Der Hin DIS Reobachter.

We have received the first two numbers of q
German paper with the above title recently started
at BellevilIe, in this state, by Mr.. THgoDoRE En-
GELmASS. 1t is very neatly printed, on sheet
about three-iourths the size Of that on which this
paper is printed, at $3.50 per annu,n, in advance.
1t takes its stand where nearly all our Germans
are found-on the side OF democracy and has the
masthead. The editorials are well written, and
we can sec no reason why this the first undrra-
king Of the kind IN the state should not succeed.
There are a number Of Germans in this portion
OF the state, who, we should think, would be glad
Of an opportunity to subscribe for paper in their
own language, through which they eau obtain The
local news of our state.

a WhIg Com(cssIam.

The Hon. Willouehby Newton, wing mem.
member Of tho lower house Of congress from Vir.
GINA, recently wrote letter to his brother wings
OF That state, in which occurs this passage.
On reviewing the events Of the las, four years
no impartial observer can Gail to perceive that the
disasters which have bchllcd the wing party and
cast u blight over the prosperity of tho country
have resulted, IA great measure, from the wan
OF eandur aud fairness in avowinc and maintains
ing our principles, especially Ia Virginia.
The truth Of what is here 30 strongly vouched
will hardly be gansaid by any honest man; no,
can II be doubted bu, that Mr. Newton, in telling
his wing friends, in other portions of his letter, to
discard for The future all gamos of fraud and con.
cealmoni, gives them most excellent advice. Such
games, although they may civc party n IuI,
momcn,nry success, will always rccol on the
heads Of those that resort to them, and ovcrwhcln
them with confusion aud ,lisasicr, ms tho short.
lived Wig triumph Of 1870 has sufficiently dc.
monsirated. May both wings and democrats be
warned by 1t!

Triniorsn,nc. VI. Phillips.

The rial Of James NJ. Phillips for the murder
Of Lowell Morse has been got through with and
the rslul Is a verdict of Guilty of manslaush;er.
The trial was commenced on Thursday morning
of last week; nearly three days were exhausted
in getting jury, two more in cxaming the wit
ncsscs, ono in argument by counsel, and, finally,
on Wednesday evening at about six o'clock, the
jury were charged by - Judge and sent out to
make up lhcir verdict They came to an agree
mcnt after about two hours delibcraiion, and at
. o'clock on the same evening, returned into court
with their verdic, az above aud were then dis
charged. The case was arguodon the part Of the
prosecution by S. T. Shope, ID. l.. Gregg and b..
+. Frdley, Esqrs.; and on The part Of the defence
by j. o. Glover, N. II. Purple, and +. L..
Dickcy, Esqrs.
Thus then, the reader may think, has this ir-
nounce sentence aud take the prisoner to Alton.
Dut il is still true as ever that
"Thcrc is many slip
Between cup and lip"
ANcr the verdict was entered, the prisoners
counscl moved 10 ares, any judgment agains, the
defendant and for his discourage, and insisted that,

OH Circuit, prc.idcu,in, Evcc,or.

Our county convention will assemble
ut Klckap0o-tOwn Tomorrow, and it will
be proper for that body to chose delegates
to attend convention 10 nominate a
democratic candidate for presidential cleo
tor in this circuit. All he other circuits
in the state have brought out their candi-
dates, and the opportunity for Peoria to
act in the matter will never be better than
on the above named occasion. The Olla.
wa Free Trader of last Friday proposes
as suitable day, for holding The district
oonveniion-lhe l7ih OF next May, the
representation in said convention to be
the same as that 10 the convention that
chose The delegates to the national con
venlIon. That paper says the delegates
for LA Sale will probably be chosen at a
mass meeting Of the democracy which II
will be necessary TO hold there before n
long time. We see no objection to the
time proposed by the Free Trader, and
if the counties of the district will attend
to the subject as they ought 10 do, the
nomination can then be made without, far.

Mail EOausl.

On las, Tuesday afternoon, a canvass
bag. such as is used in carrying newspa-
pers when they cannot be got into The or.
binary mail, was discovered on the river
bank, just under water, opposite Mr.. Co
rey's Penthouse, in this city. Upon be.
ing dragged ashore, j, was found to con.
tain quantity of newspapers, together
with two heavy stones, evidently put il,
for the purpose of sinking il to the bottom.
The papers were Thoroughly soaked with
water; but many Of the packages still
held together. and were easily recognis as
las, weeks impressions of the Springfield
Register AMI Journal, mostly directed TO
Bellevillc. Lebanon, Carlyle, and other
places south or southeast of Alton,
There were also number of Journals
from the cas-, and north.
BY whose agency the mailbag in qucs.
ton was deposited a, the place where il
was found, is now only a matter Of CON
lecture. The probability would seem to
be, that it was distracted froraa B stage

The house passed the Yves, Point ap?ropria

nocras voting agaias, it, und among them all III,
democrats from Illinois. John J. HARDIN, whig
from your state, went Tor it, as did all The wings.
Mr.. CaIhuun has accepted the Office Of secretary
Of state, and Will euler immediately upon the Ore.

the huusG nor the s.r cusn people can know any,
Thing until the matter is finally settled. There i
q great deal of excitement on these questions
Both the senate aud the house were discussing the
Oregon question to-day.
Since R,es has got to be a wing, he goes
against Oregon, and thus made speech to-day.
In the house G. J. Ingersol, Of Pa, and Kennedy.
Of Indiana, (dcmocra,s) spoke in favor; and
White, of KY, Morse, Of Me-, Schenck, of Ohio,
and Winthrop, of Boston, (whigs) agains, it. BY
reading the speeches against the last war, you can
tell what the wings are now preaching.
From the talk of the wings, they are willing
that England shsuld have Oregon, California
Texas, Cuba, Sandwich Islands, and almost any
thing rather than provoke a war. The next step
will be to surrender ourselves. Indeed, somc of
the abolitionists II New York have already pe,i.
toned congress to be attached TO Canada.

The election which took place in the Pi,tsbura
congressional district, Pa, on the 18Th ult., for
member Of congress in the place.of MIR. Wilkins
resulted in the choice Of the Hon. Mark Darragh
whig, by majority Of abou,S SEQ This is claim
ed 10y the wings as grea. triumph, the late mem
her from that district having been democrat
but we believe Mr.. Wilkins was more indebted
for his election TO his personal popularity and to
a misunderstanding between the wings aud anti
mnsons of that district last fall, than to any real
strength in the democratic party. In 1910, the
district gave wing majority of over 5000.

Saturday the l7ih of March, 1t will
be remembered, was bitter cold and
stormy day. The Saturday previous be-
ing calm day, several vessels left this
harbor for other ports. OF the vessels
that left that time, The schooner Mint and
Hiram Pearsons succeeded in making
this port, and all the others, with the ex-
cepton Of the north American, were lost
or driven on the beach on Saturday. The
jefferson, heavily laden with stone, while
attempting TO enter the harbor at st. Jo-
seph, struck on the bar, bilged and buried
herself in the sand. The crew saved
themselves upon the ice. The brig Rosa.
just after this event, was driven on the
Jefferson. The Ocean was wrecked
about two miles north. All Of the crews
saved.
The schooners Victory and Wave met
with more melancholy fate. The fate
of the Wave may be learned from the fol-
lowing letter.

council OF Seneca chiefs, recently held at Caiar-
raugus, have nominated and adopted Col. Stone,
editor of the r. y. Commercial Advertiser, a chief
Of the tribe. The honor has bced conferred upon
the Col. for his impartial account Of the Six Ma
tons, embodied in his biographies of Brant and
Red Jacket; for bis hospitality to the chiefs who
have visited his residence and for exposing the
glaring iniquitcs perpctrated upon the tribe by
interested speculalors. In pursuance Of re-
solution in council to that effect, il was unani-
mously agreed that he be received into the clan

WAsMINGrnN. March 30


Mr.. Calhoun arrived yesterday, and soon viii
open the Oregon and Texas negoiions. The
wings make this pending negotiation their excuse
for no, acting on the Oregon bill. II the negoti-
alton should be unsuccessful beiore congress ad.
journs, we can put their sincerity to the test. The
general impression is tina, Texas will be annexed
by treaty. On all these matters the representa-
ves have only the privilege Of looking on withou,
knowing what is progressing.
The senate has been all the week discussing The
tariff. The house has been on the military ap.
pIopriation bills, and is making very sautary and
Unstable reirenchmcnts. The Illinois democrat
ic delegation has voted in favor Of every proposed
reduction in the army aud navy not needed in
these piping times of peace.
The wings alc getting down-heared, very much
50. They find there is much difference between
Henry Clay and Gen. Harrison, and they are now
put on the defensive whilst, ia lS40 they were
the assai|anis. To day, | saw bond given by
Henry Clay and his second, William Green on
March 10Th, ISll to keep the peace, as he was
abnut to f5h, duel with Mr.. King, of Alabama.
Thus new developments are continually being
made.
That is not very commendable sentiment Of
his where he says ICE must hare Dtiie Skpes u
ue canno! hare jiick ones. Harrison got great
many abolition votes, Clay cannot get one.
The house will consent to an adjournmen, by
the 9th of May or fix time previous, as circum-
stances may best present themselves.
The weather is remarkably pleasant here, The
grass is two inches high in the Capitol yard and
flowers are in bloom. Messrs Dyer, Dunlap and

awaiting TO see Mr.. Ryan on his return from Eng

BANKRUPT LAW.

We hope the editor of the Democrat will
continue to give democratic speeches
against Bankrupt Law-although we con-
TESS it is rather an unchartable wish; yet
if he will continue, thereby showing the
people that the democrats have changed
grounds on this subject, he will have done
exactly what VIC proposed doing and did
do, when VIC referred to the subject. 1t
always gives us pain to be forced to show
that men change their views on matters in
which principle is involved, for other rea.
sons than conviction that the principle is
a wrong one-and hence we are relieved
by our neighbors' proposition, and say to
him give the balance of your speeches,
by all means.
On the subjec, of a Bankrupt Law, we
gave irrefutable proof few weeks since,
that the measure was democratic one
proposed by democras--and sustained by
them. We have not room--and our rea-
dcrs, we are sure, do not desire ito re-
publish the evidence then given.

WAR PANIC IN NEw YonK.--Thc de.

WAR PANIC IN NEw YoRK.--The de.
yelopements in reference to the subject Of
Texas annexation have been followed by
complete panic in the New York Stock
Market The Courier of Tuesday, 10th
ult., says:
The knowing ones among the brokers,
created quite tOar panic in Wall street
yesterday, and stocks fell as rapidly as il
the Southern mail had brought from Wash
ington a declaration of war against the
whole civilized world. ..
The Express of Tuesday, the 10Th, thus
refers to the panic of Monday:
The panic in the Stock Market is greater
to-day than it was on Sunday. II has be-
come fright. All State Stocks are lower
from 2 to 3 per cent, and Federal Govern
ment stocks from one and half to two
per cent. Fancy stocks are also affected
more or less, from one to four per cent.
Nor are merchants engaged in commerce
and interested in shipping, without serious
alarm. A war with Mexico, necessarily
consequent upon the annexation of Texas
(if not war with Great Britain) is looked
upon as throwing open our navigation, un'
protected to the privateering of all nations
for in case of such war. no doubt, our
vessels would be tempting prey to adven-
turers from all parts of Europe and South
America, under the Mexican flag The og.
itation of the Texas matter in Washington
threatens seriously to affect, mole or less
all our trading interests.
In the board of brokers there has not
been more of panic since 1867. AL
are sellers. that can sell. There are M
sales of even Texas bonds, which ought &c
rise were there any good causes for the
panic.
