Civil War.
Passed 18th May, 1850.

No greater calamity could befa the people Of the
United States, than a civil war No good citizen
can contemplate such an event without horror.
talking of subecting the South by force of arms 1t
is all wrong and only calculated to rritate The pub
lie mind. Our voice is for peace-peace upon hon
Durable terms-peace upon almost any terms, rather
than strike brother. But we confess that when
we hear Southern men talk of resisting constitutional
laws, by force of arms; when we hear them threat
ening to take California by force and make it slave
territory; of blockading the Mississippi merely be-

declared, as part of their fundamental law, their
opposition to slavery, we feel inclined to let loose
''Dogs of war'' upon them Elwood Fisher, the ed
ior Of the Southern Press who is a non-resiStant-a
man of peace, has become valiant in the cause and
now like Michael Cassie,
as a soldier,
Fit to stand by Caesar and give directions"
Speaking of the admission of California, with
laundering words, and pepper sauce arguments he
says:
We much opposed to any other people.
We have vivid of its evils immediate and
of the vices it engeners the wrongs it perpetrates,
the misery it nhicts the ruin that results. But in such
conflicts, the South would only have the right

disaster. The scheme of wrestling from millions
of free people by the formula OF majority vote

sum- and this with the avowed design of fixing eternal
barriers against their future progress, not surpassed
in turptude and will be surpassed in the consequent

ecorded in history.
These remarks may be regarded threats or mena

And if in this terrible and unequal struggle some
should grow faint hearted treacherous and fall off BY

as their number decreases-while the aithless will snl

Now, we think, unless a majority of The member
of Congess from the free Sates are butchered in the

readful preparation. There is only one hope left
1t may be possible that before that Terrible event
his courage, like that of distinguished citizen
named Robert Acres, may ooze out at his lingel
ends. Let Us hope for the best.

Deplorabie Condition of Whiggery in New
YORK.

Bennett of the New York Herald gives the follow
ing graphic description of the present condition of
the whig party in New York:
The democrats having thus determined to heal their
fcuds and settle their difficulties, the question is,
what are the wings going to do They have aboli-
ton tail trailing after them, well the democrats.
They have got the gher law" aIolitioniss hanging
their skirts Are they, like the democrats, determined
upon shaking this circumference from them, and going
into the contest divesed of such unnatural and cnmber
some companyl AS yet, we have seen no symptoms of
any such action II they do So it will be in vain that
they will attempt any organization They have attach
ed to them party of aotionists and ismes whose sup
port is defeat and death any party and whose
ton with them heretofore, has injured them vitay. Ii
they do not cut clear of the Seward clique and render
harmless the poison which is daily emitted by the New
York Tribune and the clique of Fouriertes who
round that concern, the whig party in New York will
rue it when it will be too late

General Joseph Lane.

General Joseph Lane, the Marion of the Mexican
War, has gained no less fame in his far distant home
in Oregon, than he did on the battle-elds of Mex-
CO. His course, Governor of that rising terrific
ry, has reflected honor the State of Indiana and
trust after the publication of the following Joint
Resolutions, the tongue of calumny viii be mute.
One of the most outrageous acts of the Galphin Cab
met was the removal of this gallant officer. The
people of Oregon feel that his place cannot be sup
Piled His appointment most judicious. His
talents eminently suited TO the station His f.
deity and integrity was well calculated to endear
him 10 the people of Oregon. During his short ad-
miniStratiOn, he has the confidence and love of
the numerous Indian tribes, who looked up TO him
their great father who would take care Of his red
children The resolutions are full of deep feeling
and no doubt speak the sentiments of the people of
Oregon:
JOINT RESOLUTIONS.
Be resolUed by the Legislative Assembly Of tie Terrific
ry of Oregon That the of General Joseph Lane
as Superintendent of Indian affairs, meets with their
fullest appreciation: and that his extraordinary energy
in that department, merits the thanks of the people
Oregon: That the just policy coupled with the great
rmness he has exercised towards the Indian
peaceful relations with them and that few could have
accomplished successfully, what his Kindness neo-
rty and rmncs have done to the bonds of last
ing peace with the tribes surrounding us.
ResOLUed That in the discharge OF his executive du-
ties as Governor of Oregon, he has uniformly acted
with view the hest interests of the tooe people and
that his demeanor in Office has afforded no ground OF
just complaint, but the contrary, has been such
meet Tie best expectations and warmest wishes of the
people.
ReSoIred That they regret sincerely that the Pres-
dent Of the United States has deprived the Territory
Oregon of the future services OF one emnently
full and whose usefulness enhanced by the unbound
ed confidence of the people whom he placed
ResOIced, That the conduct of General Lane his
private life has been such to secure the warmesi
friendship of the people And the purity of his private
relations has not been less than his energy has been
great in the discharge of his official duties

A LosiNa ACQUISITION. From numerous OBJ
eervatIons and calculations, we are led to the
con clusion that the acquisition of California
has been losing business to the country.
The New Orleans Bulletin calculates that the
loss is not far from one hundred millions of
capital alone.
But beyond the loss in actual capital, how
much more has been lost in effective industry
and labor, no sta'ician can calculate. The
whole emigration consists of male adults, from
the agricultural and mechanical departments
OF productive employment, thus checking for
many years the Advancement and growth Of
the new States of the West. California sends
nothing in return for this real sacrifice but
gold; but even in al account current OF dol
dollars and cents, heavy balance is agains

LEr ulsrICE RE nnNE.

It will be recollected to what extent SIAN
der and abuse, was uttered against the brave
old hero and dead patriot Taylor, who had SO
often and on so many bloody fields freely Of
fered his breas, as shield in his country, de-
fence, onthe su7position without any evidence
that he had caused the movement in California
and New Mexico, to form constitutions. This
was expected from the opposition, it is their
vocation, but we have heard wings, or at least
men professedly SO, make the same charge
without being able to assign the slightest kind
of reason Tor L. The recent letter Of Gov.
Burnet Of Louisiana, contadicts this slander,
by stating chat the Government had not the
slightest influence on the action of the people
OF that territory. That the design of calling a
Convention, had long been in progress before
Gen. Riley's proclamation and all the details
were arranged. The influence OF Gov Riley on
the Government, was not felt, known, or ac-
knowledged, neither was that OF Thomas
Butler King, il he ever used any. lie was
not within a hundred miles Of the convention
So also in relation to New Mexico. Major
Weightman, Senator elect from Mexico, has a
card in the Union, denying that the officers OF
the general government in New Mexico iBclteC
the movement for State organization. Tit
reverse is true, and has been since 1916, wher
the first stGp was taken. He says that out o
one hundred and fifty government officers il
New Mexico, only five or six favored til
movement Tha only press in the tort6r
was in the hands Of government gaicer, an
would neither print ballots for, nor adm
communications written by, the friends of

TRAGEDY. Three persons Kiiled.--In Fleming
county, kentucky, on Wednesday OF last
week, William Ringo had an alteration with
Mr.. --, who had married his Sister, whom he
killed on the spot by single shot from re-
vover. Ringo's mother ran out to expostulate,
when the inhunan monster fred two shots in-
to her body, from which she died the next
day. His sister, wife OF the murdered man,
then ran up, when the fend shot her through
the thigh. She is likely to recover.
He then made off, but the next day was pur-
sued by the neighbors, who found him at the
house Of another neighbor. On seeing the
company advancing, he entered tae house,
He was summoned to come out and surrender
But he refused, and while attempting to draw
pistol was shot through tho abdomen by one
of the party. He then shot at another OF 'h'
party wounding him slightly in the shoul
der, who thereupon fred back, killing the mon
ster instantly. The parties surrendered them
selves, were examined and acquitted.
So horribloa tragedy it does not often fall t
the lot Of the chronicler to record.

THE ISSUE IN GEORGIA. .

Judge Garnett Andrews, of the Supreme
Court, distinguished democratic leader, a
large Shareholder aud candidate for the State
Convention, has issued an exceedingly able
adress to the public in favor Of the bills em-
bruced in the Compromise, from which we
nuke the following extract:
The Union party is taun,ed with being sub
mission men. The old nullifers tried that
slang on the old Union party to drive them
from their properly. Thank God! there was
large and triumphant majority Of voters in
Georgia then who had moral courage enough
to save the Union and country, in defiance
Of oil such SANDER and vituReration. And
thank God! there are enough Of them, hope,
still alive and faithful to their principles and
their country TO do it again. / never hear the
epthets submissionists and tory but see
the mark dt the old nulifer and disunonst
For those who were Union men then there i;
no excuse for desertion Of the cause now
The Union man then, for the sake of the In
ion, submitted to the tariff which he believed
to be oppressive, and imposed by majority il
Congress against his consent. We are no
asked now to submi, to anything imposed up
on us by Congress. We are required to abid
by nothing but what the South has asked fol
fund always maintained was right. The Mex
lean war was Southern measure. The Sout
contended that the Mexican Territory shoul
be ceded US without intervention on the sub
ject of slavery, and afterwards that the peopl
of the conuy should form their own goverr
t ments ithoutinterventiOn by Congress. TIL
we maintained and obtained. And if we cal
no. please ourselves, let us complain of on
: selves, not Of others.

RUSSIAN FIREMEN.-The following beats the
feats Of American fremen, daring and ener@
getic as the latter generally are:
"A dreadful FIRE broke out in st. Petersburg
OIL the 18th Of July: An immense amount Of
property was destroyed. The following terri
BILE incident is related In this very predicaI
ment some eight or nine fremen suddenly
found themselves on the roof Of lofty house
belonging to The 'nOtable' Lazonof. The
hous, was on fire up to the vetv roof, and sur
rounded on all sides by the flames of other
houses still further in the power Of the
destroying element The officer immediaiel
ly made his men, who could rave noth-
ing else now, and hardly themselves, slide
down the fire escape pipe, which they had ais
ready placed against the roof But, as the last
man was thus descending, the pipe broke, and
to every ones horror, the officer, who was
waiting like true man, to retire last, was left
above without any means Of Withdrawing from
the raging flames that seemed to shoot to the
skies and wore fast closing around him. He
at once threw himself from the roof, and fell
into the midst of mnss Of rubsh still blaz-
ing blow. His men, one and all, rushed to the
spot, and carried his mangled body QUITO the
fire; and wonderful to say, his life ispreserved.

PLEAsuREs oF 1.YING IN BED.

Leigh Hunt is said to have perpetrated very
bad pun connected with dormitOry, and which
made Charles Lamb laugh immoderately.--
Going home together late one night, the latter
repeated the pgoverb, " A homes home, how
ever homely." "Aye,n added Hunt, and a
beds bed, howey5t ttedg" Ii is strange
things BID. Somebody has called il bun
die Of paradoxes; we go 10 it reluctantly and
leave ii with regret. Once within the dOwny
precincts Of the four posts, how 10th we are to
make our exocus into the wilderness Of life
We are as enumored Of our curtained dwelling
as if it were the land Of Goshen or the cave Of
Circe. And how many fervent vows have
those dumb bed posts heard broken every
fresh perjury rising to join its cloud Of hover
ing fellows, each morning weighing heavier
and heavier on oul sluggard eyeltds. A caus-
tic proverb says we are all "good risers at
night, /" but woes me for our agility in the
morning. Itis failing of our species, ever
ready to break out in all Of us, and in some
only vauquished after struggle, painful as
sunderng Of bone and marrow.
The Great Frederick Of Prussia, found it
easier in after life to rout the French and AUS
trans than in youth to resist the seductions Of
sleep. After many single-handed attempts At
reformation, he had at last TO call TO his asss-
tance an old domestic, whom he charged, on
pain of dismissal to pull him out Of bed every
morning at two O'Clock. The plan succeeded
as it deserved to succeed. All men of action
are impressed with the importance Of rising.
J .'When pou begin to turn in bed it's time to
: turn out, says the old Duke; and we believe
: his practice has been in accordance with his
precept. Literary men-among whom, as Bull
wer says, a certain Incidence seems almost
constitutonal-are not go clear on this point
they are divided between night aud morning
though the best authorizes seem in favor ol
the latter. EARLY rising is the best elirir VItG
it ia the only leogther Of life that man has eve
devised. BY it's aid Button was able to spent
y half century--an ordinary life-time-at hi
: desk and yet had tine to be the most mOdisl
of all the philosophers who then graced tn
gay metropolis Of France Household Words.

The Hon. VIM. r. King, Senator in Congress
from the State of Alabama, has returned to
his home in Dallas county. The citizens of
Selma invited him to public dinner, which
he has declined. His reasons are not published
but they appear to have been satisfactory to
the Unonists. The secession papers complain
Of him very much for having expressed opin-
ions adverse to the ultraisms which prevail in
that quarter. Col. King, by the elevation and
moderation Of his character, his 6rmness, his
long servitude to his country, and his unques-
toned fidelity to Southern interests, is admir-,
ably fitted to exercise beneficial influence on
public opinion.
