Ajiotber' Bubble Exploded. The Pike's
Peak bubble, if any reliance is to bo placed in
the reports which have come to hand during
the past week, has, as was anticipated, at last
exploded. Tho St. Joseph correspondent
of the St. Loui3 Democrat notices the arrival
at tho Crst named place of 100 Pike's Peak
ers, who give deplorable accounts of mining
prospects and suffering on the Plains. It is
estimated that 20,000 men are now on their
way, all or most of whom, destitute of money
and tho necessaries of life, are perfectly reck
less. Desperate threats are made of burning
Omaha, St. Joseph, Leaven worth, and other
towns, in consequence of the deception used
to induce emigration. Two thousand men arc
reported west of Omaha, in a starving condi
tion. Some of the residents of Plattesinouth
have closed up their business and fled, fearing
violence at tho bands of the enraged emigrants
If these accounts are correct, they present a
deplorable state of affairs. If rone but those
who are at fault would suffer from the ven
gcancc of the miners, few will be disposed to
complain ; but it is to be hoped they will not
commit any acts of violeuce against the towns
of Kansas, for by doing so the innocent would
suffer with the guilty; As for ourselves, we
alwavs had doubts of the existence of aurifer
ous deposits at Pike's Peak in sufficient quan
tities to make mining operations pay, and
therefore discouraged all who talked of going
to the new gold region. Other papers did the
same ; but it is extremely doubtful whether
the warnings given wcro heeded. Tho fever
was upon thousands, and go they would. Mad
ly they rushed on, many of them having left
comfortable homes and encouraging prospects
Along the road, interested parties cheered
them with glowing accounts of the success of
thoso who were at the mines ; and on hurried
the throng with a firm reliance that their for
tunes would soon be made. The disappoint
ment is, of course, all the more deeply felt
Deceived, penniless, hungry and starving, al
though they have themselves much to blame
is it any wonder that these men, as they come
plunging homewards in thousands, should
threaten to revenge themselves upon the towns
and villages that helped to dupo them t
Sisblrt & Erie Railroad. The Board of
Managers of tho Snnbtiry and Erie Kailroad
met in Philadelphia on last Thursday. The
route for the middle division hich begins on
the East at the mouth cf Sinncruahoning and
terminates at a point near Warren by way of
West Creek, St. Mary's, IliJgway, Clarion riv
er aud Two-mile Bun, was adopted, and the
work awarded to Messrs. Milton Cortright it
Co., who have agreed to complete three
fourths of the work on or before the first day
of January nest, and the remainder by the l&t
of July following. Thus tbe whole line of the
Sunbaiy and Erie road is nndcr contract. The
Eastern division has long been open to Wil
liamsport, and it will be opened for business
as far as Lock Haven by the latter part of nest
month. From thence to the mouth of the
Sinnemahoning the Eastern division is already
graded, and tho laying of the track will pro
ceed with all proper speed. The Western di
vision of sixty-five miles, from Erie to War
ren, is progressing rapidly, and it is expected
that it will bo open for business by the first of
October of this year. The middle division
will then be tho only part left unfinished.
The contractors to whom this division has
been awarded being men of experience and en
ergy, it is confidently believed that the entire
road will be finished and ready for business
by November, 1SG0.
Col. Forney puts the enormity of the most
recent phase of tho doctrine of "non-intervention"
with slavery in tho Territories thus
strongly: "The Washington Constitution, speak
ing for Mr. Buchanan, in editorials dictated
from bis brain, if not written by hi3 own hand,
plants itself upon the doctrine that to the Ex
ecutive vmst be coiflmillcd the duty of enforcing
the decisions of the Supreme Court in other
w'ords, that non-intervention by Congress, and
non-intervention by the people of the Terri
tories, are to be substituted by Executive in
tervention. Such is tho new position of Mr.
Buchanan, his Cabinet, lii3 dependents, aud
his organ. It is impossible to conceive any
thing at once more dangerous and revolution
izing than this assumption."
All the Tear Koukd. J. M. Emerson &
Co., proprietors of tho "U. S. Journal," a
weekly paper of much merit, have sent us a
copy of Dickon's new publication, entitled
"All tho Year Round." It is issued, each
week, in New Yortc, simultaneously with its
issue in London, at five cents per number, or
$2.50 a year. The Grst number contains the
opening chapters of "A Talo of Two Cities,"
and a great variety of other interesting mat
ter from the pens of the best English writers.
This periodical is issued in a form convenient
for binding. Address, J. M. Emerson & Co.,

Lato arrivals from Europe bring the news
of the death of Baron Humboldt, author of
"Cosmos," at Berlin, in the 00th year ol his
age. He has a world-wide reputation ols a
practical man of science, a traveler, an obser
ver and elucidator of tho phenomena of na
ture, a diplomatist, a practical p hiloscphe.,
and a great writer.
FILLIBUSTEEIS1I EXTBAOBDINAEY.
It is moro than intimated by Washington let
ter writers that President Buchanan is concen
trating troops on tho Mexican frontier, with a
view to interfere in tho affairs of that country,
and obtain a portion, or all, of the State of
Sonora, which lies most contigious. A cor
respondent of tho Cincinnati Times, writing
from TuUac, under date of April 29th, sets
forth the beauties of that province in the fol
lowing expressive style : "The condition of
Sonora, at this time, is truly deplorable. A
civil war, carried on in a style of barbarity
which would disgrace the dark ages, between
the parties of Gaudara and Pesqucira, has des
olated and impoverished tho country. The
able-bodied men are pressed into an atrocious
military service, and in many cases tho pris
oners taken by each party in battle have been
inhumanly shot. Every town and precinct has
been, and now is, distressed by robbery, un
der tho name of 'forced loans' the wretched
people being stripped of their last mouthful
of tood to satisfy the rapacity of their oppres
sors. Confiscation of property, imprisonment
on false charges, banishment and persecution,
has driven most of the wealthy families from
tho State, and broken up many flourishing
business houses. It is impossible for any one,
native or foreigner, to engage in business with
any decent security for the capital they invest.
They are liable to be arrested, plundered, and
thrown into prison, without notice, trial, or
provocation, except that their property attracts
the cupidity of some revolutionary leader.
The number of ex-Congressmen in Kansas
is large. John A. Allison, formerly of tho
Beaver District, Pennsylvania, is in the lum
ber trade at Atchison. Thomas L. Aiken, late
Representative from Missouri, is speculating
in real estate in Leavenworth. Fred. P. Stan
ton, who for ten years represented one of the
Tennessee Districts, is practicing law at Lc-
conipton. Epaphroditus Ranson, formerly
Representative from, and afterwards Governor
of Michigan, is Register in the LandOflice at
Fort Scott. J. W. Whitfield, who twice mis
represented Kansas in the House (to which he
was elected by Missouri votes), holds the same
position in the Land Office at Kickapoo. Gen.
Jim' Lane, who in 18-31, was a member of the
National Congress from Indiana, is practicing
law in Lawrence. John Pettit, who, while a
United States Senator from tho same State,
was so cpigramatically anathematized by
Benton as a ''great liar, and a dirty dog, falsi
fying public history, and slandering private
character," divides his time between drinking
whiskey and sitting upon the Supreme Bench
of the Territory. It is understood that any
of these gentlemen would, if it were absolute
ly fcrced upon tbcm, accept a seat in the Uni
ted States Senate from fhe future State of
Kansas.
AVeuy Natural Ixqeiut. The President's
organ at Washington, recently contained
leader composed chiefly of interrogatories,
under the head of "What would the country
gain by the triumph of tho Opposition." It
is very natural that tho President should be
solicitous to know what his successor will do ;
but he has only to wait quietly and he will be
suro to know all about it. The Constitution
imagines that when tho Opposition come into
power "the most atrocious want of American
patriotism will be construed into merit." A
trocitics of such a character have so often had
such a construction put upon them of late that
the country will not be startled from its pro
priety by the prospect of fcuch a contingency.
It is not novel enough to be alarming.
The slow Progress of tub Austrian's Ex
plained. Much surprise is expressed by many
persons that the jUistri.ins, after crossing the
Ticino, should lAve made such slow progress
in their march of invasion, when every hour
to them is so important. It is stated in a let
ter from Turin that the Sardinians have blown
up the bridge at Bufialora, felled trees across
the roads, and cut tho dykes, and thus have
overflowed the fields this side tiic Ticino.
This, perhaps, will account for tho delay of
the Austrians. Many of tho roads across tho
plains of Sardinia, now the seat of war, are or
were lined with rows of full-grown trees, and
a very little labor would materially obstruct
tho roads, for two or three days at least.
Kansas asd Nebraska. According to late
advices from Nebraska, it seems that the peo
ple of southern Nebraska arc earnestly agita
ting for the annexation of so much of that
Territory as lies south of tho Platto river, to
Kansas, so as to secure her admission into the
Union at the next session of Congress. Pub
lic sentiment in that portion of the Territory
strongly favor3 the proposed annexation, and
it was recently resolved in mass convention
that Nebraska Ciiy nominate delegates to the
Kansas Constitutional Convention, which is to
assemble at Wyandotte in July.
Education and Fighting. By a law of Prus
sia, every child between the ages of seven and
fourteen is required to go to school and to
loam to read and write. In 1815 thcro were
but two persons in a hundred who could nei
ther read nor write. 2,328,000 children of the
2,900,000 between seven and fourteen years
attend school. In the standing army of 120,
000 but two soldiers arc unablo to read. In
case of her taking part in the war, Prussia can
bring into the field S00,000 men, in one senso
the b?st educated military force in tho world.
Caution to Tavern Keepers. Judge May
nard says the Pittsburg Chronicle in a re
cent charge to tho jury, 6tated that where a
person sold a man liquor who was drunk, he
was liable under the law prohibiting the sale
of liquor to intemperate persons. If it was
shown that the man was not an intemperate
person, the party furnishing him with tho li
quor was still amenable to law, if he knew ho
was drunk even though ho might have be
come intoxicated accidentally, and it was bis
first offence.
Mexico, since its establishment as a repub
lic, which is thirty-seven yeats ago, has hid
fitty-six Presidents.
GEXEBAL INTELLIGENCE.
Lrxcn Law is Illisois. On tho 7th inst.,
at Koctsburg, Mercer county, a man named
Bell, with his wife, were hung. Both were ex
amined on a charge of stealing 180. As they
manifested no desire to escape, they wcro kept
at the bouse of Justice Dillcy. On the 4th
instant, when no one was dreaming of their
molestation, they were beset by a number of
men in disguise, and carried into the woods,
and told if they did not confess the theft they
would be hung. Neither of them would con
fess. Bell was then bung up until life was
nearly extinct, and then taken down and plac
ed in a shallow grave, to make his wife believe
be was really deal. Sho was then hung in
tho same way, and until life was nearly ex
tinct. In the meantime, finding that Mrs. Bell
would not confess, they took her down and re
moved her husband from bis grave, and with
much difficulty resuscitated them, nnd left
them to go home as they best could. For this
diabolical act no arrests have been madc,but as
Mr. Bell is able to identify the wretches, no
pains will be spared to bring them to justice.
Tho "conversion" of Lola Montez is an
nounced. She has, it is said, quietly settled
down a humble, peaceful, exemplary, religious
woman, in her own domicil in Piccadilly,
London, having amassed a sufficient sum to
purchase and pay for a house, which is now
the receptacle and center of a large .number of
wealthy and pious enthusiasts of London,
male and female. Among her most constant
and intimate visitors is Mrs. Tbistl'ewaite, for
merly an actress, who was familiarly known as
Laura Bell, and was about as notorious as Lola
herself. About the time that she turned from
the error of her ways she won tho heart of the
rich commoner. She married him, and is
now a bright and shining light in Exeter Hall.
It was she who was tho principal instrument
in bringing about Lola's "change of heart."
It is raid that Mrs. Thistlewaite daily drives
her chariot, with four milk-white horses at

missions of mercy and religious teachings.
Mrs. Clarissa Williams, who was 101 years

cr women. Between the 1st of February aud
the 7th of March, sho knit two pairs of long
stockings, of yarn spun by herself sii.ee she
was 100 years old. Gen. Washington staid at
her father's house one night during tho Rev
olution. She was spinning, with some other
young ladies, when ho arrived, and sho says
that he sat down and "talked as chipper as any
young boy." In answer to an inquiry," What
sort of a looking man be was," sho said, "He
had dark hair, braided in a long cue, carlocks
curled, foretop cut square, white skin, and as
handsome as a picture."
Acquittal or Rev. Daniel Dowxet. The
case of Rev. Daniel Downey, charged with the
murder of Wm. Mullins, in Staunton, Va.,
was concluded on Saturday the jury alter a
deliberation of twenty minutes, returned a
verdict of "not guilty." Upon the rendering
of the vcrdictjthc court house responded with
applause from the large audience present, and
the acquitted prisoner received the congratu
lations of many of his friends as ho left the
room.
On the 10th of May, upwards of seventy
buildings were destroyed by fire in tho town
of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, involving a loss of not
less than half a million of dollars. It is sus
pected that the fire was tho work of a gang of
worthies, out of revenge for the suppression
oftwo houses of prostitution by the citizens,
and the imprisonment of twelve of tho fe
male inmates.
A negro woman fell, headforemost, into a
well 130 feet deep a few days since, at Mont
gomery, Alabama. In the descent her head
struck the stone wall, knocking a quantity of
the masonry out of place, her hea t, however,
was but slightly bruised. She was quite cheer
ful when drawn out. Tho only damage done
was to tho stone icall !
Advices from Washington state that letters
have been received there from high sources,
announcing the prevalence of rumors in Italy,
that the Pope may be obliged to fly for refuge
to this country. Our Ministers at Rome and
Naples arc said to speak of this contingency
as highly probable.
'Where is Kossctii." This is tho query
now generally pronounced through the press,
in view of the European war. Tho only no
