CONDITION OF EURoPE.-A correspondent oil
the New York Commercial Advertiser, writing
from Paris nder date Of the 9th ult. says
"Paris is at this moment the most quiet, calm
and orderly capital Of Europe; and France
strange to say, is less agitated by external and
internal difficulties than any other Of the grea
or small powers, exert. perhaps, Russia. Lon.
don is all astir with the heavings Of the Irish
volcano; Berlin is aghast at the refusal OF Gen
Wrangel to make an amnesty with the Danes,
according TO the orders of the king, on the
ground that the central government Of Germa
ny must de eide the question; at Frankfort the
constitution makers have ceased their pedaniic
dispositions for moment, to speak the voice
Of Germany TO her recusnt members, though
whether Prussia and Hanover and Bavaria will
obey is another matter; at Vienna the Sclaves
are ont-roting the Germans in the Diet; in TIA
ly there is fear of the Austrians, and that tn,
the French will not bring the aid they have SC
often promised: and everywhere there is dem
ocratic and social agitation, the conflict oil
ideas and chaos of opinions more confused and
interminable in appearance than the ancient
chaos, over whose deformiiies anddiscords was
hung the veil of impenetrable night"

SLAVERY QUEsrroN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the n. Y. Journal of Commerce,
after referring to the action oil Congress on the
slavery question at the close Of the recent SEES
sion, makes these statements:
The Southern men generally of both parties,
and more particularly the Calhoun men, leave
this city with a fixed determination to r com
mend to the South some decided and separate
action on this subject.
The attempt made to procure a meeting OF
the Southern members signally failed. Mr..
Meade, a member from Petersburgh, Virginia,
wrote and carried around paper inviting d
meeting Of the Southern members, without
distinction Of party, for the purpose OF protest.
inc aeainsts the course OF Congress ON this
subject, and demanding for the South to be
DIaeed on equal footing with the North, AZ
10 the use and enjoyment Of the new territories.
The paper was handed 10 many and very lew
consented to sign, many refused. II the meet
ing had been held, il would have been not
meeting of Southern members, but partial
meeting Of the Csss men of the South. Thr
same will be the result, no doubt, Of any at
tempt that may be made IN the Southern States
IN oct M convention. Gen. Houston declar
ed that no respectable man in the South could

unnecessary, apd Inutinous. MIR. Calhoun

INDIAN JUsrIcE.-We clip the following
from New Orleans paper Of the Sih:--On
last Saturday night, al Vaudeville, on the
other side OF the Lake Poncharirain, an la.
dian murdered an Indian, by stabbing him
with large knife. A son of the murdered
man immediately gave information to two OF
the tribe, end they took the offender into
custody. On Sunday morning court com
posed Of ten Indians was formed 10 hear the
case and pass sentence. The proofs were
mos, conclusive, and the prisoner was al
once condemned to death. Whereupon he
was measured, his grave marked out, and
he himself set To work digging il. When
the grave was finished, rifle was placed in
The hands of The murdered Indians son for
The purpose Of doing the execution. Al The
first shot, death was not produced; the sec.
ond sho, also took effect, but did not kill
and the stoical viola,er Of innocent lie le
into bis grave, and was there finally killed
and covered with the earth as he lay.
The court that had condemned him, the n
took their own instrument of justice in Gus
tody, and started off for the purpose of deliv
ersng him TO the civil authorities oil COving-
ton, to obtain his final discharge as an limo
cen, man. This relation we personally re
ceived from two gentlemen of this city, who
were Q, Vaudeville at The time, and who al
though they did not see The whole of the
drama, Obtained all the particulars from
persons present during the trial and execu.
,ion.
The trial and execution were had in the
most rigid conformity with the customs of the
tribe in which all the parties belonged
There was nothing hurried-no violence Of
any description. Nor would the culpri, es
cape, which he might have done, for he W: Q
not confined in any manner. Among these
Indians, when one had forfeited his life, il
has been customary to sell the Condemned
man 10 any person who would buy, and so
restore him, as il were, to life in the presenu
instance, three hundred dollars we're offered
10 the tribe for the criminals life, which was
'efused. The delivery Of the execulioner
up TO The authorities Of the State, is an imi-
talion OF their more civilized brethren, who
when they kill in selt.defence, surrender
themselves for legal discharge from censure :.
While we lament the condition Of these
wild men OF the forest, we must admire the
prompInsss with which their Justice was ad
.ninislered,

THE Two MvEs.-It seems to be very clear
from the subjoined statement of the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Philadelphia North
American that Gen. Cass was privy to the fact
OF the preparation of the two lives of himself
containing the contradictory statements as 10
his position on the Wilmot proviso question.
Indeed there is little room for doubt on the
subject, as Cass was at the seat of government
at the time, and his friends would not ha We
dared TO attempt such an attrocious decep-
ton without some sort Of consultation with
him. The following is independents" state
ment:
On the day OH which Mr.. Mangum exposed
to the notice Of the Senate the deception in
the tw o editions of the lite of Gen. Caas, the
Hon. John Wentworth volunteered in the pres
ence of one or more WING Senator's, a state
ment TO this effect: That he purchased at the
office of the Congressional Globe documents
for circulation i'm his district, and among Others
the life OF Cass issued in the month Of March.
Upon examining the sketch he discovered
the extract from the Nicholson letter, with a
commentary by the biographer, unfavorable
TO the Wimot Proviso. Fearing the political
eject OF such document in the free States, and
being himself Wilmot prouiso man, he called
ON Gen. Cass and represented to him the dan
gcrous tendency of circulating the publication
at the North. Gen. Cass informed him that
ii should be corrected. Some time afterwards
he had occasion to pisit the Congressional
Globe office, rhen he ,cos informed that an
edition Of his life had just been published better
suitcd to his district, accompanied by the col
;sntury remark, that the first sketch had been
issued TO secure the nomination, and the other
TO secure the electiOn.
This is substantially the statement made BY
Mr.. Wentworth, and it furnishes the most in
contestable evidence that the insertion and
suppression Of the matter relating TO the Will
mot proviso IN the different editions Of the life
of Gen. Cass was q wilful and deliberate fraud
concocied for the purpose of operating on the
North and South, and Of which he was entirely
cognizant.
The metropolitan organ has attempted to
treat this conspiracy with indifference, as if a
fraud so monstrous and touching question
so delicate was matter for baddinsge. | ap-
prehend that The honest people whom it was
designed TO deceive will think otherwise, and
punish 1t with the severest reproba lion. AT
all events, every man who respects the obliga-
lions ofintegrIty and honor in politics must
repudiae connection with party. whose can

TEXAS MINEs.-An old mine, supposed TO
have been formerly worked by the Spaniards,
has been discovered on the upper Nuecess.
The shat, had been originally sunk near 60
feet, and there are relies Of old furnaces aud
mining tools on the spot indicating that a
good deal Of labor had once been expended
there. On opening the shaft, however, il
was found that the mineral was chiefly iron
ore, containing bright PARTICLES Of yellow mi
ca, which induced the Spaniards to work on
supPosing j, was gold.
at is well known that they were so igno-
rant Of geology" says the Houston Tele-
graph, "lhai they often made extensive exca.
valions to search for gold and silver in rocks
that were as destitute Of these metals as the
forest trees that overshadow them. If the
mines on the San Saba and Nueces had ever
yielded any considerable quantity of The pre-.
cious metals, some account OF them would
have been found in the old records Of Bexar
or the Presidia OF Rio Grande.r "The re-
mains Of an old fort, CONTINUES that paper)
were discovered on the Trinity, Ear above
the present city Of Dallas, about four years
ago, by party Of our troops, who were out
ON an excursion against the Indians. Short
ly after this tort wac discovered number of
sons,raversed The country for miles around
IL, in search Of mines; Lut their search
was ffuiileos, and such, We fear, will he the
search Of those who are endeavoring TO find
valuable silver aud gold mines on the San
Saba and Nuecess. There are, doubtless,
very rich aud valuable veins of lead ore in
those sections, quite similar TO the lead ores
Of Missouri and illinois: but il Is very doubt
ful whether any valuable mine Of silver or
gold will even be found in any portion of the
county waIered by The Nuecess, Colorado,
Brszos, or Trinity. In the country waiered
by The Puerco, and the tributaries of the
Rio Grande above the mouth of the Pusrco.
where the primitive rocks abound, we may
reasonably expect That valuable gold and sill
yer mines may be found"
There will, no doubt, be some magnifcsn,
Texas mining schemes concocted, now ,ba,
the war is over; but prudent people will
look before they leap. There is nothing,
more dangerous, than hunting after mines Of
The precious metals.
