A New VERSION OF THE BiBIE.-This sub
ject observes the Baltimore American, has OF
late attracted considerable attention in the re-
lgious world, the result of which has been to
awaken more thoroughly. the public mind, to the
alledged necessity for new version of the Bible.
The fact is announced by learned committee
of the American Bible Society, that the received
version of the Bible published by King James
contains errors no less than tarenty. four hons-
and in number. Some of these errors have af-
forded material for many Of the most plausible
arguments against the divine authenticity Of the
old and new testaments. This is illustrated in
report made to the American Bible Union. by a
reference to Votare's Commentary upon Prov
cribs. D, 81. when the wine giveth its color 10
the glass" From the fact that drinking glasses
were of late invention. Noltaire concluded that
the book of Proverbs first the light in Alex
andria, and was composed at period long sub
sequent TO that in which Christians have placed
its origin. But it is alleged that the term in the
Hebrew, signifies cup. without denoting the
material of which it is composed so that
rect translation, If the latter Interpretation be
correct, removes a, once the foundation for this
in6del argument.

The New York Herald conjectu the follow
ing to be the real platform of the administration
upon the Nebaska question:

question since the late elections. Is II "squatter

south of 81 3O!-ths view of the su bject agrees
with the Scarlet Letter; but the Cab met organ is
silent upon it. As far figure it out
the platform of the President and Cabinet at
Washington on the Nebraska bill is that of the
soft shell Syracuse Conventon--to wit, that the
bill was unwise ,uncued for aud inea pedient, and
yet proper and sautary measure; monstrous
outrage, but great act of public jus ,tice. This
covers both sides of the line, and ma be con-
sidered the national platform of tho admnstra-
ton, till otherwise ordered.

EXPEDITION AGAINST THE lNpIANS.--An expe-
dition it is said, is TO be organized during the
suing winter the object of which is to wage
of exermination against the Sioux Indians, and
other hostile tribes who have been engaged IN the
late outragcs ON the plains. This force is to be
concentrated upon jefferson barracks early in the
spring, SO that active operations may commence
without delay, as the weather wall per
nit. The force will consist of the Second rcgi-
ment of infantry. three companies oi the Second
Dragons and one section of the light battery
stationed at Baton Rouge--the whole under com
mand of Col Sumner. This force will also be
Joined by all the men " no can be spared from the
garrisons of the forts which scattered through
that region, and there is probability that at least
two companies of mounted volunteers, composed
of frontier men, will be added to the command.
After they have accomplished their duties in that
region, they will turn their attention to the Ca
manches, and will act in cooperation with the
forces now stationed upon the frontier of Texas
The object of this movement it is said Is not
merely that of reducing the Indians to an observ-
of the stpulations of former treaties, but to
exlcrminate all the warriors of tribes who have
hitherto annoyed the emigrants, and to reduce
the residue To complete obedience to the laws of
the United States. We can hardly believe, how
ever, that the United States will carry these hos
tilties father than may be absolutely necessary
to restrain the Indians from farther outrages.

EXCITEMENT AT POLITICAL MEETING
Cass delivered political speech to about l,5OO
persons at Chicago, on the goth instant. He
was listened to with great attention, but after he
sat down called for three groans fer
Judge Douglas. who was also on the stand
The call was Kissed down, but cheers were Civ

"At this iuncture considerable confusion pre-
vai'ed, when some one called for speech from
Frederick Douglass, (black mani who was in the
room twas caught up and responded to, APP
parently, by five hundred persons. The effect
exciting if bomb shell had been
thrown into the room Col. Snowhook rushed
upon the stand and brandished his fist at the
crowd, while Col. Hamilton declared, in the most
emphatic manner, that if Douglass came to the
stand he would have him sent to the watch
house. Such an uproar rs followed we have
seldom Witnessed. 1t seemed if pandemonium
had broken loose, and the threats of the Nebras-
katies only made the matter Frederick
Douglass had the good sense to retire, during the
confusion, but the crowd did not know it. The
meeting was dispersed by some one turning off

IMPORTANT DECISION WITH REGARD TO
TRAvEI.-lt will be racocotcd that the charter
of the Boston and Lowell Railroad Corporation
contains provision designed to secure to that
road for certain period of years not yet expi
red, the whole OF the through traffic in freight
and passengers between Boston and Lowell :; but
that within IA few years pasta new route" has
been established, by which cars are run through
from Boston to Lowell over the Boston and Maine

judicial Court has decided that the charter of the
Boston and Lowell Corporation is intringed by
the sale of through tickets and the running Of
through cars, whether for freight or passengers,
by other companies under an agreement to divide
the profits, The opinion of the Court is one of
