There is man confined in our Jail await
ing his order from the sheriff TO be taken to
the State Prison, where he is sentenced for
five years, who made the most desperate at
tempt to make his escape from Jail that we
have ever heard of. 1t appears that some
person furnished him with paper ofmatches,
and with bucket of water which he kept in
his room, he set himself to work to burn a
hole through the door large enough TO get
out. But unfortunately for him, he could
not keep the fire checked as he supposed,
and at about two o'clock this morning, the
citizens in the immediate vicinity of the
Jail were aroused by the cry Of fire from the
Jail building, and on repairing TO it, found
the fellow nearly sufocated by the smoke,
the inside door in blaze, and by their timely
assistance saved the Jail and prisoner from
being destroyed-Defance Democrat.

OREGoN.-As much interest is felt in re-
lation to the controversy as TO the title to
this country, we insert several extracts frsm
leading papers, showing that the claim set
up by England is entirely groundless, and
that that nation has heretofore acknowledged
our right TO the territory in which, by the
British feelings and partialities of some Of
our statesmen, they have since been allowed
joint occupancy. If this rapacious nation
should see fit to set up claim 10 the State
Of Mississippi, there would be as much JUS
tification for concession or compromise on
the part of our government, as in the case of
Oregon. The country is ours by discovery
of the Columbia at its mouth and at its head
sources; by purchase of the title or claim of
Spain; by the acknowledgement of Great
Britain at the close Of the last war-eurs by
right and ours by nature. 1t really seems
to us that the American who, under the cir
cumstances, would hesitate to sustain the
government in the position assumed by the
President, would be willing to re-colonize
the American States, and return again to
British vassalage. We hope there are few
such. We have every confidence that the
President and his Cabinet will maintain the
rights and honor of the country, and that
ere the lapse of many years, our domains
beyond the Rocky mountains will be peopled
with nation of Mississippi De-
mOcrdt.

Dividends of LoreU Cotton Factories.
$lO.5OO.OoO

What does the farmer and other Iaboring
classes think of this? :" In these ten com.
panies, with a capital of ten and half mil
lions, the dividends actually declared were
on an average at rate over 12 per cent,
the lowest being 6, and the highest 20 pei
cent. How much of the clear profits were
reserved as a contingent fund, we are un-
able to state, but there is no doubt it would
swell the actual nett profits 10 at least Is
per cent" What other branch of industry
derives one-half the profit from an equal
amount of capital? Let the people answer.

fEFWe have received the first number of a

or A law has been recently passed in
one of the Western States, which compels
persons 10 disclose the amount of money
they have at interest, in. order that they may

The above undoubtedly means Alfred
Kelley's celebrated, unequal and iniquteus
tax law. Notwithstanding it may be benefi-
cial 10 widows and .bachelors, in the way
above mentioned, yet we venture to assert
that nine -tenths Of the wings and all the de-

the enactment of law providing for the re-

OtFOur exchanges that have come to hand by
the last two mails speek favorably of the effect Of
the recent rains upon the crops. Here their effect
was highly beneficial where the frosts had not
destroyed the crop. We had slight frost last
Wednesday morning which somewhat injured the
grass Hay we are informed will be below an
average in this section.
In relation to Allen County the Lima Reporter
says:
During the past ten days the weather has
been as seasonable, and vegetation has grown
as fine as heart could wish. We have lately
had copious and refreshing showers, and in
stead of famine as some unnecessarily
feared, we have now the fair prospect of a
fine harvest. 1t isthe general opinion of the
people now that there will be more wheat
raised in the county this year than last; and
of corn there is every indication of there
being bushels for l last year.

TIoN.-The Mt. Vernon Banner, in alluding
to these conventions, says:
"As there. is to be State Convention at

that the editorial corps, and the democracy
generally, assemble atthat place on that day,
to adopt uniform line of action for the

We are then to understand that the I'VE
conventions meet here on the 4th. This is

EMoGRANTS' CAMP d.
Kaw Village, May 18th, lS45.
A ride Of one hundred miles from Inde-
pendence has brought us into the midst of a
scene the most grateful and animating my
eyes Lever halted! In the centre of beau
tiful prairie, which the wild taste of the
Kaw Indians have selected for their perma-
nent village, is the rendezvous of the ORE
CON EMGRANTs, assembled here to complete
their final organization One hundred and
four wagons arranged in an oval ring and
iinkedtogether with OK chains, form at once
an immense caral to enclose the stock, and
an impregnable fortress to protect them
One hundred more wagons encamped in
groups at small distances, completes the
troop here assembled, which, dotting the
plain with their snow white covers, resound-
ing with busy multitude plying to and fro
in business of preparation, or herding the
cloud of stock engaged in devouring the
luxuriant grass, combine to heighten in in
terest scene full Of animation, Sunshine
and excitement. The emigranis have been
engaged during the day, in framing and
adopting system of regulation for their
general government, and in the election of
officers. DR.. Walsh, of Cooper Co., Mo-,
has been chosen Captain, Stephen H. L..
Meek, Pilot an admirable code ofregulations
adopted, subordinate officers elected, and
the whole body arranged into four companies
intended to travel separately or in mass, as
the exigencies Of the route may suggest to
be expedient.

WHITE SLAvERY.-We translate the fol-
lowing from one of our latest Paris papers,
received by the Hibernia:
Gone Of the last numbers of La Lime,
paper published in Hungary, contains the
following announcement, from Walachia:
"To be sold, by the sons and heirs of the
late Nicholas Nika, at Bucharest, two hun
dred families-the male members of which
are, for the greatest part, labsrers, locksmiths,
shoemakers, goldsmiths and musicians. The
proprietor of these fanatics will not dispose
of them in any smaller lots than these con-
sisting of five families, but the price is at
least lower by ducat per head, than the or
dinary established rates, and advantageous
facilities for payment are rendered"
This announcement is not as might be
supposed at first sight, pleasantly; it is
serious, and what is more, it is legal; for the
Civil Code, granted in 1918, by the prince
John Karadecha, to the principalties of
Moldava, and which is at this day in full
force and vigor, actually sanctions this
slavery.
Thus, while the Christian nations Of Eu-
rope are yearly expending millions in send
ing war vessels to the African coast, for the
purpose Of preventing the trade in black
slaves, white ones are advertised and sold,
under the protection of the law, in tive
Christian countries, situated in the very in
terror of Europe, itself-Bufale Pilot.

GREAT FIRE AT QUEBEc.-A disastrous
fire occurred al Quebec, Canada, on the 9th
ult. which had reduced to ashes large per-
ton of that city. The fire was still raging
when the Queen steamboat, which brought
the news to Montreal, left Quebec. The
Quebec Gazette whilethe fire is raging, says:
"a population of about ten thousand souls
will be without house or home tonight hav-
ing lost almost every thing" Seven children
were ascertained to have been burnt.

The TARIrF.-We have always contend
ed that the effect of the present iniquitous
system of duties was calculated, if not de-
signed, to benefit few northern manufac-
turers and capitalists at the expense of the
people, and consequently to the detriment
Of every other branch of industry. If any
evidence Of this was wanting, in addition to
that to be found in the act iisslf.anF the
circumstances Of its creation, it is ferclbly
embodied in the following result Of "actual
dividents in the year 1874" as compiled
from the reports of the treasurers of the
Lowell Cotton Factories. The proceeds Of
these corporations lastyear, actually divided,
are as follows:

The RICH FURNITURE OF THE NABoBs I'M
TAxED.-While the, Tax Bill of last session
was pending in the Senate, a proposition
was adopted, levying tax on all household
furniture, gold and silver, jewelry, &C., be-
longing to any person sr firm, amounting, in
the aggregate, to four hundred dollars. In
the House of Representatives, this amend
ment to Kelley's Tax Bill. so Just in itself,
was stricken out, and another substituted,
declaring that the furniture Of every des-
criptien used in boarding house, tavern or
hotel, except the kitchen and dining-room
furniture necessary for the family, shall be
taken and deemed as stock in trade, and
taxed accordingly. Under this amendment,
the scanty furniture of tavern or boarding
house is subject TO taxation, while that Of
the banker, with his silver plate and rich
carpets--his costly sideboards and luxurious
sofas-his rich jewelry, &c, Though they
may amount toaas many thousands as the
furniture of the boarding house keeper dses
to tens, yet it is exempt from taxation
Why this is so-what justice there is in it
and what excuse can be given for such par
tial and unjust legislation--are matters
which the federal members of the Lcgisla-
ture must answer.
With such facts as these staring them in
the face, the federal party claim that the
law equalizes the taxes. Shame, where is
thy blusb!-Ohio Statesman.

alton of the members to maintain their 10y

devoted to the Female Orphan Society, and
the other half to the Charity Hospital.

A DuEL.-On Tuesday morning last, a
hostile meeting took place between Mr. Ed
ward s. Willing and Mr.. William Schott,
both residents Of this city. The place of
meeting was Naaman's Creek, in the State
of Delaware, about twenty-one miles from
this city. Both combatants fired together,
between the words one and tDo, and both
shots took effect at the first fire. Mr. Willing
was wounded in both thighs, the ball grazing
the right, and passing entirely through the
left thigh. Mr.. Schott received his adver-
sary's ball in the Aeshy part of the hip
The wounds are not considered dangerous.
It is said, that Mr.. Willing was the chalen-
ger, in consequence of an alteration with
Mr.. Schott in Walnut Street on Saturday af-
ternoon last.--Neaps Saturday Gazette.

THE MIAMI EXTENSION.

We are informed that on Tuesday, the 10th
instant, after the water had been let into the Ca
nal, that while the State boat was passing through
lock on Section 10, large current Of water
broke through the upper gates with such force
as to carry away part of the lock, and renderit
useless. This will prevent for some days the
passage of boats, but will soon be repaired. We
do not much expect to hear that boats have ira
versed the route through from Cincinnati to the
lake, much before the lst of next month.
This Canal will prove largely beneficial to this
hitherto neglected portion of the State, and our
farmers and business men will each be benefited
by its facilities for transportation. 1t will mater
tally reduce the cost of heavy and bulky articles,
such as iron, salt, crockery, &c., articles of the
first necessity, and will bring our markets within
convenient distance. Farmers will get better
prices for their produce with less trouble and ira
vel than hitherto; besides it opens our country to
the observation Of the travelling community, and
these advantages will do much to attract others
to settle amongst us, and help to clear up the
wild lands, of which there is yet abundance OF
excellent quality.
The absurd policy of our Legislature in shut
ting out from sale the Canal Lands in this section
of country for nearly ten years, though at length
dessted from, has proved of incalculable detri-
ment. During this period the tide Of emigration
rolled elsewhere and with bad roads and every
disadvantage which belongs to an unsettled coun-
try our farmers have had to toll, much longer than
needful, the prosperity of the country retarded
because some speculating wiseacres thought that
the land would be more valuable. The expert
ment has been tried and Canal lands are now ap-
praised and sold at less price than they were
eight years ago. But these Instructions no long
er check our prosperity, and we have in this Ca
nal new element added, tand many years will
not have passed before the northwest will rival the
fairest agricultural portions of the State.
Various speculations are INDUCED in as to the
effect of the opening of the Extension Canal, COM
pletng as it does the most direct route from Gin
cinnati to Lake Erie. The Albany Argus thinks
it will draw large portion of the Southern trade
to New York; be this as it may, there can be no
question that it will be the channel of an extern
sve trade.
