PURE TEA.—LOVE, FOURTH and CHESTNUT, has reduced W» Dollar Black find Te&e to U osuti Bargam, oa > ; > i s %\t |)r'eaa. ! SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1859, Messrs. Peterson have handed us a vo lume, published byJT. 0. H. P. Burnham, of Boston, entitled “ Self Education: or tho Means and Art of Moral Progress, translated Horn tho French of M. lb Baron Degerando, by Elizabeth P. Peabody.” We take this to be that very remarkable book, first pnblishod iB 1824, Du Perfeclionnement Moral,oude Vedu cation de soi-meme, by tho Baron Joseph Ma r4e de Gerando, to which tho French Aca demy decreed their Montyon prize in 1825. New editions appeared in 1820 and 1832. It is to tho Baron de Gerando, who formed the Society for tho Encouragement of Education, that tho system of public schools in France ihust bo credited. The translator would have added to tho valuo of tlio volumo by giving a biographical notico of tho author. Sho must allow us to sketch it, in order that our public may know what manner of man was this, who, amid the, Vtjnhoil of war, and the difficulties Of polUmil changes, steadily pursued his self flevoied citreor, and mode education an cle ment in French Government. Born of an Italian family, at Lyons, in 1770, De Gerando was intendod for tho Church, but abandoned his purpose when tho Rcvolutmn of 1789 placed tho clerical profession at a great dis count. In 1793, at tho defence of Lyons, ho narrowly escaped being shot. 110 fled to Naples, returning in 1797, entered tho army as a private soldier, and, in this capacity, wrote an Essay which won the prizo offered by the ; Institute. After tho 18th Brumairo, Lucien ; Bonaparte, Minister of tho Interior, nomina \ ted him one of the Council of Arts and Com merce. 110 bccamo an author, publishing a lo gical and metaphysical work which attracted some attention, and obtained his admission in 1804 to the Academio des Inscriptions ct Belles Lettres. Next, under M. de Chahpiony, ho became principal secretary to the Ministry ot the Interior, and thus coming undor tho notico of Napoleon, was directed by him to prepare a gonoral view of the situation of the French empiro, to ho presented to tho Legislative body, lie became ono of Napoleon’s espe cial favorites, and was employed by him in several offices of trust and honor, and finally made him member of tho Council of Stato, officer of the Legion of Ilonor, and a Baron of tho Empire; with a pension of five thou sand dollars a year. Ho temporized a little during the Hundred Days, but resumed Ills seat in tho Council of State, which ho occu pied until his death, in 1842. Ho was too liberal for Charles tho Tenth, hut Louis Philippe highly esteemed him. IDs whole life was devoted to tho advancement of edu cation, and ho especially interested himsolf in tho instruction of deaf mutes. His works aro very numerous. Among them nono is moro highly esteemed in Franco than this on self education, whicli Mrs. I’eabodt Ims trans lated, and Mr. BunNiiAM has published. It was not written for tho world, but, having boen printed, was honored with tho highest public distinction which Franco could bestow. Mrs. Peabody erroneously calls him tho “ Baron Degerando,” forhis name was De Ge rardo, and thus only is lie to bo found in French biographical notices. It is understood that Mr. Tuompson West cOtt, editor of the Sunday Dispatch, lias been occupied for somotimo in writing a History of tlio City of Philadelphia. Wo know nobody so thoroughly qualified for such a greatly needed work. 110 has great local knowledge and strang local interest and feeling. Ho has boon Collecting materials for many years, and -Kail jim -atli lUv _to thmwJiM vast mius. nf in- into a readable form, so as to mako ■ an-agreeablo ns well as an instructive work. Our own ideal of a good book of this descrip tion is realized in << Tho History of the City of Now York, from its earliest settlement to tho Time,” Written by Miss Mahy L. , Booth, and published a few months ago by Clark & Meeker, of New York. We bellevo that no ngont for this work lias yet been appointed hero, but beliovo that Mr. John McFarlane, at tlio office of tho New American Cyclopedia, G2l Chestnut street, is authorized, ad interim, to receive subscribers’ names anil supply the book. It is illustrated with ono hundred engravings, contains between eight and nino hundred octavo pages, has a good index, and very handsomely printed and bound. There is also a copious Appendix, containing personal and antiquarian docu ments referred to in the text. Wo know nothing of Miss Booth, author of this history, except that sho lately inado a very good trans lation of Edmond About’s “Germaino,” whicli was published at Boston. Not ono line of profaco does sho give, nordoes she once alludo to herself. It is simply, what it professes to ho, a nistory of New York down to tho presont time, well v/itten, richly illus trated, and extremely entertaining. We do not soo this volume in any ot' our hook-stores, nor do wo know tlio price. Mr. MoFam,ane, JOHN fIAMPBKLL. no doubt, can supply that information. Vc commend it as a model of local history, con centrated, without becoming obscuro in tho endeavor to be brief. Ticknor & Fields will this day publish the Rev. George 11. llodson’s biography, («< Twelve Years of a Soldier’s Life in India,”) of his dashing, romantic brother, Major llod son, tho hero of Delhi and Commander of “ Itodson’s Horse.” The brilliant exploits oi this brave soldier, at tho siege of Delhi, filled English newspapers with paragraphs for months. Tho volume will include a personal narrative of the Siege of Delhi, and capture of the King and Princes. This book is re printed from the third and much-enlarged English edition. Major Tlodson, tho son ol an English clergyman, was born in 1821, edu cated at llugby, under Dr. ARNonn, graduated at Cambridge in 181 j, and immediately after got a cadetship, and embarked for India, where lie landed In September, 1845, and was speedily sent into tho thick of tho first Sikh War, himself spiking two guns at the Battle oi Sobraon. Tho war ended, ho became second lientcnant in tho line—at the age of twenty five, junior in rank to uneducated lad 3 of eighteen and nineteen. He was taken notico of however, for his intelligence and activity, am\, finally, sot to build tho famous Hill Asy lum for whito children at Sabathoo. Noxt he was a surveyor, then a Judge in tho Lahoro Conrt, as well as second in command of tho Guidos —afterwards in tho second Sikh War of 1840, when tho Punjaub was annexed; after which he married, having worked himself up to tho chief command of tho Guides, very hajpy until July 185-1, when his child died, af ter which, on a wrongful accusation of civil and military malversation, liOjWas suspended 3 pententc life, and finally cleared, going hack to Ins oldrcgiment, as subaltern.

In this book the wholo details aro given, chiefly in Hodson’s letters to his wife. At this slego Hodson seems to have been a military factotum — employed upon everything, and Buffering, amid all Ws variotios Current Literature. of work, under bronchitis and Inflammation of the cheßt. Just at this time, too, ho accepted the command of “ The Guides,” and looking for the Victoria Cross (for bravery on the field) ag the highest object of his ambition. At last Delhi fell, and Hodsox’s letter to his wife merely says, “ I was fortunate enough to cap- turo the King and his favorite wife. To-day, more fortunate still, I have seized and destroy ed the King’s two sons and a grandson (the famous, or rather infamous Aboh Bukt,) the villains who ordered the massacre of our women and children, and stood by and wit nessed the foul barbarity.” No wonder that Sir Colin Campbell, a gallant veteran, took warmly to this man, and prophesied his ad vancement. But tho end was near. In March 1858, at tho storming of the Begum’s palace at Lucknow, Hobson was shot through tho chest, and died the next day, mourned as a soldier like him deserved to bo. Sir Colin Campbell, announcing his death to the widow, wrote, «I followed your noble husband to the grave myself, in order to mark, it* tho most public manner, my regret and estoenvl&r tho most brilliant soldier under my command, and one whom I was proud tO call my friend.” Up to this hour, however, tho British Govern ment have not done anything to honor tho name of this most gallant man, the captor of tho King of Delhi and his aons. The biography, written by his brother, is mainly made up from Hodson’s own letters to his wife. Tho bio grapher says; “ Many, I believe, will agroe with me in think ing that those pages prove that the poetry and romanco of war are not yet extinct; that even the Enfield rifle has not reduced all men to a dead lovol, but that thero is still a place to be found for individual prowess, for tho lion heart and tho eaglo eye. and tho iron will.

Letter from Selinsgrove* Pa. DEDICATION OP TUB EVANGELICAL LUTUKRAX MIS SIONARY INSTITUTE —INTERESTING EXERCISES BEFORE THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA FEMALE COLLEOB. [For The Pross.} Selinsgrovb, Pa., Nor. 9, 1859. To-day and yesterday have bcon memorable days in the history of this growing ami beautiful town. The occasion was tho formal dedication of tho Lutheran Missionary Institute, founded by tho persevering and self-donying efforts of Rev. Ben jamin Kuril, 0. D., for many years the able and effioiont editor of the Lutheran Observer. Besides the Missionary Institute, tho same efforts have resulted in tho erection of a Female College/of whioh Rev. C. C. Baughman, 0. 0., formerly of Hagerstown, Md., is the Principal, assisted by a corp 3 of able and efficient teachers. Although in operation only a few weeks, the college is already well Buppliod with students, and bids fair to meet with eminent enoouragomeut. On Tuesday even ing, by appointment, Rev. E. W. Hutter, of Phila delphia, delivered an address before the Faculty and Pupils of tho College, in the English Lutheran Church, of which Rev. S. Domer is pastor. The theme was : “ 'The Importance of Female Educa tion — The, Helps and the Hindrances” The col lege edifice's one of tho fioest in tho State, both ns t 0 location and interior arrangements, com mandinK oneof the loveliest and most pioturesque prospects on tho Susquehanna. On Wednesday morning tho town was early alivo with fln interested populace, many of whom had corao from Hie neighboring towns and country, to witness the ceremony of consecration. The faculty and students mot at tho institute building, and marched in procession' to the Lutheran Churoh, where an addross was delivered by Rev. 0. Steok,of Lanonstor, on tho Origin, the Gmaina, the Prospects, and the Claims of tho Mission In stitute, which several topics wero most ably and satisfactorily discussed. After tho abovo address, or. Kurtz offered a sories of extemporaneous re marks, whioh wero full of interest to all who heard them. He referred to tho part which a kind Pro vidence had permitted him to take in several mea sures, tho most important that had marked the past history of tho Lutheran Church in this coun try. One of these was the formation of the Gene ral Synod, another the founding of tho Church in stitutions at Gettysburg, anothor the establishment of a denominational church of whioh had been crowned with signal success. To accomplish ono more remaining objoct was ade siro, whioh ho had cherished with eager and ab sorbing solicitude, and this was the founding of the Institute which was to bo solemnly set apart for the sacred purposes of its orection this day. This accomplished, and, liko Simeon, ho would say, “Now lettCßt thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have beheld thy salvation.” And this desire oi his heart was now gratified. In tho faco of much opposition, and of many dis couragements, the Missionary Institute had been crowned with adegree of success that far exceeded his most sanguine oxncotations, and was now no longor an cxporiinont, out a fixed fact. These exercises at tho church concluded, a pro cession was formed, under the load of two mar shals, as follows; 1. Band of Musio. 2. Superin tendent, faculty, and atudonta of Missionary Insti tute. 3. Speakers. 4- Clergymen. 5. Faculty and students of Female College. 0. Citizens and strangers. A largo proportion of those in the pro cession wero ladios, and tho wholo presented a most imposing appearance. Arrived at the insti tute grounds, the dedicatory service was per formed by Rov. Benjamin Kurtz, 0. 0., from the steps of tho Institute, the audience occupying tho front area, and (os many as it could accommodate) tho first floor. This concluded, a fervent pray or was offored by Rev, P. Rizer. The collegiate de partment of the Missionary Institute is in ebargo of Rev. Poterßoin, formerly of Sunhury, assisted by Professors Weaver and Noetling, and the thcokjs gioal department is presided over by Rov. Jacob Ziegler. Besides those, tho pastor loci } Rev. 8. Domer, delivers lootures on Moral Scionco. Al though tho oornor-stone of tho Missionary Insti tute was laid only one year ago, it nlroady contains a groator number of thoological students than any other Luthoran Institution in tho country, with the single excoptlon of tho ono at’Fort Wayne, (led.) Tho edifice itself la an ornament to the town, and rofleots great credit on the enterprise and liberality of the citizens of Soliosgrovo. It is a beautiful building, three stories nigh, with basement, loft, and observatory, of tho villa style of architecture, 43 feet by 8(1, and tho surrounding ecenoiy is un surpftssod. In a very short time, both the Insti tute and the Female Colloge will bo supplied with every needful modern improvement, and be com plete in ovory particular. < Irrespective of these sohools of learning, Selins frove is rapidly advancing in trade and commerce, ts situation is truly beautiful, on tho banks of the Kusquohanpa, about fifty miles from Harrisburg.

It is to be hoped that the good people of 1 Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York, in choos i ir.g a place for a summer resort, will hereafter take gelinsgrove into tho* account, for certain It is that a more desirable retreat for themselves and faini * lies they could pot toleot, . . TWO CENTS. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Dr. Mnlcom’s Circular Letter. The Christian Chronicle of this week publishes the Circular Letter prepared by Rev. Howard Mal colm, 0. D., for, and presented at, the late meet ing of the Philadelphia Baptist Association, held In this city. Tha subject of the letter, which 00- cnpies nearly three and a half columns, la“ Event* an Individual and Universal Duty™ In the treatment of it, the Doctor has said many excellent things, Vhioh' could be adopted with pro fit by Christians of every name. He argues, with great plausibility, that under the influence of sur- ’ rounding 1 customs, those set apart for pastoral, teaching, or 'evangelising duties, are too much severed from secular pursuits; that Christians have not been suifioie&Uy willing, of Ut*, that their ministers should be fishermen,, or be loved physicians. Tho wisdom of this course—of leaving the evangelization of the world to minis ter* alone—ia compared to that which in war would leave all the fighting to the officers. “Ye mar all prophecy, that all may learn,” was the language or Paul, and unless the efforts of laymen, possessing the requisite ability, were put forth, the work of the regular ministry could, at best, be but a compa rative failtue. For this reason, it is assumed that the most successful pastors are those who hare most discernment and toot, in setting their mem bers to work. In corroboration of these views, the recent great here, as well as those in England, Ire land, and Wales, are cited, and for the latter Eng lish authorities are given to prove that so far as human instrumentality has been concerned, these revivals are mainly the result of lay agency. The London Deacon is quoted as follows: (( Itisa noteworthy fact that the awakening 1a the result of the simplo setting forth of Christ by laymen; and is entirely independent of any church organization whatever.” It is also stated, in this connection, that in Staffordshire, England, a common laborer in tho coalmines has been the instrument of an ex tensive awakening by holding meetings in the pita; fire hundred persons having been converted in a single locality. , In summing up this argument to his brethren, in behalf of “Individual Evangelism,”* Dr. Malcom very felicitously, and perhaps with, more signifi cance than might at first appear, quotes thiSpiasage from Pf«4 r «s®pt#Ue;to the Hebrews: “ When for the time' ’yet^rnghi ‘to hh• 'teacheis, ye have need thatonefol<4r-7maagabL” The letter is admirably .written,' and in Usgeneral tone doubtless embodies the eenUmanta of a.Jarge proportion of his breth ren iff the,mii£stry,* what the Doctor means, how* ever, bfyfhsfevel of ordinary lovt in .the following passage,b*tof particularly.clear; “ There will he times whan-' the best Christians enjoy more than at others; bqt though they sometimes rise above tho level of ordinary love and joy,"they never rink below it; and that level should rise as long as they live.” It is easy enough to imagine no depressions where there are no elevations, but hoW'to dater miuo & level where the latter are allowable, i#more difficult; nor is it less difficult to reconotio a Uvtl with an inclined plane, or a level that should gradually rise through lift as the above quotation intimates. The “level of ordinary love ”is not as lucid wfigure as might be desired under the cir cumstances, whether applied to that which wanna the Christian's heart alone, or to that “the course” of which, Shakspeare declares, “ never did 1 run smooth .” U|>on the whole, hqwever, there Is a broad liberal spirit evinced in this letter which does its distinguished author great credit, and will have a good effeot. Tan Yotrxp Mew’s Christian Association at Gervaxtowx.—We are happy to know that this young but prosperous organisation has completed arrangements for a course of lectures, to be deli vered at the Town Hall, at Germantown, which will probably enable them to consummate at least some of their cherished and praiseworthy objects in behalf of the young men of that community. The Initial lecture of the course will be delivered on Monday evening next, by Morton McMicfcael, Eaq. Mr. MoMlohael will be followed, on the Mon (lay evenings succeeding, to December 19, incln eivc, by Rev. A. A. Willlts, Dr. R. Bhelton Mack emio, Chaa. S. Pnneoaat, Eaq., lVm. H. Allen, Eeq., »nd Roy. J. Wheaton Smith. The facilities now afforded for going to Germantown to attend a lecture, and retn rniog at an early hour the earns evening, are so complete that we donbt not many of our oitiiens will avail themselves of this oppor tunity of hearing the gentlemen named—several of of whom are widely and favorably known to the literary and worhl—for this popular Oburse. We oai^yp^iimn^jsg"Ant th*Asso ciation has la arranging its programme/ Lav Catholic Associations.—From this week’s foreign correspondence of the Boston Ft lot we loam that there has recently been held a great meeting of delegates from all the lay Catholic as sociations of Germany. Tho writer also makes the following suggestion: »• How would it do to hare at New York, say, a similar gathering of delega tions of the various Catholic associations through out the United States ? I think It would be an im posing aud magnificent spectaole. There is a pro per sphere for laymen in the Church, and a work for them to do. It la not to govern, or teach, er lead; but there is a wide range of labor and charity and devotion by which laymen o&n aid their pastors, and relieve them of much labor, care, and responsibility. In a true order every ono has his place and work in perfect subordina tion.” Anniversary op tub Young Men’s Christian Association.— The fifth anniversary of this asso ciation will be held on Thursday evening of the coming week, at Jayne’s Hall—prior to its conver sion into a mercantile mart. From the arrange ments making, the occasion will no doubt bo one of interest. It could hardly be otherwise. Some fifteen different religious denominations are repre sented in it, in all of which there are a large num ber of persons who feel a deep interest in the ob jects whioh this association has professedly at heart. From what we learn, it is probable that the Secre tary’s report, this season, will be an interesting document, as the facts embraced in the doings of tho,past year are at onca more numerous and satisfactory than of any former year. Pulpit Nonsense.— Rev. Henry Ward Boechor lately delivered a locturo in his own church, and was introduced by Mr. Tilton, oi the Independent , who said: “The lecturer insists upon being introduced. This, I suppose, is from natural modesty. Yet, perhaps, I ought to say a word explanatory, in or der that ho may not come before you as a perfect stranger! I would therefore state that he is from Litchfield, Connecticut, and is a minister’s son.” Amidst tho laughter of the audience Mr. Beecher retorted by saying that “Mr. Tilton himself would lecture in Brooklyn next week, and that he would like to be present to introduce him.” Congregational SixqiNo.—TheEpiscopal House of Bisbeps, in thoir la to session, recommended to their churches the cultivation of congregational Binging. They say that the objeot of church musio is not tho gratification of a cultivated musical taste, but, by tho aid of simplo and appropriate music, to awaken a devotional feeling in the congregation; that the introduction of voluntaries on tho organ botween the.vorscs of tho hymns and prayers should bo avoided, as unnecessary and wearying to the congregation. The Tadlks Turning, —lt is stated that a majority of tho present Freshman class in Har vard College aro from Trinitarian families, and of evangelical tendencies. Tho opinion Is also expressed that, within a few years, there has been a marked change toward evangelical belief among the students, the prevailing tendency having for merly been towards Unitari&nism.

His lordship’s health is greatly improvod by nis native Air, but having spent so many years in the warm olimate of Georgia, ho feels his native one very cold and moist. Moravian Veteran Gone.— At Easton, Pa., last week, the Right Rev. Andrew Benade, the oldest bishop of the Moravian church in Ame rica, and nenrly ninety years of age, died. He was much respected for his intelligence and good qualities. Geneva now contains 29,000 Catholics, out of 43,000 inhabitants, two Catholio churches, eight Brothers of the Christian schools, and sixteen Sis ters of Charity.— Letter from Geneva m the Amt de la Religion.

Bacon gone to Rome.— Tho Rev. Br. Bacon, Catholio bishop of tho Maine Diocese, left Port land, a few days since, for New York, on his way to Romo. Trinity CnuncH, New York.—Rov. Morgan Dix has been re-elected assistant rector of Tritrity Church, Ifew York, at a salary of $4,000. Baptists in Oregon.— There are now thirty Baptist ministers in Oregon, and the Baptist Church is gotting an important hold there. ■" The Todd Grenadiers, of ‘Williamsburg, New York, paraded last Thursday. The company is composed of seventy men, notone of them less than six feot in height; The pioneers ranged above six feet three, and the captain was six feet six in height. The standard-bearer was six feet seven and a half inches high, aud tbo target-bearer, a portly colored man, rising six feot three inches. As might be supposed, this extraordinary gather ing of great fellows created no little commotion in the crowded streets through whioh they passed. Great place, that Williamsburg!

To ‘lo Editor of “ fke PmsA „ S ‘* : B7 , th *, ! “ t “* il Santa Fe, New' Mexico, onder date of tho 17th nK., I hive ta» 1 intelligence in relation to the late depredation* of the Indians along the route of the Santa F*and 1 Independence joaH. that you mayregtra as' fia-' ‘ portent. ; .. i‘ : A passenger by has just arrived : - ei St Louis, writes to the postmaster atßbffta Fw from Fort Union, that on the morning of the Stjr -* nit., soon after crossing ihff Arkansas 'river,thr < bodies of two fhd tcpnutff—'that ~ • had been murdered and scalped, were discovered by tho mail party. By Indications Iff the vicinity, which, with men accustomed, to the plains, are 1 * almost infallible, it was supposed (hat the 1 pasty to whloh these unfortunates belonged numbered '* at least six, and It was presumed that the' rest had ~" met with a similar fate. The titshnta o t ttw - Indian “ sign,” however, prevented muehseareh/ as the mail party was too small to encounter, with sny prospect of safely, the band of savage* that ft was thought was in the neighborhood. In consequence of the discovery of j this addi tional proof of the hostility of the Camancbes, the mail party returned to Fort Union for the pm* pose of obtaining an escort, which upon the requi sition of Mr. Whiting, the energetto postmaster of Santa Fe, was furnished by Col. Bonneville. It is now presumed that the TmiUnt b* more troublesome than ever, and that (he impunity with which they are permitted to commit depreda tions will render their forays upon the white* more frequent and more severe in their consequences than they hare ever been. - - * The unprotected nature of the road from Inde pendence to Santa Fe gives the Camaeehe Kioway tribes every facility for these outrage*. From the frontier villages, on the east, to Fori Union, in New Mexico, the ni>n m«n parties almost equally small bodies of emigrants hare to traverse a country which is utterly unprovided - with military post* or settlements of any kind; and the barren character of this section of the great' plains, the absence of wood and permanent water,' render the establishment of such safeguards to the traveller toward Hew Mexico or California, upon this route, almost impracticable. Without forts or the entire extermination of the Indian*, these out rages upon the whites must be of frequent occur tence. The treaties that are made from time to time with the savages rarely serve as a cheek to them for any length of time. The habits of life of the Camanoho and Kioway tribes unfit them for the semi-civilized condition of the Tndf.t-f in the territory to the east and sooth of theirrange. They know nothing of any of the peaceful arts. Thu chase of the buffalo, the war-path, and desultory wandering about the waters, which they eaQ their own, comprise the ends and aims of their* exist ence. A distinguished officer of the army, whose en ergy and skill have won for btm a proud name, has been heard to declare that a war of extermination is the qnly policy to he adopted with regard to these Bedoains of America; and, Is fact, the con stant repetition of these murders upon the plains, despite the partial retribution whleh has sometimes fallen upon the perpetrators of them, would indi cate that his view of the matter was correct To attain the end of such a war, however, would require a greater expenditure of time, men, and money, than would be readily granted. Somo other plan must he devised just now for .the pre servation of life and property, and U is with a view to pointing out such a plan that I trouble you with this communication. < - While the old Santa Fe trail offers no facDitiee whatever for the estahlishmentof military posts for its protection, New Mexico may be connected with the States by a route, along which there would be no trouble whatever in selecting any number of most admirable sites, not only for forts, but for ex* tensive settlements. From the town of Neosho, in Southwestern Mis souri, a road may be laid out, intersecting the Paeifio wagon road of Lieut Beal e (leading from Fort Smith along the Canadian to Albuquerque, N M.,) in the neighborhood of the Antelope hills, a few miles east of the Texas boundary, that would satisfy all the conditions of a first-class emigrant and stag* road. The surface of the country offer? every advantage for easy and rapid travel, while tha abandonee of water along the entire route, the luxuriance of the grots, and the plentiful supply of wood, leave no thing, when comparing this line with others across the Plains, to he desired. The distance from gents Fe to Neosho would not exceed, on a well care fully-located road, 725 mQcsl Almost the whole of the country traversed would be fit for settlement and cultivation. The valley of the Canadian rivercon tainsland that would compare favorably with any in theStatesUrichnessandfertilify. The timber along it is sufficient for all practical purposes, and the sup ply of water abundant and unfktiisg. Many of the little ravines which lead from fh* Üble land to (he valley contain fine mineral some of them sufficiently impregnated with sulphur to be ; do doubt, highly esteemed, when known. The climate along this route is another important consideration in favor of its adoption. Snow rarely falls, and never to any great depth. The winters are mQd enough ton How trains to traverse section without trouble from snow, or danger to the animals from excessive cold. He expedition under Lieutenant Beale made the passage last winter and, although the weather was more severe than it commonly is, no animals perished, nor did the men suffer. By following the valley of the Canadian to the mouth of the Conchas, a small creek emptying into it from the west, the traveller will never find it ne cessary, throughont the entire route, to drive more than six or eight miles without finding abundant water; and a considerable detour, occasioned by the crossing of a portion of the Llano Estalado, will be avoided, besides securing a more level and easy road. The establishment of posts at the crossing of the Arkansas, in the vicinity of the Antelope hills, and upon the upper Canadian, would give the road ample protection, no doubt, and sufficiently awe the In diana to induce them to find their hunting grounds further to the south and west. In a short time Neosho will be the terminus of a railway. Thus the only additional advantage re quired to render this route complete is provided for it. ■ - It mayjiot be improper to mention, as an indi cation of die ease of travel along this line, that the distance between Hatch’s Ranch and Neosho, fol lowing the route of Lieut. Beale to the mouth of the North fork of the Canadian, and then travel* ling nearly due north to Neosho, amounting to Ssfi miles, has been performed by a team of mnlea in twenty-two days, Including stops and detentions, , and that the animals came In from their long jour ney in nearly as good condition as that in which thoy started. I am, sir, Yours very respectfully, C. Philadelphia, Nov. 10,1859. The New York city election will be held in Deoember next, when a mayor, eight aldermen, twenty-four councilmen, ward constables, and $ school officers, are to be elected. The New York Sim says: “The struggle promise* to be an ex oiting one. Mr. Fernando "Wood has avowed his determination to be a candidate, and the Tam many-Hall leaders are looking for a candidate who oan defeat Fernando. It is understood that the Republicans, hoping to profit by the strife between Fernando and Tammany, decline to enter into any such combination as that which secured Mr, Tie maon’s election two years ago. There will, there fore, according to present appearances, be three candidates in tho field. It is tree that there are rumors of a {probable compromise between Mr. Wood and some of the leading spirits of the Tammany organization. During the late State caucus Mr- Wood was very active in winking himself friends by withdrawing his Mozart nomi nations in favor of the Tammany candidate*; and he has not concealed his strong desire to have the Tammany endorsement. His Mozart Hall organi zation has no life or strength apart from himself, and he keeps it In existence merely to serve his •wn personal ambitions. Let Tammasj again en dorse him, and he will disband his Mozarf com pany and renew his allegiance to the old Wigwam. But we doubt if the Tammany men are prepared to conclude a bargain with the dictator of Mozart Hall. Many of them think that by making a good nomination they can easily defeat him, and his defeat at the December election wcnld destroy forever his politioal power in this city. But the difficulty is to get a man of the right kind to ac copt a nomination. Mr. James T. Bredy.haa been talked of, and, within a few days, strong hopes havo been expressed that he can be induced to be come a candidate. Mr. Havemeyer is also spoken of, but his acceptance of a nomination is very doubtful.” . The Rochester Hatty Express says that ever since the denouement of the mad and fool-hsrdy attempt of old Brown at Harper’s Ferry, there have been rumors that Gerrit Smith was in a most distressing and pitiable state of mind. ‘ It Is said that he has been constantly wringing his hands and bemoaning the fate of poor Brown, and ac cusing himself .with having been instrumental in bringing his friends into their prerent sore trou bles. While making a brief visit to the neighbor hood of Mr. Smith’s residence, a few-days since, we learned that his friends were apprehensive that his reason would give way under the ToaS 6i grief and anxiety the events of Harper’s and neighborhood have occasioned,' and we were not, therefore, surprised to learn this morning that these fears have been realised, and that the un happy mao'is'new avavtng hmatxq.
