l'YIInwps thereupon retai ned to J I onir-Konjr,
nnd invited the co-operation of the Cniled
States' steamer Powhatan, now in this har
bor under repnir, wl.cn it was determined that

officers and men of the American steam frijr
life should form the expedition. Cmitaiu Cald

i:i the ISattVr, and the blue, jackets in the

before midnight, the Kapha nnehorinn n cou

-At five next morninir tho lnnnchns wpro
set alongside of the Uattler beside the enp
tiuns pig, made fast astern or tho Knplet,
which, every thing being rendv, steamed slow
ly up the bay. At Kulan onlv ono junk was
to be seen, nnd it was reared 'the birds had
flown ; but Cnpt. Caldwell descried a lorcha
at anchor nt the head of the bar, and steered
in that direction. The lorclia got under
weigh, apparently with the intention of escap
ing, when Cnpt. Fellows dispatched tho Hal
tlcr's pinnace and Powhatan's cutter to inter
cept her, nml these had unfortunately got be
yond recall before the pirato Ceot, with their
prizes numbering in all some thirtv
were observed nt anchor tho narrow and shal
low passage from which the lorcha had star
ted. As the steamer approached tho junks
hoisted their sails, but without getting under
weigh until several congreve rockets, disclmr-
guu irom me j-.agsets quurter-deck by Mr.
i 1110. xne gunner, and two marine nrtillorv-
inen irom tlio Kuttler, and two or three well
directed shot from a thirty-two pounder, fired
by Mr. ltandull, her chier oflleer, started
them from their fancied security, for up to
that time the pirates had either not observed
tho boats, or thought they would not hava
tho temerity to attack-tlmm in i
ever, they soon discovered their mistake, for
niu uuiua, wiucn nan nt lirst mndo Tor n nar
row neck of land, bore up for nnd rounded
the point ; mid then from tho deck of the
Btcamer was witnessed as bold nil nttack as
was ever made in these waters. The pirato
fleet formed a dense mass, the larger and hea
vier nrmed junks bringing up the rear, every
now and then yawning round nnd tiring their
broadsides at the boats, from which, in reply,
tiny puffs of sumke arose ns the howitzers in
their bows discharged their more deadlv con
tentsthe shrapnel bursting over the junks,
and making frightful havocamong their crews.
I he boats soon nenred the pirates ; Lieuten
ants Pegram and Uolando, with the launches
of tho Powhatn, first, by volleys of musket
ry, clearing ";o decks of tho two largest, then
boarding and driving the pirates overboard
nt tho point or the bayonet. This, however,
was not dono without a hard struggle, for the
miscreants fought with tho fury of despair ;
but they had of course, no chance with the
marines and blue-jackets. Meanwhile tho
other boats wero very far from neglecting
their advantages, nnd though small in compa
rison with the launches, performed their share
O. tho work wiU 'ho utmost gallantry, officers
and men vieing with each other for tho post
or danger and or honor, so that five or six
more junks wero soon- secured. Mr. Jones,
the boatswain or the Kattler, particularly dis
tinguished himsulf, having; with five seamen
nnd a few marines, in a whale-boat, dignified
with the title of second cutter, boarded, and
carried a junk that seemed fully a match for
cither or the launches. Lieutenant Pegram,
in the first launch, was hastened to their as
Fistance, but seeing tho battlo already won
would not interfiM with their well earned
laurels, nnd turned his attention elsewhere.
Tho pirate-chief's junk, afier being shelled
by the launch, was boarded almost simulta
neously by her crew nnd that of the Hauler's
gig ; and Captain Fellowos was fortunate
enough to secitie the chief's flag. The chief
himself-J Afyb u principal leader or the
Vhnmpoa "patriots," was idiot, by an Knglish
marine who had jumped on deck from the
Powhatan's launch ; und Tour women threw
themselves overboard nnd were drowned. The
ammunition on board the pirate fleet may be
judged or from tho fact thut this junk i.loiio
is believed to have nearly one hundred kegs
of Knglish gunpowder, besides stinkpots, car
tridges, and loose powder. Cp to this time
cnty one serious equality had lump, tied to
thu attacking force, a young American ma
rme named Adamsou having been shot with
mu8,;et-liull m tho groin ; but two other
fdtul accidents occurred in quick succession.
I he Rattler's fun cutter, inchargo of Pay
master Urownsdon, ranulongside a large junk.
Several stinkpots thrown at them missed, but
nt least one hove from the raised poop of the
pirate by a woman with a child slung to her
buck, fell into tho boat, and being followed
by others, tho crew were compelled to jump
overboard, where two were speared nnd n

CHICAGO IT WWIOFUFIX I'ROHREM
AXO I'ROSFBCTa.
Chicago, Illinois, Oct., 1855. Chicago is
a great city. In any other country than
this it would bo regarded ns ono or tho won
ders or tho world. A Tew yenrsago it was
considered at such ft distance from tho sea
board that n journey to it was far more per
ilous than n voyage across tho Atlantic, and
required more time to reach it than is now
occupied in making a voyngo to Kurnpe nnd
back to rnvy nothing of tho hardships nnd
privations ir the journey. At present it is
less than ft two days' journey from Haltimore,
nml if necessary the. travollur could carry in
his pocket us much provisions us ho would
need on the trip.
Chicago was, prior to 1831, nn Indian
trading post. In that year the whites began
to settle there, its commanding position giv
ing assurance of its future prosperity. It is
situated near tho head of Lake Michigan, on
its West Fide, which makes it tho depot of a
vast amount of trade from nil the country
bounding on that hike ns well ns on lakes
Huron nnd Superior, tho latter being tho
largest of the groat inland sens that form the
distinguishing Centura of this section of the
Union It is the trade from all this lake
shore country that lirst gave it its importance,
and which, since the introduction of railroads,
has increased to nn almost incredible extent.
Hut its geographical position not only secures
to it the lake trade, but commands and com
pels an nmount of railroad traffic to pay tri
bute to it that no ether city can boast of.
.No less than screitcen railroads connect it
with various points in the country around it,
all of which c ither directly or indirectly have
their termini nt that city. Tho aggregate
length of these rouds is nearly 3,000 miles
completed. One of them, tho Illinois Cen
tral, extending from Cairo, at the confluence
of the Ohio nnd Mississippi Hirers, to lc-
uuqup, iowa, a instance ot 4o4 miles, connects
with Chicago by no less than seven different
railroads diverging from the latter city. The
territory, fertile beyond any other portion of
tho Union from which these roads draw
their inexhaustible stores of wealth and
pour them into tho city of Chicago, is not
less than 80(1,(100 square miles, or an extent
or country equal to that covered by more
than a dozen or the old States east or the
Mississippi. The Illinois nnd Michigan"
taual, irom Ltucago to J era, opens an easy
access to the coal fields or Central Illinois.
In ly-tO, tho population or Chicago was
4,500; in 18J5, 12.0U0: in 1S50, 2,tt()0 ; in
1 i'o-J, 6ii,000; and in lb'D5, it is estimated to
be 80,000. Railroads, as yet, nre in their
infancy. What will Chicago be in tenyears ?
The receipts of corn alone, nt this point, in
1354, were 7,500,000 hnshels ; or oats 3.500.
000; of wheat 31100.000 bushels. The total
amount or wheat, corn, o its, rye, barley ami
flour, (reduced to bushels.) received there in
1851, was 15,eO4,:i0O bushels. The receipts
or lumber ato enormous. The quantity re
ceived in 1S.VJ is set down as follows : Lum
ber, 2.'2,n:i0,'JO0 feet ; shingles. 1 1 3,854, C50 ;
and laths SG.SIIT.SOO. Resales these, 1 will
only mention that there were immense
amounts or beef, pork, lard, hogs, wool, fish,
&c.

Letter from McCrea to his Father-in-Law.
Lkavknworth, (Kansas,) Sept. 24, 1855.
IEAn Fatiikr: I havo by n former letter
told you that the court met last Monday. 1
now propose to give you a history of the
proceedings. Forty-eight grand jurors were
summoned ; out of these the judge selected
sixteen publicly, who, being duly sworn and
empanelled, retired to their room. lie nf
terward privately added three to their num
ber, making nineteen, who, on Thursday,
came into court several times for instruc
tions ;but, instead of giving such instructions
publicly, the judge euch time scut them back
to their room, and sent such persons as lie
thought proper to lecture them in private.
Once he sent It. It. Kees, the chairman of
the committee thut outraged Mr. l'hillips.
Still the jury continued to be agitated, divi
dod, and to force their foreman to lead them
into court, who, becoming excited, exclaimed
ii open court that the jury could not agree,
as there were three in favor of finding for
murder, five for manslaughter, nnd eleven
opposed to finding nny bill against me.
A gaiu tho judge sent them to their room
without instructing them that they, in such a
case, bhould report the bill back to court
indorse ''Not found;" and thus tho grand
jury continued till Saturday vainly endeavor
ing to get the foreman to do his duty in re
turning the bill to court eudorsed "Not
found," when the judge, fraudulently co
operating w ith my 'enemies on tho grand jury,
adjourned the Court till the second Monday
of next November, and I am, in violation of
all law and justice, deprived or my liberty.
This poor, weak judge makes my caso ns
much a party question nsthe infamous tring
fullow would if he were on the same bench.
Wheu 1 shall get out of his hands I cannot
t' 11. Another application will, in a few days,
bo made by w rit of habeas corpus, and error
tekeu on that to the Supremo Court at
usliington, which, 1 think, is uiyouly chauce
of ever getting out by law.
Now, that I am writing, 2 o'clock A. M.,
tliH city is all nwuke and in arms, several
6us;icious scoundrels having appeared assem
bled about the streets in the evening, in
conversation with tho bnndit, Hughes, who
was lust niL'ht seen prowling about the house
or Mr. l'hillips, with a eun in his hands. Jt
is supposed thut there is a company of ruf
fians Irom Missouri assembled in the bushes
near the citv, and thero in a force of at least
300 men, well armed, now ready to receive
them on the part of our city. It is supposed
that they contemplate an assault upon sev
eral of tho citizens, including myselt und tho
!emocratic press in this city, tho Kanzas
Territorial kegister. Sentinels aro posted
at every part of the town and in every corner
with a signal. 1 have heard several persons
say they would shoot Hughes. He was thot
at lust t.ight, by a man who was pacing by,
who saw him watching for l'hillips, but mis
sed. Tho people are determined not to bii dis
turbed b) him and his associates much lon
ger.uud finding that the Judge sides with
those ruffians, bavin r ono of them for clerk,
have concluded to take the law into their
own hands. This Hughes was cniiluin of
the band of ruffians who mobbed l'hillips,
und unless ho haves this town very fooii
tome Outing hand will certainly drop him
into hit grave. Matters are progressing to
wards tho formation of u State Constitution.
Members of the Convention will be elected
on the second Tuesday of next mouth, and
wo meet in convention on tho 24th of the
same month, so us to submit it to the eoplo
before tlio session of Congress.
Thu polilicul aspect is last changing. The
people ulmost universally repudiate the law
passed by the late Legislature. All resnee.
table persons appointed by thut body to otlice
are resigning. The cock's uro crowing, uud
i imvu uearu uo snot nreci. j no city never
was so still as it is to-uight. 1 hopu I shall
never again nave occasiou 10 ulluile to sucn a

demonstration will have a good effect upon
ruftiuns both here und ucross I ho river. I
rather guess they will uot think it prudent to
pay ns unoiner visit irom Missouri.

Con McCrea.

Our readers will find in another column
the list of premiums awarded ut the County
1'uir, recently held in this place. The list
came into our hands mostly on slips or paper,
and on cards, Ac , written in pencil, which wo
havo dovetailed together tho best way wo
could. Thero was entirely too much haste
in the exhibition, and too little, or rather,
no system at all in its arrangement.
Uvery depositor or exhibitor should be re
iiired to procure a ticket or card to be placed
on the article, exhibited, with the name o;
llie article the No. and class and name of
the exhibitor, and every exhibitor should be
required to procure a certificate of member
ship. Had the grounds been enclosed a
considerable sum would have been realised
for admittance nlone. Uiuits and nninv
other articles, should be separately arranged,
and only handled by the respective commit
tees. Persons should be allowed inirress.
only, ut one entrance, and egress at the oth
er, to prevent a pressure in opposite direc
tions. There are many other improvements
that might be suggested, and which out;!it 1
be attended by a committee of rrr imreiiu nt
previous to the exhibition.
There ought also to bo a revision oT the
premiums awarded, as some committees may
award too freely whilst others may Tie too
stringent. No premium should bo awarded
more than once, Tor the samo article, unless
it is for soma improvement. AVn trust that
at the next exhibition all these things will
be attended to in time. The result or the
late exhibition, and tlio great interest mani-
fastcd by all, affords ample evidence that
these annual exhibitions, when properly con
ducted and continued for several days, may
bo rendered not only highly attractive but
profitable to tha society.
Tho address on tho occasion was delivered
by S. M. Kase, Esq., of Shnmokin, and con
tained many valuable and useful suggestions.

FRANKLIN BOUND,
PETER B. MASSER.
THE SCNIu rtY AND ERIE ItOAD THE
WKSTEHN DIVISION.
The time fixed by the Sunbnry and Erie
Railroad Company, in which proposals were to
bo received for tho construction of the Wes
tern Division of the road extending eastward
from F.rio to Warren, and thence into tho
coal fields of McKenn county, expired on
Saturday last j and we presume that but a
Bhort timo will now elapse beforo tho work
is put under contract.
Several companies have been mado up, ns
wo understand, which aro composed or gen
tleman combining tho elements or capital, ex
perience and business talent, in such a degree
as to entitle them to great confidence, and who
are bidders Tor this work; and tho terms sug
gested by tho company, on which they propose
to make tho lettings, aro or such n character as
to be most rurorublo to its interests; under
these circumstances thero is a manifest pro
priety in letting the work at ns early a day as
possible, that the successful bidders may have
an opportunity of organizing their forces be
fore the setting in of the winter.
The distance from Erio to Wnrrcn is about
fifty miles, and from Warren to the point orex
tention in the coal field of McKenn county is
about thirty miles, making a distance of some
thing over eighty miles or road, which it is pro
posed to let at tho present time. The terms
or payment on which tho bids are made, ac
cording to tho stipulations or the Compnny,
uro one-hair in the bonds or Erie City and the
counties or Erio and Warren, one-fourth in
tho seven per cent, bonds or tho Company,
nnd one-fourth in ensh. In reference to the
elements of trade and traffic between Erie
and Warren, we ure not particularly advised,
but judging from such data as is within our
reach, we take them to be inconsiderable and
confined, probably to un ordinary local pas
seiigertravel and some lumber trade, for which
arlic'i! arren and vicinity is a depot In
reference to the elements of trade, however,
which is necessary to the fuppert of a rail
road, the case is different when the track is
extended into the coul field. Hero iiaturo
has been most profuse in her developments.
The hills of McKenn and adjoining counties
ubotii d in rich deposits of bituminous coal'
which are within the grasp of the miner, re
quiring tho most inconsiderable efi'ort for the
production of large quantities. Iron ore of
superior quality is also to bo found in abun
dance, whilst tho same lands produce liiuu
Rtoiio of inexhaustible extent. For theso
elements of wealth and commerce, there is
on either side of tho Lake n market to any
extent which the capacity or the road whi n
built with n single track can meet, and it is
therefore that every consideration which
should influence the Company in the progress
of its woi l, calls loudly 5 r tho immediate
construction of the western division of the
road. At the present lime we are informed
coal is worth ut Erio from four to live dol
lars by the cargo, and this with n demand
which can by no nuatis be supplied with
tlie existing facilities of retting it to market.
The construction of thL- division of the road
wiil be fraught with rosuhs of r:-t impor
tance to tho Company, and once under eon
tract and ma state of fair prop 3', there
will he no difficulty iu ut onco mising sub
scription to the consummation slock cf the
Company, which will bo adequate to the
construction of 'he middle division, between
the coal fields oil the West and ltidgway iu
the East.

In the Orphans' Court, yesterday, Mrs.
Hodisco and her brother, Droolvo Williams,
entered bonds in tho sum of .one hundred
thousand dollars, as udiiiitii-trator to tho will
of Mr. Dodifco, the late Dussian Minister, so
far as it relates to his persona! estate. J udge
I'urcoll decided that tho will, only bearing
his signature, nnd not having been witnessed
according to the statute, is not sufficient to
puss the real estate, which however, trees by
decent to the widow and her children. All
the property in this country, ii is supposed
will amount to 300,000.
Eroni what can be ascertained, nothing will 1
