JOHN N. STOKES, Agent.
C& Wo with uo small degree of pleas
'nre learn that our fellow citizen, the Hon
James II. Walton, has been appointed
Trca-urcr of the Mint at Philadelphia.
This is paying a deserved compliment to
the Tenth Legion in acknowledging its
efficient services for the slave propagating
Democracy.
Mr. Walton is a gentleman of fair a
bility, courteous manners, a good citizen,
and an unscrupulous Democrat, but we
boTievc, will prove to be a trust worthy
and efficient officer.
- He undoubtedly, has richly merited
,
this favor; for few have been more faith
fully lampooning us "Black Republicans"
for the last two year.", prwing how much
we "loved the Nigger;"' ''hated the South"
"desired a dissolution of the Union," "and
hankered after tho public plunder," &c,
And since Me-srs. Douglas,Forney & Co.
failed to swallow the Lecompton English
drug, prescribed by the great Democratic
quack doctor, Buchanan, they, in coiu
iron with us, have not failed to bring
down on their devoted heads his scathing
denunciations. We must, therefore, con
gratulate Mr. Buchanan in tho selection
of so faithful a friend and disciple as Mr.
Walton has unquestionably proved bim
6 elf to be.
We, however, on the assumption of his
official duties, part with him rather with
Tegret from our daily social intercour.se,
and offer our best wishes for his prosper
ity and happiness.
The Fourth of July is now near
at hand, and so far as we have learned
no preparation, as yet, has been made to
properly celebrate that great day, with the
exception of the Sabbath Sehoo', which,
as usual, will have a celebration. They
will bold theirs on Monday the 5th.
We should like to sec an old fashioned
celebration ; and why shall we not have
it I It can cailv be put in motion if
some few euterpri.-iur individuals will
take it in hand. Tho Ilotel keepers are
deeply interested in this matter, and why
should they not take hold of it. Let us
Lave the National Celebration on Satur
day the 3d of July.
Naw Sabbath School Music.
Mr. Horace Waters, the well-known
Mu-ic publisher and Piauo dealer, of 'SXi
Broadway. New York, has recently isucd
& very pleasing and useful little collection
of 82 pages of hymns and tunes for Sab
bath schools, of more animated character
and impressive style than usual. The
words are all excellent, and tho music,
though spirited, varied and fitted to the
tastes and life of the young, is very sim
ple, easily mastered, and full of feeling
and pathos. There are Happy greet
ing to all;" "Kind words can never die;'"
Tin nnn " Tlin . n V '1
'Let us be bappy, and let us be gay;"
"0, that beautiful world;" "I have a
Father io the promised land," &c., &.c
a" fid many others equally attractive, use
ful and pleasant. All for three cent, or
two dollars per hundred copies. Postage
one cent. We think it will be a favorite
in the Bohool, and at tho fireside of all
who love cheerful music, or the animated
faces of bappy children.
New Counterfeits.
On Thursday night, a number of new
counterfeit five dollar bills on the State
Bank of New Jersey made their appear
ance in this city. The notes are well exe
cuted and calculated to deceive those not
well posted. The note, it is stated, is
printed on the plate used by the Morgan
Bank of Georgia. The word "five," in
the counterfeit, is printed in red iuk.

The Morris County Bank has resumed
paymct again, and bills of all denomina
tionss will be redeemed at the Importers'
and Traders' Bank, N. Y.
Legislative Corruption.
In a debate in the Senate, Mr. Toombs
said:
We speak of the corruptions of Mex
ico, of Spain, of France, and other Gov
ernaents, with a great deal of truth, ao
cording to all accounts; but from my ex
perience and observation, which have been
somewhat extentive, I do not believe to
day there is as corrupt a Government un
der the heavens as these United States.
Mr. Hale. Nor I either.
Several Senators. I agree to that.
Mr. Toombs. And most of all its cor
ation is in tho legislative department."

A New Bird and Game Law.
It is not generally known that a new

and insectivorous birds was enactea at.

From tho mails of Friday lat, we
learn that a terrible state oi excitement
exists at New Orleans in consequence of
the formation of a iilance Committee
similar to the noted organization of that
kind in San Francisco, California. The
Committee U strong in numbers and is
composed of the most respectable citizens
who are banded together for the purpose
of correcting the social disorder of the ci
ty, which it appears, has been altogether
overlooked by the officers of the law.-
Tho Philadelphia Press, in speaking of
this popular outbreak, uses the following
language:
"In the open and flagrant commission
of crimes of the most atrccious character,
which at the hands of the courts have
been permitted to go unwhipt of juiticc,
may be fouud the true secret to the pres
ent popular outbreak which has provoked
a collision with the civic authorities, and
wuicn appears iiKeiy to result, it not
checked, in a serious catastrophe. With
out a full cognizanco of the facts of the
whole case, it is impos-ible, at this dis
tance, to form a just estimate of the mer
its of the controversy, involved. We can
only express a hope, in which all Ameri
can citizens must unite, that cooler coun
sels may prevail, and that civil strife may
be arrested at all hazzards. This can
only be effected by the exercise of great
moderation on both sides, and by the
actual return upon the part of the civic
functionaries to a strict and impartial ex
ecution of tho laws. Let good laws be
properly enforced, and there need never
arise a necessity in this country for the
creation of any extrajudicial tribunals."
The Committee have taken possession
of the arsenals and public prisons, and
conflict was expected between them and
the civil authorities. The military were
called out and the Mayor had read the
riot act.

The Marias Des Cygnei Massacre.
Special Correspondence of the Tribune.
OSAWATOMIE, K.X, May 26, 1858.
Accounts have reach your readers ere
this nf the recent atrocious massacre on
tho Osage, or Mere do Cygne Hiver.
So frightfully horrible were the first de
tails of the evcut that I hesitated iu giv
ing credence to the report. A nearer
approach to the seene has proved the aw
ful and fatal tragedy but too true. It
has ceitaiuly been one of the most hide
ous aud coldblooded atrooities of the age.
The Sepoy horrors of ludia arc no great
er stain upou humanity.
It is but a week ago to-day since a
party of Border Buffiaus numbering
twenty-three, crossed the Missouri border
in Lynn County, near the Marias des
Cygnos. They were mounted aud well
armed, and went to the trading post, for
merly a sort of Pro-Slavery headquarters.
The visit was of a domiciliary character.
Like the Denton aud Hendricks murder,
it was the evident purpose of tho?e men
to commit further outrages that should
appall the Free-State settlers. Their op
erations were not couducted against any
persou who had rendered himself obnox
ious to them. The victims were squatters,
of tho most peaceable class men who
had never been heard of previously in the
mixed strife of politics aud war; who were
evidently picked up at random, aud who
were the victims ol their owu defenseless
condition.
The invading party was not composed
exclusively of Missouruns. I learn pos
itively that one half of tho number were
of the lort Scott baud. It was comman-
ded by Dr. George P. Hamilton former-
ly of Georgia. It will be remembered
that under the similated name of Capt.
Jeunigen he figured among Buford's bra-
vos in tne wars oi oi. lie was a mem-
bcr of the Jjccompton Constitutional
Convention from Bourbon county, or
Fort Scott. Brocket wa alo with
him. Hill, another prominent Kuffiau
of Fort Scott, was of the party. Then
there was another Mr. Hamilton and his
son, also. Buford men, who have lived
uear the trading po-t ou the Marias des
Cygnes. Five oth'-rs of the party were
thedisbanded soldiers of Capt Anderson's
company (I) of dragoon-", who were drum-
ined out ot their company some time, ago
at the in-tancc of their comrades, for par-
ticipating in the Denton aud Hendricks
murders and for stealing from the settlers,
These ten were thus lluffians. belonging
to tho Territory to some extent. The re
maming thlileeu of them were lluffian-
from Missouri, a few of whom have been
recognized.
They slipped over the border quietly,
no one gue-'.siug or anticipating their ap
proach. They never att niptcd to seek
for Capt. Montgomery, or Capt. Bain, or
their friends. Neither did they appear
to be actuated by any personal malice.
They arrested any free State man just as
they found him. borne were taken in the
Gelds at their work; others while travel
ing on the road with their teams, and oth-
ers were taken from their homes. 1 hey
were told that the party which arrested
wished to "talk" with them, andho quiet-
ly did I hey act, until they got their vie-
tims in their power, that the men thus ta-
keu never suspected at first that they
were taken for cold-blooded purposes.
One of the prisoners, Mr. Slilwell of Su
car Mound, was on the road to a Missou-
n town to buy provisions. Another was
a Baptist preacher past middle life.
1 he latter was wouuded the former kill-
ed.
lucre was no trial, or attempt at trial,
no charge was preferred against them.
Tho parties were chiefly strangers to each
other. The poor men unarmed were led
into a ravine. They were drawu up in
line, and for the first time perceived the
frightful naturo of their situution, dark
suspicious of which had been already
suggesting themselves. J he murderers
ranged themselves immediately iu front
of their victims, aud with fatal prompti-
tudc and coolness, at the command of
their leader deliberately shot them. At
the first fire all of the eleven prisoners
fell. The murderers, to make sure work,
loaded and fired several times. Some of
them used their revolvers. One of the
survivors, who were severely wounded,
and who was lying on the ground, had a
pistol ball put in his head. He says that
one or the party stooped down over him,
and put a pistol to his ear and fired.

Others were shot at thus on the ground,

been perfectly horrible these twenty-
three a-saisins loading aud firing at the

were yet able to converse for some time.
Assistance was obtained, and the wound
ed were oonvcyed to a house near the
trading post. The alarm was sounded
and Cant, Montgomery and Mr. McDan-
iels. Brigadier General of the Territorial
Militia, were soon on tho spot. It is be
lieved that the Ruffians have separated
and are skulkin about. They told in
Missouri that they had a fight with Capt.
Montgomery, and had defeated him, kill
ing eleven men. It is quite likely that
the Bordcr lluffian journals may give
credence to such a story.
Inspired with the horror which such a
deed would naturally excite, the citizens
of the vicinity were aroused to the great
est indignatiou. Gen. McDaniels called
out the Territorial militia in the vicinity.
It was known that tho Border lluffians
had stopped at tho town of West Point,
iu Missouri, and had there completed
their organization before coming over.
A day or two ago, Capt. Montgomery,
with Gen. McDaniels, and a force of 150
meu, went to West Point to demand that
the murderers be surrendered up. The
design in makiug this demaud was to se
cure them before they escaped. It was
believed that some citizens of that place
were implicated, and as it was knowu to
be perfect folly to wait for a requisition
from Denver to the Governor of Missou
ri, or to expect anything whatever from
such a source it was deemed better to
take more prompt measures, if more ir-
regular. The expedition did not succeed
in accomplishing anything, however.
Tho fact is the murderers had fled. Dr
Hamilton was last sceu on a horse riding
through Missouri toward the river. Jh
whereabouts of the others is not known

purpose. Meanwhile, they have sent
some messengers to Lawrence for arm
and advice, who will arrive to-day or to

Judge Williams has made a request for

have left Fort Scott; there is only a hand

The returns of the election or the adop
tion or rejection of the Leavenworth Con
stitution are not all in yet. The vote ap

thus far received indicate that a majority
have oast their suffrages for that instru
ment.
The indications now nre that the peo
ple of Kaunas will have an opportunity
for a fair vote on tbo Lccomptou swindle.
It will be remembered that the English
bill provides that the Government Secre
tary attorney-General of Kansas, togeth
er with tho presiding officers of the two
branches of the Territorial Legislature,
shall be a Board of Commissioners, to fix
the time for holding the clectiou, decide
where polls shall be opened, appoint in
spectors of election, &c. an arrange
ment which was designed to give the Cin
cinnati Directory Democracy complete
control of the whole maehiuery of the
election by means of a cotitroling voice
in the Board of Commissioners. This
would givo the oligarchs an opportunity
to couni in Lecompton in case, through
fraud and violence at the poll-, they
should fail to deposit tho required uum
ber of ballots. This little arrangemen
seems to have been seriously disturbed
according to a recent letter to The Chica
go Tribune, by the unexpected action of
the Commissioners. It seems that the
President recently determined to remove
Mr. Weir, the Attorney-General, in con
sequenco of the supposed Douglas lean
ings ol that gentleman, and apppoint id
his stead a thorough serviter of Slavery
This fact coming to the knowledge of Mr
Weir before his head was brought to the
block, he concluded that for the remain
der of his brief term he could well afford
to do the handsome thing for the people
of Kansas. So he uuited with Messrs
Babeoek and Deitzler the three formiu''
a majority of the Board in fixiug the e
lection for the second dry of August, and
in authorizeng Mr. Deitzler to prepare a
schedule containing the names of the judg
es of election (whom he is to appoint), the
places of voting, etc., and to issue thesame
in a proclamation to the p ople forthwtili
1 he fact that Gov. Denver had received
instructions from Washing not to call the
Hoard together till after Weir's successor
should arrive in the Teriitory and quali
fy, leaked out; but his opponent were the
majority, and he reluctantly united with
them in ordering the election. So, unices
some new dodge can be invented, or this
action be repealed and reversed, after the
arrival of the new Attorney General,
there would seem to be a fair prospect
that for once the people of Kausas will
enjoy a lair election.
Trial of Mary Twiggs.
mary Iwiggs was arraigned for tria
?or
the murder of Catharine Clark, on
Monday the 24th ult., at Danville Mon
tour county. The trial occupied th
greater part of the week, and was brought
to a close on l1 rid ay morning by the jur
returning a verdict of guilty. We have
hot space to devote to the details, but
give below the sentence of the Court.
1 be Liourt House was crowded t it
utmo-t capacity, when Judge Jordou de
livered the opinion of the Court, adverse
to the motiou for a new trial, and Mary
Twiggs was requested to rise. The Judge
in a voice indicating tbo deep emotions
awakened by the painful duty before him
enquired if she had aught to say why the
sentence of death should not be pronoun
ced upou her. She arose looking the very
picture of sorrow but uttered not a word
Then amid the most profound silence, the
Judge pronounced the following sentence
Mary Iwiggs: A jury of your coun
try have found you guilty of the murder
ot Catharine Ann Clark, and it now be
comes my duty to pronounce upon you
the sentence of death. I refrain from

tunny to establish your muocence, if you
could. We gave you the benefit of al
the legal positions taken by your faithful
and able counsel; the jury have after ma
ny hours of calm and serious deliberation,
declared their belief in your guilt. If
you have been unjustly condemned, it has
not been because, those who'C duty it
was to pass upon your guilt or inuocence
desired your condemnation. The weight
of evidence they believed was against you
and demanded from them a verdict of niil-

commend and entreat of you, to spend the
brief period there probably i, between
you ano eternity, in prcparum to meet
your final Ju,dge. To him your guilt or

The sentence of tho court is, that you,
Mary Twiggs, be taken hence to the place
from whence you came, within the iail of
the county of Montour, and from thence
to the place of execution, within the walls
or yard of tho said juii, and that you
there be hanged by the neck until you
are dead, and may God have mercy on
your soul.

lloUoicny's Ointment and Pills. Those
who have been taught to believe that
there is uo remedy for canrer but the
knife, are invited to rtad the following
statement. lloubm Withers, late of
Brooklyn, and now ru-iding at Marysvillu
California, was for several months treated
secundum artcm. bv two Dhv-icians. for
j r ,
what they pronounced to be a cancerous
tumor on the left breast. Finally they
recommendd excision, but the patient hav
ing heard much of the cfneacy of Hollo-
way s Uintmcnt, iu such cases, resolved
to try its eff.cts before submitting his
Genii to the steel. He used it in ennfor-
mity with the direction, for two months
at the end of which twne the lump had
entirely disappeared, and up to "the dato
of his leaving for Sm Francisco, in Au:'-
ust ,ast, an interval of fourteen weeks, no
symptoms of its re-appearance could bo
discovered. Tho Pills areequaily effica
cious in all internal diseases.
A Card from Smuel Swan & Co.
To the Public The extraordinary
course pursued by rival managers of dif
iereut Lotteries to injure us because our
liberal shemes, and prompt mannor of do
ing business has materially affected them.
compels us to call special attantion to
tho facts, which all who deal with us
know already; that is, that our Lotteries
arc legal; tho managers and trustees honi
est and honorable men; that we have fold
more prizes in the last twelve month than
all other Lotteries in the Union, and that
tney nave been promptly cashed in all ca-
les on presentation.
fho effort to injure us is aimed not 6n-
y at our business by our rivals, but i.4
also intendod to act politically on one of
our partners; and wo assure our friends
and the public that WITU OUIt CONCERN
ALL is right, and this, the legal investi
gation whioh we shall urge to a hoaring,
win tuny demonstrate. In the meantime
our business will be oonductcd as usual.
