EXPEDITIoN TO THE DEAD SEA.-Tbe
public mind of the United States seems
to be gradually opening to the great
truth, that peace has its triumphs as well
as war. The exploring expedition sent
ont under Capt. Wilkes was AN enterprise
harmoniously characteristic of an active
energetic, and inquiring people; aud did
we not know how unrehectlve party
spirit is apt to make the best of us. we
should feel surprised at being informed
that even one man was to be found in
The Union who could attempt to dlSparage
an undertaking so interesting to the stu.
dent of Biblical history, aud so well cal
culated to increase the general stock Of
scientific information, as an attempt TO
clrcumnavigate and explore the Lake
Asphaltites, or Dead Sea-the scene OF
the Almighiy's awful judgment upon the
"cltles of the plain" Those who decried
the projected expedition as a 'party of
pleasure, must either have been entirely
ignorant, or have quite forgotten that the
Journey was one necessarily attended with
prvation, difficulty. and Danger; and that
both Lieut.. Molyneaux, of our own naval
service, and Costigan, the only travellers
who preceded Capt. Lynch, perished of
feves caught OF the Dead Sea. Nothing,
in short, but happy combination of firm,
ness and tact on the part of the officer
commanding, and an undaunted resolution
TO overcome all obstacles, moral and
physical, as well as incessant vigilance,
carried the party through the nardships
and perils which they had to encounter

President Taylor has received letter
from Peruvian Inca, stating that among
the prophisies preserved in the principal
temple which speak of the loss of the
Kingdom, there is one which says that
the INcAs or Emperors and Kings of Peru
shall be restored to their Kingdom by
people who shall come from certain
country called INGRETERRA, England)
The Inca then says:
As the prophesy does not expressly say
whether they are TO be Anglo Europeans
or Anglo Americans, it appears to me
that the children of the Sun ought to
follow their own inclination. /, like
others, am we'll convinced, and constant

as just as they are happily expressed,
from the Ogdensburg Forum:
"The mission of the Wing party is
identified with the high hopes and aspi-
rations of the great intellects Of the age.
1t embraces those thoughts and senti-
ments which burn in the bosom of patriots
and philanthopists. improvement, "EX-
celsiof," is their motto. They seek to
develope the natural resources of our soil,
to facilitate social intercourse and COM
merce by Improvements in communica-
tions, to promote the advancement of skill
and industry by suitable protection and
encouragement; to expand the human
mind by ample facilities for acquiring
knowledge and the protection of his rights
i'll lite, liberty, and property. And fellow
citizens, are not these objects worthy Of
your serious regard and attention-wor-
thy Of the name you inherit, of the ances-
try you boast! If they are, give them
your support, and let it not be said that
any personal dlsappolntments or private
griefs have alienated or even cooled the

MORE BLooD4 WORK IN AFRICA-Let-
ters from St. Louis (Senegal) of the 18th
July give the details OF a sanguhafy en-
gagemens which had taken place between
the French, troops and the inhabitants OF
the village of Francyez, (fonta Tora,)
some distance up. the river. Ihe' people
from the neighboring villages had Jolned
them to resist the invasion OF the French;
and, encouraged by avictory which, their
countrymen had gained over the French
some forty years since, the negroes watch
ed the approach of their assailants with
great firmness, not firing single shot
until the expedition was wltlhn elSh'y
wards of them. The blacks were protec-
ted behind barricades, and nothing but
the muzzles of their mnskets were vlsl-
BILE.
At length the firing began, and for twen-
tv minutesth the most determined resistance
was made. At length the cannon having
partly demolished the barrlcades, charge
was ordered, and they were soon carried
at the point of the bayonet, when gem
eraI rout took place, the blacks throwing
away their arms and jumping into the
river to swim 10 the opposite bank. Sew
eral discharges Of grape were made at
them, and a number of them were killed;
after which the village and all the fields
of maize were set fire to and destroyed.
The loss of the blacks is considered to
have been very great, although only fifty
of their bodies were found, the rest having
been thrown into the river. The loss of
the expedition amounted to four killed
and about thirty wounded, seventeen Of
whom were Europeans. The Governor
himself was wounded, though not serl-
ously, just as he was mounting his horse.

Alabama, left his property to his children

There may have been some wisdom in
that. One Of the wisest of the old Greek

of a friend to be given to his children only
upon the condition of their being fools,

3Oth ult, from Havana, and left the same

Mansel White & Co She brings no
mails.
The Empire City, for New York, and
the Alabama, for this port, left Chagres
on the 29th ult., each OF them having the
mails for their destined ports. This was
owing to the Mail Agent, who accompa-
MED them from San Francisco. Great
complaints are made about the misman
agement of the mails on the Isthmus.
Mr.. Gleason, the u. S. Consul at Cha
gres, Is quite sick.
There are 1900 people on the Isthmus,
bound for San Francisco.

AFFAIRs-The Montreal Courier has

shape, and is expected TO appear iii its
new dress, as the organ of the AnneSa-

Toronto Patriot will show the feeling
the annexation movement has stirred up
among the Upper Canada Tories:
We could almost think we dream
when we write the undeniable fact that
there is no British party in Lower Cana
da. Do our readers doubt this! let them
read carefully through our paper to-day
and the damnng evidence will but too
truly show how utterly departed seems
to be all that loyalty and enthusiasm
which was wont to kindle a the mention
of the words England and ''home, ;"
from the breasts of those who would
once have cheeriully encountered all the
terors of invasion; civil war, and blood
shed, rather than barter away one lot or
title Of their wels-tried fealty.

TRAGICAL.-A Havana correspondent
OF the New Orleans Picayune says: "a
few days since the verdugo, or public
executioner, was sent to the Pinar del
Rio, to carry out the extreme sentence
of the law on a criminal. The crimina!
was man of considerable wealth and
influence, and had been convicted of
great robberies and other heinous offences
His friends made every exeFtion to obtain
a favorable verdict, and, frustrated in
this, to deliver him from prison. But
in lhis also they were unsuccessful The
day Of execution had arrived-the execu-
toner was there to perform his Duties
The crowd was already collected, the
miserable victim brought ont, but the
verdugo did not make his appearance
After some moments delay the prisoner
was reconducted to his CELL and search
instituted for the verdugo. They found
him in his room suspended from a beam,
and already dead. So secretly was this
act committed, that not even the soldiers
sleeping i'll the next apartment. and sepa-
rated by boarded petition, knew any
thing about it. In the dilemma caused
by the verdugo's death, all supposed that
the prisoner would be respited until
new one could be found; but the stern
executors Of the law ordered otherwise
He was again brought out, and shot

ORGANIZATION OF THEA NEXT House.
FREE SOIL AGITATIoN-The following
letter is from the last number of the Bal

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a, rS49
1t rs stated that Mr.. Durfee, member
elect from Wisconsin, is Democratic
Free-soiler. The Democrats will have a,
nominal majority of three in the next
House, upon the supposition they gain
one in Mississippi, and that the Louisiana
delegation stand as in the last Congress.
The eighteen Wing and Democratic
Free-soilers. holding the balance, as they
do, will seek to use their power But
whichever party may obtain the speaker
ship, by yielding to, their demands, will
profit very little by it i'll the end. The
Free-soilers and Aboltionists refused to
vote for MIR. Winthrop as speaker unless
he would give them control OF the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia. They
will require this concession from any CAN
didate for whom they may vote. But
wo to the man who is elected In virtue
of such an intrigue.
| Lynn Boyd have, so far, been considered
as the prominent Democratic candidates
for the speakership, yet others OF equal
pretensions, and perhaps better prospects
are yet to be named There Is no reason
why Maryland should not furnish the next
speaker, if any regular Democratic can
| dldate can be elected.
still think that the Wings will be
disposed to unite upon Mr.. Holmes, as a
Taylor Democrat, aud should he be sup
ported by some of his colleagues he mar
stand very good chance for election
do not see what topic for agitation
the Free soil or Abolition faction can
select, unless 1t be the abolition of slavery

| of propositions, similar to those made last
winter by Gott and Giddings, will doubt
| less be offered, and produce as usual
| temporary ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. another
Abolition meeting of Southern members,
and another address But the sober and
calm sense Of the majority of members
from all sections will prevent any very
disturbing consequences from those occa-
sional ebulitions. Congress would not be
Congress without an occasional flare up.
Even should the people of this District
express an assent to emancipation accom-
| panied by compensation to owners, still
it is held by many that Congress would
have no power to interfere with slavery as
it exists here. Mr.. Calhoun's view is
that the sovereignty over this District is
still in the State of Maryland, though the
jurisdiction is in the Federal Government.
But greater objection to abolition
| here would be that Southern families
would not come here with their domestcs

''Ihis year, the distinguished General
and new Senator canvassed North Illinois
as Free Soiler made speeches through
ont that section suited TO popular senti-
ment there, and obtained the votes of the
Northern Free Soil members Of the Leg
islature. He procured Instructions from
