6PU. S. SENATOR. Mr.. Cochran
of Portage, has introduced joint resolu
tions in the House, instructing our Sena.
tors and requesting our Representatives ir
Congress 10 use all honorable efforts for
the passage Of an amendmen, To- ,he
Constitution, so as 10 provide for the
election of United States Senator:
directly by the people. The reforp
uvu,vmpiatcdb by tho honorable gentle man
from Portage, is one that is in strict con-
sonance with democratic sentiment and
principle. The people have right 10
have a direct vote upon the election Of
men TO fill this importont station. In the>
ory, the constitution supposes that the
members of the Legislature will represent
the popular will, whea they vote for a
U. S. Senator; but it is notorious, that the
candidate Of the great majority of the peo-
pie is often set aside by the operations Of
dishones! politicians.

Late War News.

We CLEAN from the New York Tribune
the latest war news that has come under
our notice. The English fleet bombarded
Odessa, dismantled the sfortresses, and
burned the Ships in the harbor. This
paper contains the following account OF
matters in that region of country:
zone statement says that the lombard
ment was over two hours; another that
it continued necessarily for ten hours, and
only closed with the night. The Austrian
official account published at Vienna, 3Oth
states as the result of the action, that ga
battery of four guns was destroyed, ''and
one Austria ship, (the st. Catherine,
and eight Russian merchant) ships in
harbor were burned"
The Russian telegraphic account is
significant. 1t is in these terms:
"The English and French Admirals
demanded the surrender of the Russian
ships in the port of Odessa This being
refused bombardment began from eighteen
ship. A small part of the city is destroy
cu' [AA aCee+iHp w @'pu WV hlOi1 AolA0u
The bombardplept has pFoduced no ef,
fect!''
Three of the English steamers were
badly damaged.
A dispatch to Tile London Daily Neus
states that on the 22d a partial lombard.
ment took place, but not much damage
was done except setting some buildings
on fire. On the 23d hostilities were sus.
pended, and summons was sent to the
place to surrender
In the event of refusal, the Admirals
French and British, threatened to destroy
the city on the succeeding day. On the
24th, was the attack. 1t was further stat
ed that the Russian fleet sailed out ol
Sevastpool and advanced against the alli-
ed fleet, either with the hope of drawing
the latter away from Odessa, or of get
ting it between two fires, but, on portion
of the British ships offering battle, the
Russians withdrew to their stronghold.

BANKRUPTCY IN HAMAURG.-Thef follow
ing scene occurred in Hamburg. How
would such a course answer here?
cat noon, justas the Exchange-crowded
with merchants-presented its busiest
aspect, two drummers in the civil uniform
came up and rolled their drums for the
space of ten minutes, causing great COM
motion both within and out of the Rourse.
While this was going ON, workmen were
seen over the principal gateway of the
building elevating black board, on which
was painted in white letters the name of a
merchant ofthe city who had lately suspen-
ded payment and absconded with all his
assets.--When the name had been fairly
set up, bell. called the 'shand CLOCKS, or
shame bell, only rung on such occasions,
was sounded for two hours from tower
of the Bourse. This penalty of disgrace,
called the execution of fraudulent bank
rupt, is ordained by law which can be
traced to the fourteenth century, when
the Hanseatic League was at the height
ofits greatness. At that period, however,
the bankrupt's patent of citizenship, and
his certificate as a merchant, were also
burnt by the hangman,'

TRooPs IN CANADA-We learn that the
reserve battalion of the list Highland
Light Infantry, under Lieut.. COL Stack
now in garrison at Quebec. is actuall un-
der orders for England, and will embark
as soon as the means of conveyance are
provided. The first battalion of this re-
giment under Lieut.. COL Denny, is now al
Corfu, anditi is more than probable that the
second may be sent to that station on its
arrival, as the junction of the battllaion was
provided for many months ago By a gener-
al order of the Horse Guards. A Quebec
paperfurther states that the 25th Regiment
now at Montreal, will soon proceed to Ber-
muda. We have heard the same report,
with the addition that the seth Regiment,
which suffered SO severely at Bermuda
last year from yellow fever, comes to re-
cruit its health, as well as it's numerical
strength, by drafts on the depot in Eng
nd.-Ioronto Globe.

Whites VS.. Indians.

How rapidly the Indians are following
in the footsteps of the whites. When first
the whites settled California the Indians
knew nothing of liquor and could not be
made use it. Now how is it? They will
beg, fight, or do anything for l'quor.--
We find the following description of an
Indian fight at Yuba City, (aplace well
known to us) in a California paper:
at is a melancholy fact, that these In
dians have initiated civilization so much
as to introduce party spirit into thier
peaceful body polite. They drew up in
two lines. Bow-strings were twanged-
arrows were drawn to the head-the
deathly missiles were sent on their errands
of destruction: one Indian was killed; 12
desperately wounded; the squaws yelled
and screamed most horribly; the dead and
the wounded were carried off the field,
and the sun sunk down in the west with
the same non chalant look he gave when
the Old Guard fell back on the field OF

DISCOVERY OF MINERAL RICHES in
TURKEY.-A discovery has been made in
Turkey, in the course of the Railway sur
vey, which will probably increase the
Cars avidity for that fine country.
Messers. Leshy, the engineers of the con-
templated Railway, have returned to Con
stantinople, bringing with them large
quantities Of almost every kind of metali:
ferrous ore, namely-gold, silver, mercury,
copper, lead, ahtimony, arsenic and iron;
and also coal, alum, salt, saltpetre and
sulphur. 1t is calculated that the annual
produce of the fields may be 800, 1000, 900
The gold has been found near Adrianople,
in the plains formed by the early deposits
of litignite. The silver and lead mines
appear to be of most value, and of i'm
mense extent, particularly those of Mount
Pelion, where more than 900 different gal
cries have already been opened, showing
an amount of richness in mineral deposits
almost fabulous. The lead mines ot
Mount Pelion are only three or four miles
from the harbors ofZaora and Volo, and
have an abundance of water power and
fuel.

Chenp way to Cure Meat.

The Salt Lake people have cheap and
conveniet way of preserving meat, as one
of our exchanges says, experiments have
been made upon the properties OF the wa
ter of Salt Lake, Utah, for preserving
meat, by Mr.. Stausbury and his associ-
ates. A large piece of fresh beef was
suspended from cord and immersed in
the lake for over 12 hours, and it was
found to be tolerably well cured. After
this, all the meat they wished to be pre-
served was packed into barrels without
any salt whatever, and the vessel was
then filled with lake water. No further
care or preparation was necessary, and
the meat remained perfectly sweet, al
though constantly exposed to the atmos-
phere and sun. They were obliged to
mix fresh water with the brine to prevent
the meat becoming too salt for present
use"
