A Slight Mistake. \ young man went to see the daughter of s Presbyterian elder lately, whose house was near a mill-dam. It being in the spring of the year, the waters made considerable of a roar ns they tumbled over the dam. The modest voting gentleman tapped lightly at the dour at first, and received no answer. He lopped again—sill no answer. Again and again he repeated his knocks, but still he was unheard. Mustering up courage, he pro oceded In inflict sundry thumps upon the door so severely lhai the staid old gentleman rushed breathlessly to open the door.

At ihe meeting of ihe Anuiic Society of Bengal, on ihe 6th August, Major ThuilUer announced that Col. Waugh, Surveyor General of India, had completed his computations of the positions and eleva tions of the peaks of the Himalayas. The result was lo depose Ihe mountain Kanchin jmga from its throne as the highest point on the earth’s surface. That distinction belongs for to a peak 100 miles from Kan chinjmga, and between that mountain and Kanmandoc. This peak ij ascertained lo be 29,002 feel above the sea level; Kanchin jmga is 28,156 feel ; and Dewalagirl, the mountain which “ school geographies’’ per sist in calling “ ihe highest mountain in the known world,” is only 26,826 feel. The mountain has no name in'elligible to civilized men, and Col. Waugh has'therefore ventured to denominate it “ Mount Everest,’' after a former surveyor general.

The ‘Dickin son’ for comfort and a warm welcome! Theie are a few who look forward lo the admiss ion of Kansas as a tree State under, the rule of Mr. Buchanan. Such have a very tenacious faith in im probabilities. The Slave Power has all along made its points boldly and unblushingly. It has uniform ly declared during this canvass, that its wrath may not be appeased with a less sacrifice than Kansas, Cuba and two Slave Slates ont of Texas. These acquisitions lo its already extended domain will give il power to prevent the admission of any more free Slates—which is declared lo be its ultimatum. We hope for better things, but il is wise lo prepare for Ihe worst. Il behooves all good Republicans to look the future in the face. Let us all do our duty and trust Providence to direct. The sleepless eye, Die cool judgment, the up-gazing soul, the stout heart and the ready hand—these are the reliable defences ol Freedom in this struggle. Border-Ruffianism. A plain statement of the foots relating to the ruf fianly attack upon me lately while sealed in the Corning and Blossburg cars, by one Lyman, is ex pected, and justly, by this public. I therefore sub mil the following brief statement, for the correct ness of which I shall give impartial and unimpeach able references, 1 had taken a scat in the car next the stove and sal quietly and abstractedly, lulled into a half sleep by the motion of the car, unsuspecting, and there fore unprepared violence of any kind. While silting thus, and when approaching Lawrcnceville as I learn, I was partially aroused by bearing my name pronounced in a low voice by some one at back. I understood tie an inquiry, though I diif not catch the full sentence. Before 1 could al ter my position, or even reply lo the supposed qoes lion of the concealed interlocutor, a hand was thrust aver my shoulder into my face, just brushing my cheek bone and which, from the position of my left hand I was lucky enough to ward off without further damage. Springing lo my feel and turning so as to face my unseen and unknown assailant, I saw a man running down the aisle, stooping half double and with his hands extended over his head. The motion of the cars was suck Uial my unprac, lised feet could not follow fast enough to overtake him ; but he, passing his active life on the cars, did, truth compels me lo admit, run well and made ex cellent time. I reached the second seal from the stove, however, and halted, thoroughly surprised and not knowing what to make of so sudden and strange an attack, partially turned to resume my scat, when he turned and bulled into me headforemost. He struck me quartering about waist high and clasped me around the hips. I took his head under rtiy right arm and seized him by the hair, when a ludi crous struggle ensued during which he got acquaint ed with the stove summarily, and received an under stroke in the face. At this time we were seized by the bystanders and ordered to let go. I staled to Mr. Shalluck, 1 think, that the attack was not mine, and asked Inm lo release my arm. My as. sailant kindly agreed lo be quiet, providing they would “lake ‘this man,"’ as he called me, “and •‘ lake cure of him.” This was promised and then, for the first time, I saw my assailant’s face. It had not been turned toward me fully until that moment, as he did not straighten up when he turned to butt me. Ho was bleeding freely from two contusions on the right lower jaw. It was a face which I ncv. er lo my recollection saw until that moment —il was the face of an utter stranger, 1 then demanded an explanation and slated both to him and the bystanders that the man was an ut ter stranger to me and the cause far so dastardly an attack entirely unknown lo me. He refused either to give his name or to explain. I again demanded his name and an explanation. lie again refused- A gentleman then informed me that il was Judge Lyman. I then denounced the attack as cowardly in the extreme and the perpetrator as a coward. He threatened to whip me; I replied that he was at liberty lo commence that delightful exercise at any lime with the understanding that while I fell per. fectly satisfied with the result of the attack, and should not attack Mm, I should certainly defend myself as I might bo able whenever be attacked | me. Soon after he went ont. Hair an hour after, I should think, he returned and accosted me very meekly wiili—“Mr. Cobb, you called me a coward before these gentlemen and if you will step into the baggage-car I wilt prove that lam not.’ 1 Having denounced him as a coward, 1 could not accept any further propositions from him, aa an honorable and trulhftil man, and of course refused to go. Had not my hands been thus tied, it would Bit have evinced a greatdeal Of bravery on his part thru 16 propose a meeting with out according to his antagonist the choice of a friend. Those who wishr to test the accuracy of this statement are referred to Messrs. J. & A. Srorrs, New York; and to H, If. Hsix, Esq.,Bchroon Hake, Es*elteo.,N.

He commenced by sending me an insulting and anonymous communication, which, among ban-, orsble men, is held to be one of the greatest of in sults as well as dastardly. I accepted it as such and replied in these columns in severe but just lan guage. I charged him with sending that cummuni cation, face to face, and he made no denial. He ad mits it. Instead of calling me to account ibr my language toward him like an brave and honorable cautiously, up behind ms and with out a word of warning os to bis intent, struck at me from behind like an assassin I Brave men nev er slab in the dark, and they seldom fail in the exe cution of their purposes. This coward did fail, and that disastrously. He failed even to leave the faint est impress upon my face or body, but he taught mo (a hate a coward with an intensity I never felt be fore. I do not say that he has murder in his heart, but murderers are mode of that stuff. He has ut tered threats such as would justify extreme defen sive measures ao my part, and I am forced to hold him as a larking foe. What I have said I hate laid —and will defend to the lost extremity. In conclusion, I would state that I do not com plain of the assault, but of the manner and of the place in which it was made. He has won the con tempt of all honorable men, and worse than ail, fids lost that self-respect which is necessary to give to manhood its outward and visible sign. ■ M. H. COBB. The Republicans of Wayne have won a noble victory. Against every combination that Forney amt his associates could form, in spile of attempted frauds, they have succeeded in carrying their coun ty for Freedom by e decided majority. Now, the whole Northern tier stands redeemed. It presents t solid phalanx, against which the rage of pruslave ry democracy and KnoW-Nothingism may ftelitsolf to death. Everywhere in our little jaunt we found the Republicans thoroughly awake to the import ance of keeping up their organization, the watch fires burning brightly, and more Ilian all, and bet. ter than all, their very souls are a-flame with an un dying love for the principles we all cherish and re vere. Friends, the campaign is not yet ended ; it is but just begun. The fulness of the limos isnotyct but the lime is at hand when the piean of the might iest victory ever won by human effort shall go up from the heart of this land. However dark it may seem now, the problem of self-government is here to be worked out—-here, in troubled A merica. Do not doubt that Troth and Right must triumph. We are all to aid in this great work. No hand must be idle, and no heart faint. Freemen, by your votes and your influence you have raised Tioga to the proud position of standard bearer in the army of Freedom. It is now the ban ncrcounty and only by yonr hands can it retain its proud position. We have every confidence in your judgment to plan end yonr ability to execute. Anecdote of Beecher’s Eloquence.— An amusing incident strongly illustrating ihe po«er of H. Ward Beecher’s oratory oc curred in the course of bis speech at Albiu on Tuesday last. The speaker was showing that no other issue was involved in the pres ent Presidential contest than that relating to Slavery, and that no one had a right (o inter fere with third candidates or side issues. He said that Freedom and Slavery like two an cient knights were volunteers in the *«»•• Presidential iouro«mcnt t ' and Were entering me lists for mortal combat. Slavery stalks forth with hateful garb and diabolical visnge, threatening “to crush every foe and win the field.” But freedom, with white waving plumes and clothed in beauty, rides fearlessly into the lists, and signifies her readiness far the fearful struggle. The two champions face each other with mutual hate, their up lifted lances glancing to the sun, and each wailing for Ihe shrill blast of the signal trump' of the 4th of November. The people, as if in one grand amphitheatre, look anxiously on each with a deep interest in the result of the mortal struggle. And the almost univer sal cry is : Give them a fair fight—a single handed contest—no interference—no back handed thrusts from third parties—and let us see who will roll with broken lance in the dust. “But,” continued Mr. Beecher, bend ing and peering forward, as if he had just discovered a new pnd strange sight in the distance, "who is that crawling into the lists?” At this interesting crisis in the speech an old gentleman standing a little back of Beecher on the stand was seen to bend his neck for ward and look, with as much seeming anxiety ns Beecher himself, for the man "stealing into the ring.” “Who can it bo?” repented the Speaker ; and then assuming a counte nance of overwhelming astonishment, and with uplifted hands, he exclaimed: “As 1 live it is Millard Fillmore!" whereupon the old gentleman rushed forward to Beecher’s side, yelling out: Is’t Fillmore ?—whore ? where? 1 don’t see him!” Beecher be stowed a most distressingly ludicrous' look upon the old gentlemen,—looked still more comically at the audience, arid, —but the tu mult that followed we will not attempt to de scribe,—Medina Tribune.

But for. the presence of his daughter who, fearing such a result, very resolutely accompanied him, he doubtless would have been killed.

Geary a Liar , 1 Corrotpondeira ofjthe If. T> Tribune* Lawrbrcg, K. T„ Mov. 5,1850. Beingahead of your regular correspondent. in receipt of the following intelligence, and being also desirous that you should be kept Well posted all. matters relative to Kansas and the straggles of the Free-State men, I, without further preface, send it you. A Mr. Redfield, who came in with the party under Colonel Eldridge, and who, with some twenty others, have taken claims on the Pota waiamie River, arrived here to-day, with n report that their settlement was nightly dis turbed and annoyed by incursions of AJissou rians and Georgians who ore lingering 'about the neighborhood of Bull Creek, endeavoring, by a series of insults and outrages, not amounting to on actual attach, la discourage the Free-State men and make them abandon their claims. Mr. Redfield look back a quan tity of arms and ammunition for distribution among his men, so that it is quite prpbable that the diabolism of these scoundrel A may yet cost them dear. On Saturday last a company of these Geor gians, slaying with a Pro-Slavery man by the name of Jones, living an the Santa Pe Road, assailed, wantonly and without any provoca tion, a Mr. Sutton (Free State,) who. was working peaceably on his claim—shot at him, and drove him into his house, where they left him with threats of murder. Afterward, on the same day, this same party of Georgians met a man (whose name has escaped my memory) going to Westport for a load of provisions, whom, on learning that he was opposed to the admission of Kan sas as a Slave State, one ol them immedi ately that —the ball entering his hack, near the region of the spinal column, and coming out just below his heart. He is not yet dead, but lingering in excruciating agony. - The Committee have opened rooms in Law rence for the distribution of the clothing and provisions sent on here from the lit si. It falls to my lot to assist in the disbursement, and 1 can assure you that I never had my heart so sickening with sorrow as at the evidences of suffering and wretchedness and inconceivable deprivations which have been thrust upon our people. From sunrise until sunset the rooms literally swarm with applicants for relief— men, women and children, haggard and pale, and almost denuded with barrowing tales of insult and outrage, and murder, and destruc tion of their little all, by the onsets of these worse than devils. Some have lived on baked squash, others alone on pumpkins, some on green corn ground in coffee-mills, end some have been so harassed and hunted that they can hardly (ell bow they have lived. Most of these applicants are exceedingly intelligent, and some whose tatters rustle in the wind, are so highly educated that they would do no dis credit to the most polished and gifted circles. For God’s sake, Messrs. Editors, do all you can to induce the North to send us more food and clothing. The infamous Clark, murderer of Barber, passed through our town to-day, escorted by about twenty dragoons, the despicable wretch being too much ofraid to come among us alone. So true it is that “ the wicked dee when no man putsueth.” F1T!660 OlhsrA-of <ka prido’ttoM Qt tiCCOfDp* ton were acquitted yesterday, eight of whom were, however, re-arrested on the charge of having assisted in the destruction of Ti'us’s house. The seven who reached Lawrence came in to-day for change of clothing—noble fellows, all of them—yet, in consequence of being so huddled together in such a filthy hole as their prison at Lecompton, they were phys ically, about the most loathsome and abhor rent set of men I have ever seen—a fact which needs no comment. About a week since, when Gov. Geary was in the region of Osawatamie, be gave Martin While, the assassinator of Frederick' Brown, halfa dozen dragoons, that he (White) might assist him in his arrests of Free-State men, who are guilty of. nu earthly crime save that of retaking from the Pro Slavery ists the prop, eriy of which they have been robbed. This is pacification with a vengeance! In The N. Y. Timet of October 28, I see a telegraphic account of Gov. Geary’s official dispatches relative lo his arrest of Col. El dridge’s parly. As one of that company, appointed by Col.. Eldridge to assist h(m in conducting the train, and being, therefore, personally conversant with the facts as they transpired, 1 have no hesitancy in saying that if this dispatch be a correct version of Gov. Geary’s official statement, then Gov. Geary is an official liar. It is true that we had “ no oxen” along with us, but I cannot well see how this is to militate against us as peaceful settlers, because qur horses were much more servicable as beasts of draught, and assuredly so for the farming purposes to which they are now applied. As for the assertion that “ there were no mechanic’s tools,” it is simply ti lie, and Gov. Geary knows, or ought to know it; the soldiers who made the search having bro ken open one box of these specific tools.— There were beside, some boxes which were not disturbed. About the “ saddles sufficient for a quarter battallion of cavalry,” I will simply say that there were twenty-two, all counted, and that these were brought along by' Col.' Eldridge as property for private speculation.. \ Neither were-we “ permitted to pursue obr journey.” We were arrested as “ prisoners charged with an invasion of the Territory," and conducted by United States troops to Gov. Geary, into whose keeping Maj. Sibley was ordered by Col. Cook to deliver us.— These Were his “ written instructions," read by him toColonel Eldridge,Genera) Pomeroy, myself and one or two others. Neither, when we reached Topeka,.were any “ apol ogies’’ made for our " disiegard of Geary's proclamation.” We threw ourselves upon our constitutional rights, which we consid ered above a thousand proclamations, insist ing on this so much as to elicit from Gov. Geary a promise from the unconditional sur render of our arms, which promise it will be wise in him to fulfill. Nor was there any “disbandment with alacrity” hecduse’Gbv. Geary .“ insisted on this." Haying reached that portion of the Territory in which we de signed ie eelile, I shoqlij like >9 know what fcecessit jjber* was Ibt tfw continuance of any farther qfganiiition ? ft ' • (Neithfcy dobs the 11 report of the emigrants complaining of rough treatment from the troops,” yi any way allude to Maj.

Sibley is a polished and courteous’ gentleman, but this does not alter one wh|t_the damning fact that freemen, a free Territory, were arrested on the high road by Adminis trative power. / i On the strength of the above-mentioned document, 1 charge Gov. Geary with wilful misrepresentation and falsification of facts, in his futile endeavor to propitiate both par ties, and reconcile the old eternal antago nisms of serving God nod the Devil. Richard Rbaup. One of the aspects of the election of Bu chanan which strikes us most unfavorably is the evident and not ill-founded impression which it gives to the ruling Southern politi cians that they have bullied the North out of her choice by threatening to dissolve the Union. Thus The Charletlon Standard (S. C.,) announcing the result, exults that “The contest has been most momentous. The fortunes of the Union were at stake upon the issue, and we verily believe that much of the reaction in Northern sentiment has re sulted from the Arm and decided position that was taken by the Southern Press. There were enough of men at the North in favor of restricting Slavery to have elected Mr. Fre mont, but there were not enough who were willing to risk the Union in order to effect that object ;”and the South, therefore, even beyond the influence of its own vole, is enti tled to the credit of having saved the country from the grasp of a most unprincipled adven turer.” In the same spirit, The Richmond Enqui rer exults that “All danger of dissolution is over. Slavery will hereafter be, ns it always has been, the strongest bond and cement of our, Union and proceeds to show that Sl avery is growing popular everywhere ; for “In 1800, more than si* per cent of the population of New Jersey wers slaves, but public opinion was opposed to slaveholding, and she lound no difficulty in abolishing it. Now Delaware does not own half so many slaves in proportion to population as New- Jersey did then, yet Delaware clings to Slavery. “We write this article thus early after the election (which of itself, is another striking evidence of the growing popularity of negro slavery,) to show that negro slavery and the Union must stand or fall together, and that in talking of disunion, in event of Fremont’s electjon we were but pointing out its inevita ble consequence and administering salutary warning. Thus we were advocating the cause of Union, while those who talked of submis sion were disunionists of the worst char acter." *■** * » • • “Union man as Mr. Wise has always been, his patriotism was put to the hardest test when he found it necessary to threaten a dis solution of the Union, in order to prserve it. Here again he took the lead, and was more exposed to misconstruction, abuse and oblo quy than any other man. “But he did not stand alone; ibe whole Democracy of the North and South stood by him amt fought shoulder io shoulder with him. We notice him especially because he has been most vilified and abused." Thus the Slava Power everywhere under stands that it has won a great victory from a reluctant majority by cracking its whip over the head of the commercial and officeholding classes at the North. And it will necessarily infer that in case of a future resistance to the revival of the Slave-Trade, the annexation of Nicaragua, the .'seizure of Cuba, or any kindred project, it has only to crack a little louder and the North will succumb. Perhaps this is so; and yet the last feather will break the camel’s back now as ever. It may be difficult to say now soon that point will be reached, yet it is not safe to keep piling on forever.— N. Y. Tribune. United Stales Senator. The Philadelphia Argus, of recent dale, nominates the Hon. Ellis B. Schnable, as the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator, and says, •* Such a selection would meet a hearty and enthusiastic response from every section of the Slate, for no man stands higher with the masses of the people than docs this young and singularly gifted Democratic Cham pion.” Does the Argus ground his popular ity “ with the masses" on the effect of bis elocutionary powers in Bradford and Susque hanna Counties, during the late campaign? That he is " singularly gifted" we will not pretend to dispute—for he is most amply pro vided with that very necessary qualification for Democratic champions, in common par lance designated as wholesale lying, and is particularly qualified to stand in the same de basing and unmanly position now so ably occupied by Bigler. Did we wish our State to be lelotally mil-represented in the United States Senate, we could not ask a better col league for Beef Bigler. Our potty have designated as their choice, the Hon, David'! Wilmol or Hon. Simon Cam eron. While'both are equally endowed with ability for that high and responsible post, we deem Mr. Cameron the most available man for the present honor, [f we deemed the election of Wilmol at all possible, he would be our choice, most decidedly; but we con sider the success of our parly necessary to the welfare of our State, and we cheerfully set aside all private preferences in order to further that success.
