WESTERN MILITARY INSTITUTE,
DrenmOn Springg, Kentucky.

VNHIS Institution, on account of the rapidly in
l. creasng demand for admitlance, has been
compelled TO change it's locaton-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
modation of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated, of whom hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable "quarters" Drcnnon Springs has been
secured the future and permanent location the
school. TO the great body of our patronage, com
ing as it does from the South and West, no point
could be desirable Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville, it is easy of access in all directions
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements arevery exten
sive, afiording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and heathful position emincnty
adapts it for the purposes OF Military School Be
ing eight miles from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extravagancics usually incident to
college life.
The second term of the animal series opens on
Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open the second
Monday OF September, and close the last Friday in
June. For further information address

Oregon Matters.

The Oregon Spectator of the 9th and 10th, is on our
table. The emigration to Oregon this season has been
quite large. The Spectator puts down the number Of
teams at sz hundred, which have reached the territory,
or are in close proximity. The Spectator says some
dozen OF the immigrants have been killed by the Snake
Indians this season. Attacks have been made in several
instances on the rear teams of companies, the owners
cruelty murdered, and the stock, provisions, etc, made
away with. The entire district of country from Fort
Laramie to Vancouver, a distance of some fourteen hum
dred miles, is without the protection Of the United
States Government. This is truly a deplorable state OF
things.
The most important news by this arrival is the partic-
ulars of a treaty concluded by Messrs. Parish, ~Spalding
and Dart, with the Indians on the Southern boundary OF
Oregon. The section of country purchased by this trea-
ty, is said to be equal to the willamette Valley. 1t is
thought that the terms are such as to secure the peace
Of the Indians in future. The consideration for this
great body Ct land is the payment of twenty-6 five thousand
dollars, in annuities, no part Of which is to be in money,
as the Indians appear 70 know nothing of its value.
The papers contain a full account Of the unfortunate
expedition of Mr.. T'Vault and party, by which five per-
sons were killed. The affair took place near the mouth
oil the Coquille river. The party were attempting to
find a road from Port Oxford to the
Enquirer.

NEW York, NOV. VI
A most frightful catastrophe occurred here this even
ing, about three O'Clock, just as the pupils Of the Ward
School No. %. were about being dismissed. The Prin-
eipal of the Department in the third story, a Miss Har-
rison, was seized with a sudden illness, OF a parlytic
nature, which took such curious effect upon her face as
to cause great alarm among the children, the majority
Of whom were girls from six to eight years OF age. The
CONSERVATION gradually increased, and in the midst of 1t
the alarm of fire was raised, and the children at once
rushed for the stairs, which, in their eagerness, they
completely blocked up, becoming wedged between the
balustrade and the wall. Suddenly the bannisters gave
way, and scores Of children were precipitated to the
ground, a distance of thirty feet. The parents of the
children quickly arrived, and as body after body Of the
dead or injured childrea was taken up, the screams OF
their mothers were heart-rending. So far as can be as.
certained, forty-eight are said to have been killed, and
the same number are more or less injured. Some can
not survive, and probably before morning many OF the
injured will die.

Scraps.

A large amount of unsaleablc goods continued TO ar
rive in California by almost every vessel. One of the
last clipper arrivals at San Francisco, brought out goods
to a single house, the freight of which alone amounted
TO over eighteen hundred dollars. The consienees had
about concluded to abandon them to the ship, when some
speculator came along, and took them of their hands at
a tri1ing sum over the freight bill.
The engineers on the San Jose and San Francisco
Railroad had been busily engaged for some time in the
survey Of the route. They had nearly completed it in one
direction, and were about to examine the advantages Of
another. The country is reported highly favorable TO
the scheme, and there is very little doubt Of its being
put into operation.
There are ten steamers playing between Sna Francis.
co and Stockton. There are ten, also, playing between
San Francisco and Sacramento. The latter are, for
the most part, of a larger size than those on the San
Joaquin river. and make the trip Of about 120 miles
in from seven to eight hours.
The Los Angeles Star states that during the last
year no less than t~hirty-one murders have been com.
mitted IN the city and vicinity, and asks who to day can
name one instance in which a murderer has been punish
ed
Building materials, especially lumber, are again very
high, yet the demand for them continues great, and the
lumber merchants are making piles
1t is said that a perpendicular waterfall has been dis
covered on Sonomas river, Oregon, some distance above
where it empties into Puget's Sound, OF 260 feet.

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 8 p. NJ.
The steamship Africa, from Liverpool, with dates to
the 8h instant, arrived at 3 o'clock this afternoon. She

The steamship Washington, with Kossuth and suite,
would leave Southampton for New York on the 18th.
Kossuth continues to receive most marked demonstra-
tons Of respect in ali parts of the country.
Public attention had been mainly directed TO French
affairs. The Assembly had met, and the President had
delivered his message, the chief feature OF which Is a
demand for the restoration OF universal suffrage, with
some very slight restrictions. The Ministry asked tne
Assembly to declare the proposed measure urgent, but
the Assembly refused by reclamation. Thus the Legs
lative and Executive powers were placed In direct oPPo-
sition, and the result was anxiously awaited ior-
Public tranquility remained undlstur0ed, and conn.,
dence mistaken, Notwithstanding these occurrences.
Consols for money and account are quoted at sSa9ss-
The shares Of the California Quartz Mining Company
are rapidly advancing.
Forman & Yoden. among the heaviest Produce Bro

The state of trade in Manchester was encouraging:
and there had been heavy sales of goods.
From the Cape Of Good Hope we have advices to the
first of October, confirming the previous disastrous &C,
counts. The Cafirs, ia their late attack, had employed
fierce dogs with great success. The Cafhrs had surprl-
sed and surrounded two companies of the second regi-
ment, and had killed Capt. Oldham, two sereeants, and
nineteen privates, besides wounding twenty three. There
were eight others missing. The Catlrs were preparing
TO attack Grahamtown. The price OF bread had risen
fifty per cent. at the Cape, and was still advancing.
ExGLAND.-The working men of London had joined
in the grand demonstration to Kossuth on the third inst.
Ihere was a monster procesNon, numbering no e ; '"e"
80, 900 persons, and an address was presented to him In
the name Of the inhabitants OF London. Kossuth read a
written but very eloquent reply.
Kossuth was to visit Birmingham on the 10th and
Manchester on the 1lth. The Mayors Of both towns
had refused to call special meetings OF the town councils
to receive him, and the public had thereupon taken the
matter into their own hands 'aad were resolving TO give
him an enthusiastic reception.
Parliament has been further prorogued until the 10Th
of January.
The commissioners Of the late exhibition state the net
profits at ESQ, 900, which they propose TO apply TO the
increase Of the means for industrial education. They

A WANT SUPPLIED.-A few weeks ago we repub.
lished an article from the Scientific American limiting at
some Of the wants to be met by future inventions.
Among others was a hand-loom, to be operated on the
principle of the power-loom, and cheap enough to be
met by Messrs. Mendenhall & King, of Richmond, Indi
ana. They exhibited a hand-loom at the fair of the
Wayne County Agricultural Society in September,
which is represented as being very simple in construc.
ton, and is operated by merely turning a crank, We be-
