the principle and working of Tbevethick’s and other steam locomotives within reach, and set to work to make one of bis own—combining, embodying, and improving the good points of the others. Lord RavenswobtU, who had a largo coal property in the vicinity, authorized him to con struct an engine at his cost. He put smooth wheels upon his locomotive, and his engine, after ten months labor upon it, made its first trip in July, 1814, drawing eight loaded carriages of thirty tons’ weight at four miles an hour, and continuing in regular work for some time. In the following year, Stephen, son invented the steam-blast, which doubled the power of the engine. Practically, lha l was th 6 commencement of the Railway system. Other improvements followed, and, without much original invention, but great adaptive skill, George Stephenson, in 1816, had pro duced the type of the present locomotive en gine. Still it was not yet capable of being worked, on the colliery tramways, at a cheaper rate than horses worked. Ho had to improve the railroad itself. At last, in 1822, Mr. Ste phenson construetod tho Hetton Railway, eight miles in length,. near Sunderland, and each of his engines, at four miles an hour speed, drew after it a train of seventeen wagons, weighing about sixty-four tons. At the same time ho was constructing tho Stock ton and Darlington Railway, twelve miles long, which was., opened for traffic in September, 1826—the locomotives running upon it some times at the speed of twelve miles an hour, and taking passengers as well os drawing coals. The material and pecuniary success of this railway was sufficient to encourage the money ed men of Manchester and Liverpool, to con struct a lino between these great commercial towns, tho execution of which was entrusted to Geoboe Stephenson, who accomplished it am(jl numerous difficulties. At last, however, on the 16th of September, 1880, the lino was opened. The Rocket, Stephenson’s prize locomotive, had actually ran 35 miles in an hour. This properly commenced Railwayiam in England, which immediately radiated over this and other countries, until the length of tho lines may be counted by thousands of miles. Geobqb Stephenson, who had been work ing at RailwayUm for over twonty years, who was tho man whoso ability and perseverance successfully completed it, who did what others talked of, and who improved the old wooden tramway into the malleable iron rail way, must be looked upon os the person to whom the world !s indebted for tho system of Rallwayism. Mr. Evans Invented tho high-pressure en gine i hut, with worse luck, ho made nothing of it, did nothing with It. The principles of his discovery were speedily appropriated by other persons—-by Stephenson himself among them—but he was a generation or two too soon. Geobqb Stephenson, no one can doubt, was the practical person who gave Railway travelling to England, and to tho world. Tub Fuel Savings Society.— Wehayoresolved a pamphlet containing an account of the operations of this Society during the last year, from whioh U Is evident that It has been of great service to the industrious and deserving poor in obtaining fuel, and that much good would be done if a larger number of persons availed' themselves of its ad vantages.

The Reign of Riot and Bloodshed in Baltimore. | Wo direct the attention of our readers to the telegraphic dotails of the sad scenes onact ed during yesterday at the election in Balti more. Violence and murder seem to have I become chronio in that ill-fated city. 'What was at first regarded as impulse, has settled into a disease. The law I s powerless in tho midst of the"mob, and the patriotic efforts of the wise and good have failed to secure order 1 and decency, and oven a reasonably impartial I government. Tho attempt to cxcrciso tho I I right of suffrage has been punished, and hUffiah 1 1 life has been sacrificed without mercy, and I almost without provocation. No such epec- I tacie has ever before boen witnessed in this 1 country. Who shall supply the remedy 1 I Tho good' men of Baltimore seem, in good I (kith, to have resorted to every available | means within thoir power. The organize ltion against tho spirit of ruffianism, en- I tered into before the election, extended to, land included, the best men of all parties, land of all avocations; but it has accom- I plished nothing, save only to rekindle the I fory of the mob, and to fomisli a now pretext I for now murders. Ho who shall suggest a I plan by which Baltimore may ho protected I from the fiends that now sully her fair fame I will, indeed, be a public benoiactor. Better from “Occasional.” [Correspondence of The Press.] Washington, November 2,1850. There is nothing more common than for political I leadors to misunderstand tho masses, and in this I view I predict that the persistent assaults of many I of the Republican journals upon Judge Douglas will be found to bo a poor investment However these newspapers, and those who now hold the reins of the Republican party, may have differed with Judge Douglas on other questions, they oan never obliterate from the minds of those they aspire to control, a grateful remembrance of %> stand ho assumed more than two years ago against the in- | consistency and follies of the Federal Administra- j tion in a matter involving the most saored princi- j pies. Thera are, I believe, to-day, thousands of men jin the Opposition party—particularly in the free | States—who would voto for Mr. Douglas in prefer ence to any other candidate; and those who, for mere selfish motives, conceive it right to traduce Mr. Douglas, will find no response to their attacks in tbe rank and file of their own party. No good can come of such animadversions. There is no I candidate for tho Presidency who cannot be de* I nounced in good, round terms, and if tho friends of I Mr. Douglas were to retaliate they could find an | abundance of subjects, as they can abundant pro | vocations. It certainly does not look well to see j tho Administration and Republican journals join | ing in tho same cause.against tho Senator from II- I linols. Tho first indulge an unforgiving hatred j beoauso he was true to himself and to his pledges; I bnt tbe second have no such justification as this, I discreditable as it is. I regret to be oompolled to say that Mrs. Doug las, during the last few days, has been in great danger. On Tuesday sho was vory much pros trated. Although bettor this morning, she Is still seriously ill. The arrival of the New York Times of Tuesday —the most enterprising journal in this country— announcing that Hon. Revordy Johnson was tho author of the remarkable paper just published in Baltimore, over the signature of “ A Southern Cititen ” created quite a stir in political oiroles. I 1 1 do not know what authority the Times has for | I conferring tbe authorship upon Mr. .Johnson; but it is generally believed that the argument has pro* | eeeded from his pen. It is, unquestionably, the I most overwhelming blow that Judge Blaok and | the Administration havo yet rooelved. Mr. John son has oocupiod a numbor of distinguished posi tions, was a Senator in Oongress from Maryland, has been Attorney General of the Unitod States, and is, to-day, one of the- most successful practi tioners before the Supreme Court. His high social I position, bis intimate knowledge of publio men, and his long years of connection with the politics lof tho country, will give to this paper a wide- J spread influence. I think he has exhausted I tho subjeot, and if your readers will peruse carefully his argument under the bead of the fifth I proposition, they will agree with me that be has j not left a vestige of Judge Blaok’a “observations” In regard to the rights of the people in the Terri j torios. Mr. Johnson has no griefii to atenge, no disappointments to oomplaln of at tho hands of the I Administration. He is so far above any neoessity j for offioo, his ambition has been so fully gratified in the various positions he has filled, and his buri- I ness before tho Supreme Court is so immense, that Jhe stands in a perfectly disinterested attitude. J He not only sustained Mr. Buohanan's election in 11856 in'n series of able speechos, but he gave his j money with characteristic generosity. Living In I Washington, ho has had a full opportunity to I watch the proceedings of the Administration, and I to weigh tho integrity and sincerity of the Presi- I dent and hiß Cabinet. We now have his unbiased judgment, pronounoed in a calm, dispassionate, and I statesmanlike manner, without feeling, without j epithets, and after the fullest and most searching investigation of the whole matter in issue between I the Executive and the people. We shall shortly I see the batteries of the organs of power turned J upon this jpure and upright man. Failing, as they | will fall to meet his logio, or to answer his terrible accusation, they will of coarse attempt to do with him what they have done with all others who have refused to accept Mr. Buchanan’s treachery as the gospel faith of the Demooratio party. A very general feeling begins to manifest itself that Governor Wise may commute tho sentence of death about to be pronounood upon “ Old John Brown,” to imprisonment for life; and I have some reason to believe that snob will be the case. Brown himself seomß to bo entirely indifferent to bis fate, and will no doubt take tho first oppor tunity to issue suoh an appeal to the Northern States as will fan tho embers of fanaticism into a flam®- Occasional. Madame Anna Bishop's First Concert* Last night, Madame Anna Bishop gave a con cert at Musical Fund Hall, the first for a long time. She was most enthusiastically greeted on appearing to sing “Casta Diva,’’ which she executed with surpassing beauty of voice, charm of manner, and depth of expression, and which, by the way, was tho solo which was not encored. 6ho also gave a duet, from “L’EHser d’Amore,” with Bignor Mo* rino, whioh went off extremely well. Her voloo has' not lost any of its swootness, powor, or delicate intonation. It is as fresh os when wo first heard it, far away, twenty years ago, (she was very young at that time,) and education and practice have matured, strengthened, and mel lowed It. As a singer of ballads, Madame Bishop has no superior. From her lips, the familiar “Home, sweet Home” sounded with lingering sweetness and pathos, and she did full justioe to Moore’s Irish melodies, several of whioh were in the programme. Among these, “Tho Last Rose of Summer” was the most effective. After “Oft in the Stilly Night,” whioh is from Moore’s Na tional melodies*, sho gave, on the enoor e, ‘ ‘Coming through tho Rye,” a song which the Italian vocal ists, from Sontag down, always have taken great delight in murdering at oonoerts, by mispronunci ation of the words, and mlsapprooiatlon of the subject. Signor Morino, the baritone, is what might bo oalled a useful singer. Ilia voice does not possess any great compass, but his manner is good, and he has undoubtedly been eduoated in a very good sohool. His chief power seems to lie in buffo sing ing. He gave satisfaction to the audionoe. Mr. IV. H. Cooko has a tenor voloo of great sweetness. He ought esohow Italian solos and duets os much os possiblo, and sing in his own mother-tongue. Not that he sang Italian badly, (he was oncored in Moroadante’s “Holla Ado rata,”) but that he sings English Infinitely hotter. Ono of tho most successful solos of the evening was tho ballad “Dearest, I think of Thee,” which bo sang admirably. Ho Is young, and of a pre possessing appearance. Young Arthur Napoleon, tho Portuguese pianist) was to have performed at this concert, but was prevented by real illness, (forheis said tobeamost reliable and faithful artist,) whioh was stated as the exouso for his non-attondanoe. His absence, however inevitable, was a serious disappointment. Ono of Chickering’a fine Instruments had been pro oared for his uso. Mr. J. Behrens, who played the (accompaniments to the songs Is a good timeist, and gave satisfaction to all. Madame Anna Bishop will give a second concert at Mnsioal Fund Hall, on Friday ovonlng. Juatioo to Mr. Dan Rico, tho manager of the “Great Show” at the National Theatre, (Walnut street, above Eighth,) requires that we should speak in the highest terms of the manner in whioh he conducts that establishment. The variety of his performances, the order that prevails, and the high character of tho artists he has engaged, have rendered his circus a placo that is destined to be come one of tho most popular roßort* in the oity. Mr. Charles Noyoe, the trainer and exhibitor of the Animals, desorves especial praise for the manner in which he oonduots his portionof tho performances ! and also Mr. Murray, and Mr. Holland, the princi pal gymnasts, for their unrivalled performances of the Roman Brothers, in which thoy appeared with great success before tho orowned heads of Europo. Yesterday afternoon a large audience, composed of ladies and children, attended tho show, and last night the house was orowded. We wish him abundant success.

Lorini, Testa, Gassier, Nani, Gasparoni, and others, under Mr. Servadlo, who hoe undertaken the direction of the oroheatra until tho arrival of Max Ma retsek, who was expeoted about tho Ist ins., with tho now tenors and the baritone Fioronza. t Harrison Literary Institute.—Mr. Wendell Phillips, of Boston, will lecture at Jayne's Hall this evening, before the Hamson Literary Insti tute, upon “The Lost Arts.” It is an excellent lecture, and ought to draw a large houso. Dr. Edgar and the Catholic* of Ireland. [For The Press.] In tho North Amertcan and United States Ga zette of Friday morning last, is wn article headed “A Memorablo Evening at Jayno’s Rail,” in which, after describing the immense ‘ concourse and the enthusiasm displayed by parsons and people, by Covenanters and reformod Presbyterians on the oooasion of the reoeption of the deputation of the Presbyterian Ohuroh of Ireland, the official writer I I gives an outline of the addross of tho Rov. Dr. Edgar, one of the deputation, whtoh, if oorroctly reported, proves tho Doctor to bo anything but a minister of poaoe and a herald of evangelical truth. The Doctor asserts that Deinstor, Munster, and Connaught remain to be ChristUtiizid. Those I three provlriceff of Ireland, it is Well known, ore | I Catholic, and there tho Catholic faith flourishes. ! I strong in talent, education, wealth, refinement, j and mombers; yet the groat mass of intolH -1 gent and prnotioal Catholics are not, accord ing to Dr. Edgar) eVon Christians. Could a I grosser insult, be offored to tho Catholio world— I which is, by the by, more than three-fifths of the civilised world—than to deny its Christianity, to I refuse them a place among the followers of the I Gospel, when from tho Catholics alone the Gospel I has been received in its integrity ? If tho CAtholios I of Ireland aro not Christians, thou tho C&tholios of America, of Franoo, of Germany, Ao., are not Chris tians, and thus the insult offered by Dr. Edgar to his countrymen rebounds upon thoir brothron of the faith throughout tho universe. The Catholics of Philadelphia, numbering 125,- 000, and those of the rest of tho Union, amounting to nearly six millions, are, at one fell swoop, tin - Christianised, and levelled to the baso condition of idolators or barbarians by this envoyof tboPresby terian Churoh of Ireland. But this is not all. The amiable Dootor, who assures us that he loves tbe Catholics, asserts that the Irish peasantry, ■which the late O’Connell, who knew them well, pro* nounoed the finest peasantry in the world, are at present entirely under the control of tho priest and whiskey. Their position must indeed be Tory peculiar, not to say impossible, and tho Dootor, if he has sot perpetrated a ball, has oertainly givon loose to a wild Imagination. We know, from expe rience, that tho only opponent to the effeotual influ ence) of tho priest in this oountry over the Irish is whiskey. How, thon, can tho priest and whiskey ever lire in Ireland to oontrol tho Irish ? Bnt the state ment is untrue, for it is well known that Fathor Ma thew bad more influence over the Irish peasantry than whiskey, and enrollod under his glorious standard men even by Amerioan Protestants, nearly five millions of tetotallers. Now the Catho lic peasantry—lreland drunkards—how could thoy display, as thoy did last year, this, tho phenome non of a people among whom there was no ves tige of crime, entire oountics exhibiting no oase on the docket for tho courts in their oircuit to try, so that the judges received the compliment of a pair of white gloves as evidonoo of the faot. Can this bo said of any other oountry in tho world ? Yot, forsooth, of these Irish, somo 800,000 have come to this oountry, and aro “a nnisanoo to tho oommunUy, and the tool of every dirty, political demagogue,” so says Dr. Edgar, the lover of Irish Catholics, Others are yot to come, he tells ns; but should they not be evangelizod boforo thoy some here, Instead of coming hero tho ignorant and bigoted creatures that thoy are ? Is this language whioh a gentleman, I will not say a minister of the Gospel, should use as descriptive of any community? Does it not show the animus of tho hatred and oon tempt whioh are incompatible with him ? How, then, oan tho Dootor, without doing wrong to his own conscience, assert that ho loves a people whom he thus vilifies? But is this language which should be approved of, and oheered to the ooho by re ligious men and women, ministers and deacons of various churches, as were gathered together in Jayne’s Hall on that memorable ovoning? Can it be intended for any other purpose than to insult Catholics, and excite tho passions and prejudices of the mob against them, as was the case in 1844, in this very city? * * * # Letter from “ Wanderer*” Sak Hill’s, Shawnee Village, Indian Territory, Oot. 5, 1859. Indians when fishing uso tho flpear, bow and arrows, or poison; rarely, if ever, resorting to the seine, t saw bat one seine, &nd£pt was made and used by white men. Spearing nsh and shooting them with arrows have been ofton dosoribed, bat lam not aware that the modus operand i Of poisoning them Is so well known. At certain sea sons of the yoar a long black root oalled “ tho Devil’s shoe-string” is takon oat Into the middle of the stream and beaten with paddles or stones, until the water is attested by it. Soon (be fish : come to the top and are gathered. I have never j heard of any bad results, from eating fish thus | caught. I Who has not heard of tho Irish howl t Lament | atlons over the dead, accompanied by feasts, have ' marked the easterns of many cations. The In- ;dians have exactly such a howl. It is immaterial i whether it takes place a month, or a year, or two I years after tho burial. Tho frfondsof the deceased | are invited to a feast, set out near tho gravo. | When all havo assembled, ponies have been toth- I ored or hoppled) and all are squatted in a circle, I oaob draws his blanket over his ho&d, and at onoe | commences a howl that defios description. Wail ing and gnashing of teeth are the programme, and it is religiously adhered to. Never, perhaps, was I there such deliberate sorrow; oertainly there nover I before was more vigorous lamentation. After a I good ary they fall upon the feast, and while being | equally earnost, are, I have no doubt, much moro | sincere. I have heard that amongst some tribes, when a party had filled himself to repletion, ho I wont out, took a black draught, vomited all he had I eaten, and began upon the feast ae novo. I didn’t I see any suob. Six bridges aro being constructed upon the east ern end of Lieutenant Beale’s far-famed route to the Faoiflc ocean', under an appropriation of money made by Congress for that purpose at its last ses sion. The gonoral supervision of tho work is in tho hands of Henry B. Edwards, Esq., of Chester, Delaware oounty, Pa.—son of tho former member of Congress from the Sixth district—a gentleman in high respoct with the ohieft and head men of the various Indian tribes occupying this country, and holding a vast influence with the Indians them selves, from his uniform and careful regard for their Interests. I may as well say it here aa in another place, that, too frequently, teamsters of Govornmont trains, and of trains ownod by tradors, make freo uso of tho proporty of tho Indians that roam at large in tho sevoral ranges, but that whilst Lieutenant Boalo and Mr. Edwards have led large companies of men and oattle through this region, I have to hear the first word spoken against them. On tho contrary, they are remembored in the kindest manner by all, and especially by the oongrogation of tho little church near Billy Haijoe’s, In the Creek nation, for pre venting treos being oat down and timber taken away for flrowood, when, last fall, they encamped near by, in the midst of cold and rainy weather. Tho bridges aro of iron. Thoy were manufactured in Philadelphia, upon Murphy’s improved Whipple plan, by tho contractors, A. P. Roberts & Co., and are being put up by J. R. Novins, assisted by Messrs. Van Andon andEvorott, also of Philadelphia. One is to oross tho Poteau near Fort Smith, Arkansas, the second Red Bank creek, noar Skullyvillo, tho third the Littlo Sans Bois, tho fourth tho Big Sans Bois, tho fifth Longtown, or Frenchman’s oroek, tho last four in tho Chootaw Nation, and tho sixth Little river, in the Creek Nation. Upon a plan whioh the people hero have, the latter is called Little river, because it is one of the largoot, stoepest-bankod, and fastest running. It is about one hundred and eighty miles from Fort Smith. The abutments of alt tho bridges are built with tho exception of those for the Poteau. Red Bank bridge is completed, and that at Little river will be in a few days, when the flooring has been put down. This Little River bridge Is a boautiful'ltruoturo. It orosses the rlvor at the narrowest part. Tho banks arevory high, and it loapi from the solid masonry dose to one, to the other, with & spring as airy and as light as the skip of n fairy. From tho first tho subject excited the curiosity of tho natives, and as tho boxes arrived, and tbo iron pieces wore turned out, they began to wonder how a bridge across the mad torront of Littl e river could bo oonstruoted of thorn. Miooos—chiefs— largo and small, and warriors, gewgawod off, in all tho absurdity of savago pageantry,-assembled upon the banks, and held a pow-wow over tho boxes and their iron contonts. “ neury B. Edwards, Esq., Fort Smith, Arkansas,” the direction up on the boxes, was eagerly seized upon as giving some oluo to tbo mystery, but when one was found who oould read it they were left as muoh in tho dark as beforo. One arch of iron was strotohod, and then they laughed—“Ha! ha! faint wide enough for our ponies tboy, simple souls, who had never seen a bridge, deeming the aroh was tho bridgo. Now both arches are up, and tho road ways aro levelled to the road-way of the bridge, the structure exoitos unbounded admiration. It is ouly with a stealthy step they wrero induced, at first, to approach it, muoh ns if they were about to tread upon a rattlesnake; but now thoy hang upon it and round it as if thoir existonco depended upon being near it.

Ho had his riflo balanced in front of him, a'deer-skln suit on, and his faoa and part of his hair paintod with vermillion dhd blue, making him look like first ruffian In an Indian melo-drAma. Ilia squaw, who followed him, was astrido ono pony, and her son was strapped to anothor, together with a few traps. The Kiokapoo brought up suddenly, gavo a fierce gaze at tho bridgo, and grunting an indig nant Ugh! loped up tho further bank and into tho forest. When roads wore boing made in Ore gon the Walla-Wallas, and Oayuies, and the othor tribes thero, raised the scalp holloa, and made war, alleging that roads once made through their lands and their destiny was accomplished. So, perhaps, thought the poor Kiokapoo warrior. | Notwithstanding the chief of tho Upper Creeks in oonneil directed the Indians to lend Mr. Ed wards every assistance, it was a long while beforo ho could employ any holp. The slaves fled to tho woods as soon as they learned that they were hired, and thoir ownors wore too lazy to hunt them up Some, at last, exhibited a willingness to go to work and it would havo exploded old Leathor Stocking to bavo watched the awkwardness of their attempts to handle tho pick and shovol. No pecuniary re ward of whatevor magnitude could have persuaded them to trust their dark-colored humanity upon the | scaffolding for raising tho iron to its placo.

In the Twelfth and Sixteenth wards a gang of rowdies from Washington, fully armed, aro aiding I the Baltimore roughs. Tho Indicntions now aro that the Reformers, as a general thing, have abandoned tbo oontest, finding it impossible to voto without risking tboir lives.

In tho Fifth ward, a man, whose namo is un known, was droadfully beaten. In relation to the assault upon Mr. Preston, the roost reliable report Is that it occurrod At Govans town, in tho Ninth distriot, Baltimore county. Ono Account says that tho Assailant was an Irishman, but it is difficult to arrive at the truth with so many oonfliotlng reports. This evening tho streets are nearly desorted, ex cept by the victorious party. Tho stores wero generally closed at dark. Tho proprietor of the Exchange having beon threatened with an rp9quß upon his offioo, has made a demand upon tho city authorities for pro tection.

Charlestown, Va., Oct. 2.—Messrs. Russell and Lonnot, attorneys from Boston, reached here to-day. Cook was brought before the magistrate’s court, but waived an exannuatiod. He was committed for trial. Coppoo's trial was resumed. No witnesses were called for tho defenco. Mr. Harding opened the argument for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Hoyt and Griswold followed for the defendant. Mr. Hunter olosed for the proaeontien. The speeches were of mArkod ability. L Mr. Griswold asked for several instructions, whioh were all granted by the oourt. The ju# then rotired. SENTENCE OP JOHN BROWN—HIS SPEECH. Brown was then brought into the Court nouse, which was immediately Thronged. The Court gave its decision on the motion to ar rest judgment, overruling the objections made On tho objection that treason cannot be committed against a State exoept by a citizen, it ruled that wherever allegiance was duo, treason may be com mitted ; most of tho States havo passed laws against treason. The objections as to the form of the ver- I diet rendered were also regarded as insufficient. | Tho olerk then asked Brown whether he had anything to say why sentence should not be pro- I nouncod, when Brown stood up, and in a clear and distinct voice said: *• I have, may it please tho Court, a few words to say. “ In the first place, I deny everything but what I havo all along admitted—the design on my part to free the slaves. I intended, certainly, to have mado a cloan thing of that matter, as I did last winter, when I went into Missouri and thero took tho slaves without the snapping of a gun on either Bide, moved them through tho oountry, and finally left them in Canada. I designed doing the same thing again, on a larger scale. That was all I in tended. I never did intend to commit murder or treason, or to destroy property, or to excite or inolto tho slaves to rebellion, and to make an : insurrection. “ I have nnother objection, and tbatis.itisunjnat that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I inter fered in the manner which I admit—and which I admit has been fairly proved, (for I admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of tho witnesses who havo testified in this cose) —bad I so interfered in behalf of tho rich, the powerful, the intelligent, tho so-called great, or in behalf of tholr friends, either father, mother, brother, eisler. wife, or children, or any of that olass, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right. Everyman in thiß court would have deemed it an act worthy of re ward, rather than puuishment. This court ac knowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the tho law of God. I seo a book kissed here which I suppose to be tho Bible, or at least the new Tes tament. That teaohes me that 'all things what soever I would that men should do to me, I should do oven so to them.’ It teaches me further to 1 re member thoso that aro in bonds as bonnd with j them.’ I endeavored to act up to that instruction. II say lam yet too young to understand that God is I any respeotcr of persons. I believe that to have in- I terfered, ns Ihavedone, as I hare alwaysfreoly ad- I mitted T havo done, in behalf of His despised poor, | was no wrong, but right. Now, if it is aeemea ne cessary that I should forfeit my lifo for tho furtherance of tho ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enaotmonts, I submit—so let it bo done. Let mo say ono word farther. I fee! entirely satisfied with the treatment I have I received on my trial. Considering all tho eiremn- I stances, it been moro generous than I expeoted; I but I feci no consciousness of guilt. I havo stated I from the first what was my intention, and what was not. I never had any design ng&lnat the life of any porson. nor any disposition to commit treason, or exalte the slaves to rebel or make any general insurrection. I nov£r encouraged any man to do so, but atways discouraged any idea of that kind. Let me say, Also, in regard to the statements made by some of those connected with me—l hear it has been ‘SiA’ed by some of them that I havo induced them to join me, but the contrary is true. Ido not say this to ipjure them, but as regretting their weakness. Not one joined mo but of bis own ac cord, and the greater part at their own expense. 1 A number of them I never saw and never had a word of conversation with, till the day they came to me; and that was for the purpose I nave stated. Now I havo done.” While Brown was speaking, perfect quiet pre vailed. When he had finished, the Court pro oecrled to pronounce the sentence. After a few preliminary remarks, in which* he said no rcasona ole doubt could exist as to the prisoner’s guilt, he senttnted him to be hung, in public, on Friday , the 2d of December. Brown received tho sentence with composure. The only demonstration made, was with the clap ping of hands by one man in the crowd who is not & resident of Jefferson county. This was promptly suppressed, and much regret was expressed by the oitizens at its ocourreneo. TUB VERDICT IN COPPEB’S CASE—GtJILTT OX ALL After being out an hour, tho jury in the caso of Coppeo returned with a verdict, declaring him guilty on all the counts in the indictment. Ills counsel gave notice of a motion to arrest judgment, as inßrown’s case. Tho court then adjourned. Washington, Nov. 2.—Mr. Conner, tho United States consul at Mazatlan, is now here, lie has obtained from the Constitutional Government sevoral concessions of a commercial character, one of which is tho permission to run a steamer on the Mexican Pacific coast under the Amorican flag. Ho has partially mode arrangements with ono of tho stOAmsbip companies to connect with its line at AcApuico, thereby affording a direct steam commu nication on that coast twice a month. Tho despatches from Consul Black to tho State Department shows that Ormond Chase was most maliciously murdered in Mexico by the officers be longing to the Church party. All that it was in tho President’s power to do, will be or has been done in view of that orime. If more is neces sary to protect the lives and property of Ameri can citizens in that country, Congress must provide further means. Thero is no doubt that tho Presi dent will prominently present this subject in bis annual message. The friends of tho Constitutional Government in Moxico think that it is highly essential that Seiior Lerdo should immediately roturu to Y r era Cruz, in order to exert hU influence townrd & consummation of tho pending treaty with the United States. General lleran,the minister from New Granada, is In the city. The prospect now is that that Re public will ratify the treaty as amended by the united States Senate. The Congress of New Gra nada will not, however, meet till next February. The Postmaster General loft the city to-day, for & brief visit to Charleston ; therefore no definite aotton on the bids for carrying tho mails between Portland and New Orleans will be mado till his re turn. The Visit of the Philadelphia Firemen to Hnrrisbnrg. Harrisburg, Nov. 2.— Tlio firemen’s parade yesterday passed off in splendid stylo, eclipsing anything of tho kind ever beforo witnessed hero.

The Emplro Company were escorted this morning by the Mount Vernon Company to tho executive ohamber, where tho Governor welcomed them, in a neat speech, whioh was roplied to, on behalf of the Empire Company, by Mr. Smith.

Yesterday morning, shortly before sunrise, a negro, oorrying a bag fall of pur loined and decapitated poultry, wbs shot by a police offioer, near tho Gray’s Ferry bridge, in the Twenty-fourth ward. The negro was an unknown man, and was about five feet four inohes in height, stout built, dressed in a dark coat and pants, plaid vest. Kossuth hat, and odd boots; moustache and whiskers. Nameunknown. As the circumstances have been wrongly stated, we give the evidence before Coroner Fenner, who held an inquest yes terday afternoon. Tho first witness was John F. Roan sworn.—l am a police officer, and was stationed at the Gray’s Ferry bridge; at 6i o’olock this morning I saw deceased coming towards tho bridge with a bundle orer bis shoul ders; he acted quite suspiciously, looking behind him, Ao.; the watchman of the bridge was with me; I asked deceased what he had; ho objected to telling me; I commenced examining his bag and found four headless chickens; he had also with him r satchel, with ten pounds of white sugar; he broke from mo and commenced stoning me, and said “ you, you can’t take me;” my nephew was there at the time, and be was struck with a stone; I discharged my pistol at him, firing at his hips; ho began running and throwing stones; when I fired again he stumbled and fell; I ran and pioked him up. thinking I had shot him, and found him very weak; we then laid him on a bank, and there he died. Francis Roan was then called and sworn,—Re sides at Gray’s Ferry bridge; is sonerintendent; about 6j o’olock this morning I mot John Roan, an offioer; he called my attention to the deceased, who was coming along, with a bag; his conduct was suspicious, nnd wo got behind a fence and waited till he came up; John examined his bag, when dooeased got loose and commenced firing stones; one struck me; I did not see John fire his pistol, but heard the shots and saw deceased fall, and John go and pick him up; when he fell John was ten or twclvo yards off; he died shortly after, and was removed to the station house. Dr. Brown subscquentljjmado a post-mortem ex amination of deceased, and discovered a nistol-shol wound beneath the right shoulder, in the back, pe netrating tho heart and Inngs. Tbo inquest was adjourned over until 9 o’clock this morniDg. Officer Roan is under arrest to await the verdict. The Chip Basket.—Yesterday morning, about 2 o’clock.

Two more games wero played with Mr. Tilghman at the same odds, the first of which was won by the young Southerner, and the second by Mr. T.

Reading Railroad shares improved a fraction to-day, sales bring made at 19j. Elmira second mortgage bonds fell *0 8. Flmira stock sold at 3—the same price that wa3 obtained for the Catawisaa. A few shares of Farmer*’ and Me chanics’ Bank stock was sold at 561. The money market is not changed in any of its features. The recent failure of the Canadian banks bears hardly upon the people in and about Buffalo. Well established institutions in that city advertised that they would redeem the notes of these banks at par, awd did so while they held funds for that pur pose, just as our brokers and banks do for the doubtful banks in our own neighborhood. Ai soon as the little fund provided for the redemption was exhausted, the promising banks refused to redeem any more ; and the people wbo have been induced to take their notes, because of the promise to re deem them, rather than in confidence that the in stitutions issuing them were trustworthy, hare been left to suffer. We believe, with the people of Buf falo, that the institutions that thus promised re demption are nearly equally culpable with those that issued the notes and failed. The Buffalo Courier says: The reeent failure of tho International and dolonial Banka of Canada suggests some legislative interference, by which our citixens mar be protected from loss by worth less currency. It may bo safely assumed that Bnf fslonians do not take the bills of foreign sshkc because they know anything of the intrinskf'Worth iof the 11 promises to paj.” They aocept them in the course of business, because men of known re sponsibility in this city and vicinity advertise to redeem them at par, or at a nominal discount, thus virtually endorsing the notes. Now, weinsist that when a banker advertise to redeem soch notes at a specified price, he ought to be held responsible, to the same extent as if he haid issued the notes himself, and that he should be compelled to give at least three months notice that on and after stab a day he will cease to redeem the bills he has pre viously certified to be good. In the present case, there are thousands et dol lars of the bills of the International and Colonial Banks of Canada in the hands of men wbo have received them in payment for labor. Without a moment’s warning, they are Informed that they are worthless, or nearly so. Those wbo haye hith erto mAde them enrrent by their personal pledge refuse them altogether, or offer for them a very vul gar fraction of their face. Such a state of things should not be permitted to exist The law should come in and say to the men who have advertised to redeem tho notes of a foreign bank. “ you must keep your promises for at least ninety d*fs after you make them. By an advertisement in oor paper, it will be seen that the chattel mortgage bondholders of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad Company are requested to call at the office of Mr. Joseph Harri son, Jr., Washington Building, to sign a power of attorney to enable Messrs. Harrison, Whitney, and Taeker to act for the said bondholders.
