TIE Wnnor PRoviso-Wmosx Torn NEXT p
We remarked, the other day, at some length, on
that princely bumbug, the Wilmot proviso, which
turned up just in the mex of time TO enable Mr..
ex President Van Buren to crafty his private re-
venge, because his nomination in 1874 was defeat
ed, and to destroy the election of General Cas-,
through whose instrumentality, as well as that Of
his friends, Mr.. Van Buren, was laid on the shelf,
and Mr.. Polk nominated. As soon Mr. Van
Buren, had done with 1t, he threw it aside, as
person would umbrella in fine weather !; but il
proved 30 effcacious in his hands, and moreover,
not being quite worn out in his service, that Col.
Benton, Of Missouri, thought he would take
twist at II, ana endeavor by its aid TO accomplish
hs political purposes. The term Of service of that
Senator being about to expire, and his popularity
being on the wane, Col. Benton feared that his
chances ofre-eection were rather SLIM, and tina,
his ultimate prospect of being the democratic no
minee for the Presidency would be destroyed, I'M
lees he could summon TO his aid some new in
fuence that would create a terrible hubbub and
commo,on, in the smoke and excitement OF which

nents could not survive the shock. Having used

FRoM THE PLAINs.-The st. Louis Republican
has letter from Independence, dated September
~, and confirming the previous report of the
burning of Bent's Fort:
" have little more information from the Plains
perhaps of later date than you are yet in receipt
Of To-day, Messrs Paladay and Riley, who &C
companied one of the Government trains, under
charge of Capt Keits, as far the Little Arkansas
arrived by way of Bent's Fort. Mr.. Paladay has
been in the employ of William Bent, at the Fort.
On the 10th August he was sent over in the direc-
ton OF Kit Carson's settlement, on the Moro. In
returning, he fell in company with the train Of
Capt. Keits. While they were encamped at the
Hole in the Rock, they heard distinctly a loud re-
port, resembling that of cannon. They iourneyed
On-crOssed the Arkansas river on the 22d August
and came up 10 the site of the Fort, and saw that
the rubbish of the buildings was all that was left
1t had been burnt down~by the Indians and was
still smoking and burning on the Oath, when they
LETT 1t. They were now able to account for the re-
port, as the magazine belonging to Bent had been
fired The guns and traps were consumed and it
ls supposed all the goods books, &C. of Rents con-
Germ, had shared the same fate. The pack saddles
and apparatus were not destroyed, as they were
still IN the bastions. What had become of Mr..
Bent, or any one connected with the concern, they
could not tell; there was trace of them or their
whereabouts. As our informant came on down
the Arkansas, they saw the trail of the cattle from
the Fort. On the 18th of the month"; Mr. Bent re-
lieved Mr.. Fisher, and the latter went over to-
" Mr.. Fisher says, that in some of his converse
tons with Red Wolf, the chief the Chayennes, the
chief told him he was very anxious for Mr. Fizpat-
rick to return, as he promised that he and the old
men OF the tribe wanted to live with him that the
young men were DESTROYS of fighting with the
whites. He also said to those at tie Fort to keep
the gates closed against many of the Arapahoes,
as they would do them injury. The Indians also
said to those about the Fort frequently of late that
they intended to go to the settlement of thirty
whites, southwest Of the Arkansas in the direction
of Taos, and take all their corn of which they had
an ABUNDANCE: II they raised any objection, they
would then take their cattle; and if they still OBJ
| jected, they would make way with the men.
" The company, as they came in, met party of
Chayennes, to whom they told their numerical
strength, and asked them if they wanted to fight
them or not. They replied no. They then tried to
get some information respecting the burning of the
Fort, but all they could learn was, that the Eutaws
had done the deed"

The New Ierser Railroada.

. Commodore Stockton has published long appeal
to the people of New Jersey on the subject of the
excitement raised in that State against the united
companies who enjoy monopoly of the transporta-
ton across that State. The abolition Of this mo-
nopoy has become a political question this Fail,
and the Commodore, who has four hundred thousand
dollars nvestedi these stocks, has made public
statement of his case for the purpose of protecting
his private rights of property. He attempts to
show, and with some success, that the State Gov
eminent has sold this privilege for valuable con-
sideration that it has been ratified and confirmed
by successive Legislatures and decisions of law;
that it is pronounced by the.abest lawyers of the
State to bsinvioable under the Constitution of the
United States He concludes with the following
proposition -" If, therefore, the people of New
Jersey are of opinion that the experiment has been
sufficiently tried and are DESTROYS to take immedi-
ate possession of all the railroads of the companies
| think Though Ispeak for myself alone) that an
arrangement can be made by which the State may
be enabled to do so, and to pay for them, within
fifteen years, without the hazard of dollar, and
without any sacrifice of her own unsuled honor,
or the property of individuals who have confdingly
pledged their all on the integrity of their fellow
citizsus." The State should accept this proposal,
and purchase the rights she has sold to individuals
before she can entertain honoraby the proposal to
abolish them. It may be fairly made question,
whether charters and grants of Incorporation are
not repealable, as laws, which should be enacted
only for public purposes, and must cease when the
competent authorities have decided that the public
interest no longer needs their continuance. But
there can be no doubt whatever, that public honor
requires that the State should fully indemnify against
loss all those who possess rights which she may
have conveyed to them for a consideration, which
they have complied with, but which she may de-
sire, either from principle or policy, to resume.

Of the LIST says that official intelligence has been

guard from the 4th artillery, went in the steamer
Col Clay 10 Charlotte Harbor from Tampa Bay,
and, according to appointment, held council with
the Chiefs of the Seminoes, the place of meeting
being an old clearinghouse at the head of the Bay,
and within the limits of the Indian territory The
Indians manifested the most obliging and friendly
disposition, and agreed odelver the Indian pri-
soners, now in their custody, to the officers of our
army, on the 18th of the present month, at Char
lotte Harbor. 81. This confirms the statements re-
ceived here, direct from Tampa, which was con-
tradicted by a subsequent account received Uia

Indians had refused to come in and confer with

made by the new steamship Ohio between this city

eminent, it is said has sent to Rome imperative
order for the release of the famous Dr. Achili who
was thrown into the dungeons of the Inquistion at

The single offence of this learned doctor is that he
was a Protestant and proselytiser. In all the late
disturbances be took no political part, and he re-
fused Office under. the Directory. He was simply
a Protestant, occupying himself in distributing bi.
bles and disCOuring On theology.
