-. ACCIDENTAL DETECTION OF AN ABOLITION
1sT-Under this heading, the Jackson, Mis-.
Mercury of the 10Th ult., has the following
statement:
A short time since Mr.. Smellee, who has
been teaching on Dry Creek, in Coviligten
county, for some two years past, was ELECTED
Principal of the Public Schools of this city,
Night before last letter was nsi.Ied {.
Mr.. Meek, the deputy postmaster, opened the
letter to ascertain to whom it belonged HI
was not acquainted with the writer, and in The
presence of others proceeded to read it to as
certain his whereabouts. 1t was from thi:
Smelee, who had been employed 10 instruc
our youth, addressed to friend at the North
and was found to contain the most infamou.
Abolition sentiments!
The writer called yesterday morning, as soor
as,apprised of his omission, and directed it.
At the suggestion of our energetic postmaster
the Mayor very promptly discharged Mr.fSmel
lee, and advised him forthwith to leave thi
section of country. He left on the Eastern
cars for Brandon yesterday evening. Muct
indignation was felt in our community whel
the matter was divulged.
We are told that Smellee is about thirtf
years old, tall, with black hair and whiskerf
of fair complexion, and modest demeanor, an
that he halls from Connecticut or New YorE
We deem it our duty to make this publication
and to ask our brethren Of the press to motif
it, that he may bewatched wherever he go
in the South. 6 - /

The 1PosIT1oN OF F.AUsTR1A. The postureof
affairs in Eastern Europe is without paraIiefn
its history. One ofthe parties to a treaty, !
which it is one of the covenants that an eI
croaching power that had invaded the territor
of another should be compelled to Withdraw
within its own limits, and that an armed tforct
should be employedto to enforce this stipulation
wlthoutactual war between parties thus brought
into this belligerent relation, is a most extraor
dinary chapter in this history. Austria engages
with Turkey to free her territory of ths-ihga:
der, who has encroached on her rights, contr!7
ry to express treaty, and yet Austria deeart
that on the part Of this invader there is nd caus
of war. Austria enters into obligations viii
the allies, to.preserve the integrity of tbs Otto
man territory and the independence of TurkeS
against what she admits to be acts in defance
of treaty, acts which are unprovoked Leading
to the rupture of the balance Of powet and vt
Russia, which has done all this, has furnished,
says Austria, no casus 6eNi. Whateyer may
be the conclusion of policy, there is lere ce,.
tainly no logical relation. The postur. of arm.
ed neutrality would be admissible il Anstrh
had not entered into treaty obligations, botn
with the Ottoman Porte and the Allie,, .whid !
lead by necessary inference toone df active
hostility. If there is no union of frees, 10
bring the common enemy to terms, hiw is tie
injury, which it is admitted has been.done, b
be redressed, by, community of effot, in ia fyy CO.
resPondence with common intentions, or tie
future wrong, which may impend, to be avoid
ed! Austria is substantially an ally With En-.
land and France, not only to preserve .he ind
OF Turkey, but to free the navigation
OF the Danube. and Black Sea. If shs should
participate in the benefits Of this maritime FREE.
dom, how can she, in justice and in the split
Of her treaty obligations, throw on France ard
England all the burdens of the war in tie
Crimea, while her armies remain inattive9-
We cannot comprehend the logic of this dipb.

GOOD CRops.-Tbe New York Herald some.

statements of the condition of the crops in. dif.
ierent States. of the Union. The result has
oeen That. the prospect Of plentiful year is
tar more favorable than has been generally
supposed. Indeed; we have long since ceased
to oplace=much confidence in the reports which.
arecirculated almost.every year ofa failure in
the'crops. The interest of the producer is cal.
eulated to induce him to misrepresent the facts
!, in order that the price of his produce may be
thereby proportionateIy increased. And even.
II there be an honest Intention to represent the
truth fairly, there is tendency on the part:ofj
every agriculturist to depricate,his crops when.
ever he has been partially disappointed. 49,. f.
The Herald announces that the ,wheatscran
in Upper Canada has been unprecedented, and
that the supplies for expectation to the United
States will be unusually large. From many
sources too, we learn that the grain crop in.
England has been immense. Large tracts of
country have yielded an average ofthirty bush.
els to the.acre, and in some cases the enormous
yield of sixty bushelsjhas been realized.

GOV. CUMMINGS LETTER.

We regret the necessity that leads us
to publish the shocking evidence Of cor
rupiion revealed in the following shame
less letter, written by the Governor Of this
Territory 10 his confidential friend GRAY.
The letter is a genuine production and can
be proved such, if its authenticity is de-
MED. We learn 10y the letter that Mr..
Gray is a member OF the " Combiaafion''
and one Of the " Pillars" upon which it
rests, and is 10 be q sharer in the spells.
We have reason TO suppose the Ohio branch
OF the Combination" is a large one, and
was pretty fully represented in the con-
test for office and spoils through which we
isa.~ &c., r a~t-1v,,5s dIs ,yrs6s-
nation intended 10 secure the election
of = delegate 10 Congress, The public prip-
ting, and the control Of the Legislature
The former has already been defeated and
II Ahe people Of Nebraska are true to them
selves and their friends, 6oth or the other
projects will Le defeated, as certainly as
he other has been. Anolher branch of
the nomination is found in Omaha
City.
This united with tde former make a
grand trio which intended TO make sure
work Of securing II CAPIToL, ruE Or
FIcEs \ Il sPoILs. But, thank God
a portion Of the scheme has been brouqh,
TO light by the appearance of this unex-
pected letter, a portion Of the scheme has
failed, and If the whole plo: is no. over
thrown il will be because the people of
Nebraska are not as true 10 their own in
terests as this audacious coordination
have been 10 theirs.
We take No pleasure in putting this let
ter on record. If 1t lay in our power 70
strike it cut Of existence, together with the
evidence Of corruption which il reveals,
we would not sleep Till il was done. II is
with shame thai we confess that the Ad-
minisiration thus far gives evidence Of
corruption which should and will alarm
every honest citizen.

it can hardly be REQUIRED to too often, or

Itisa matter upon which we congraiu-
lac the people Of this precint, that the
election at this place was conducted nth
SO much propriely on Tuesday last. Il
frequently happens that amid the fierce
contests of rival partizans, resort is had to
angry words and violence; but happily no
such exhibitions appeared to mar the har-
mony Of the occasion. 1t is worthy Of
remark, that no intoxicating liquor was
made use Of, and nothing occurred unwor-
