Startling RumOrS.

Rumors are rife in this city of an in
easion of Bremen county by the Sioux
Indians. A body of them, some 1900
strong, are represented to have taken
possession of sha, region, claiming it as
their own, and evincing a determination
to make their claim good by forcible &C.
cupa,ion.
Our Superintendent OF Public Instruc.
ton, DR.. Eats, and a company of about
thirty others, were in that vicinity at the
last accounts, and a~pprehensions are felt
that they may be taken capsives.
Auditor Pa,,ee, who left town last
week with his daughter. for his home in
Bremen, has sent the young lady back
and gone on 10 ascertain the true state OF
affairs. and, if necessary, save his prop.
erty from the hands OF marauders.
Protective measures will probably be
taken Immediately by Gov. Hampstead,
who is fortunately no, far from the scene
of excitement.
1t is probable that many of the reports
tina, reach US are highly exaggerated

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.


AT the Eleventh Annual Session OF
The National Division of Sons OF lem
perance for North America, convened in
the city of ST. Johns. New Brunswick,
on the l7ih of June last, the following
proceedings were had:
The committee appointed at the Tenth
Annual Session TO prepare three degrees,
to be submitted to the National Division
at this Session, for approval or rejection
reported tina, they had prepared a De
gree Ritual, which had been adopted by
the Grand Division of Maryland, ia &C
cordance with permission given tina
body. and which they were prepared ,c
submit 10 the examination Of !he Ma
lional Division.
The National Division then proceeded
to examine the Degree work, which, ir
The course of the session was amended
both by striking out and adding; bu, wa:
finally adopted pretty much as the com
mittee reported them.
On motion to adopt, the National Di
vision agreed. out lief! i,op,ional with the
several Grand Divisions to adopt Degree:
for themselves or not, as may seem bes
in their several localities.
The Committee on Constitutions re
ported ia favor of such an alteration o
the constitution for Sub. Divisions, as
will enable Divisions to take a w. p,
from the floor without passing through
the W AS chair. provided he has serv'
ed two terms in other offices.
The Committee on Constitutions re
ported in favor Of such an amendment
of the Constitution of Sub. Divisions,
as will enable boys over l6 years of age
to become members of the order, provi.
ded, however, that they shall not be en-
titled TO vote, hold office, moi take either
of the Degrees until they shall have ar
rived at the age of ls.
The Committee on Ritual reported a
set of Rules for the protection of the
Degrees, and providing penalties for the
violation of the same.
The Comm ttee on Constitutions who
were especially instructed 10 report a
plan for the admission of Females as
visitors, or as full members, and to whom
were referred the resolutions Of the Grand
Divisions of Pennsylvania and Georgia,
reported the following as adopted:
/. That any Subordinate Division
may, by a two-shirds vote, determine TO
admit Females over l6 years Of age, as
visitors, at such times as may be deemed
appropriate, on their being proposed, re-
porled by a Committee, and balloled for
under The rule observed for the admis-
sion of members; and that a form for
,hei: introduction, together with the law
on the subject be furnished on cards by
the National Division.
2. That visitors shall not be entitled
to vote, or participate in the deliberations
of the Order.
3. That any Bylaw which shall de.
iermine The question:, &C., as to the ad.
mission of visitors generally. or any one
in particular, may for satisfactory rea-
sons be suspended.
So the Sons are to have a new organi.
cation, and the ladies are allowed to visit
them on appropriate occasions. This
will lend a new zeal 10 the members of
the order, and place i. on a more sure
foundation.

Seward on the Union.

The following is from Senator Sew
ards closing speech on the Nebraska
bill:
Monumental interests bind the slave
and free States together in links of gold
that are r.veled with iron, and they can.
no, be broken by passion or ambition.-
Either party will submit. TO The ascend
ancy of The other rather than yield The
commercial advantages of This Union-a
common necessity, and not merely a
common necessity, but the common in
terests of the empire, of such an empire
as the world has never seen. The con.
troll OF This national power is the control
of the great Western Contine ut, and the
control of this continen, is to be in a few
years the controlling influence of the
world. Who is there North that hates
slavery SO much, or who Soulh thai
hates emancipation SO intensely, that he
can attempt with any hope of success to
break a Union thus forged and welded
together? | have always heard with,
equal pity and disgust, threats of disunion
IN the free States, and similar threats 10
the slavsholding States. l know that
men will rave in The hes, of passion and
under great political excitement; but l
know when i, comes to a question wheth
er This Union shall stand either with free.

it, and it will stand until some inheren,
vice in the constitution no. yet disclosed
shall cause it's dissolution"

BlaCkguardiSm.

The following beautiful specimen Of
blackguardism is from the Bloomfield
Gazette, a Locofoco paper:
"As from Mr.. Clarke, we consider
him a low. vulgar, ignoran, Yankee, and
much better judge Of wool than he Is
acquainted with the duties Of a Con
gresham"
And the Keosauqua Union, that pink
of perfection in Democracy, parades this
paragraph with apparently great salts
faction. Whether its readers will ap.
p~reciate the editors taste remains Ia be
seen. But we are inclined to think they
will not. When papers resort TO such
low Billipgsgale, it is a sure sign that
they have a poor and hopeless cause to
defend.
Mr.. Clark addressed the citizens OF
this place, and SO far from being judged
as "a low, vulgar, ignorant Yankee" was
deemed a gentleman of talent, and d
good speaker; so much SO, indeed. that
some Of the stronges. Democrats in the
county will vote for him. And such low,
vulgar abuse as the above against MI.
Clark will make votes for him wherever
he goes.
