Capt. Steen. United States Dragons,
has been ordered to march from Fort
Gibson, with his company, West, until
he intercepts, another company of Santa
Fe traders who are now on their route |
to Santa Fe, and thence escort them to (,
the limits of the United States.
CHEROKEE ELEoTIoN.-~W learn from
a source that can be relied upon, that
the Cherokoes have elected John Ross
principal chief,and Geo. Lowry Cd chief,
by majority Of 800 votes; and that Mr..
Ross has a majority in the committee and
council.
Difficulties in the Cherokee Nation
Various rumors have reached US, of
disturbances among the Cherokees.-
That David Vann, the treasurer of the
nation, Elijah Hicks, and Isaac Bushy
head, were murdered on the 9Th inst, at
one of the precincts, during the election.
We farther learn that the friends Of the
! deceased were arming and collecting for
the purpose of arresting the murderers;
and thatthe friends ofthe murderers were
also collecting for the purpose of defend
ing and protecting them. We hope for
humanity'a sake, and for the credit ofthe
Cherokees, that 1t is not true--that they
will not rebel against the law Of the ma
ton to screen offenders. We fear the
consequences of meeting of the bel
ligerent parties.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN CEY-
, LoN.-It seems that the 10000
slaves on this Island, were cmanci-
pated on the last New-Year's day.
No slave is now held in bondage in
any country where England's flag is
waving. She has freed over 49,
100000 of slaves since 1892.
The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette SAYS ::
{" We are informed upon the authority OF a
gentleman who came passenger in the
steamer Hibernia, that on the Cd tf July
last which every one will remember as be:
ing decidedly the hottest day of the season
here, the weather ia London was so cold
that fires were found TO be very comlorta-
Ole."
CoNcoRD, N. H.-This beautiful viii
lage is increasing very rapidly since tie
completion of the railroad. The New
Hampshire Patriot says, that thirty-seven
new dwelling houses, and three houses
notwithstanding fihy-one tenemonts
have been commenced or finished during
the last twelve months. Besides these,
one large church, and various stores,
shops, and offices, have been erected.
The Nauvoo "Times and Seasons" con.
tains the recommendary letters OF Joe Smith,
appointing G. J. Adams TO accompany Ed
er HYDE on mission to St. Petersburg.
Russia, " 10 be one OF the messengers TO in
troduce the fullness OF the glorious gospel of
the Son of God 10 the people of that vast
empire" So Russia is not 10 be in dark
ness any longer Saturday Museum.
No RAIN AT ROCHESTER," Our readers
will be surprised, as we were. in find
ing by the Rochester Democrat, that the
weather has been dry in that city, while
all the rest of the country has been floaied
with rain. ThesDemocrat, says " 1t may in
duce the weather clerks down east to be
more particular in their analysis of the recen.
rain storm there, if we inform them tina we
have not been permitted to rejoice in
regular built shower in five weeks. The
fields are literally parched up with heat, aud
the streams are as dry as powder flash"
BUNKER HILL MONUMENT Visitors
are carried to the top Of the monument
by steam, unless they feel scGrey about
swinging like pendulum over the abyss,
in which case they are furnished with
lights, and left to plod their tolsome task
up the stone steps Our preference
would be for the steam most decidedly
Christian Freeman.
PRoFANE SwEARING.-Mr. Weed,
in one of his Letters from Europe,
says =
"Anothcr thing struck me with
surprise here. Fr9tane s,ceariag has
gone quite out Of fashion,. I cannot
speak for the nobility, because I
have not reached their circle, but
with all the other classes, cursing
and swearing is "honored in the
breath" rather than Gin the observ-
ance." Oaths and impracations, so
common in America, are not heard
here, even among the watermen,
cabmen, coal-heavers, or scaven-
gers. The language of blasphemy,
in its various " sliding scales" of
enormity, came as a part of our ed
ucation from the mother country
Is it not reasonable to hope, there
fore that among other English fash
ions, adopted by Americans, our
people will soon forbear to min9le
the name of their Creator aud Re
deemer profanely either in their idle
conversations or their excited con-
troversies ?"
