Correspondence of the Pioneer.
COLUMBUS, Feb. l1th, 1854.

Friend Giles:--Sir: During the past
week there has been little of most eve
Try going on in this city to make time pass
off pleasantly. We have had "Uncle
Toms Cabin" in the shape of Theatri=
cal performance exhibited in the City
Hall every night during the week, and to
crowded audience; and must say it is
the richest and most affecting scene ever
witnessed at a Theatre, and the only one
that ever thought had much merit about
it; and must say there are but few think.
ing men and women who can sit and see
the performance through without loosing
control of themselves and also a good
share of loose water about their eyes,
We have also had other Theatres in oper-
alton Of less Importance. We have had
lectures of various kinds. The Hon.
Horace Greeley was here, and lectured
one evening upon all the "isms," that
now exist among the American people,
and l am told it was a very interesting
lecture. In the law making business
there has been considerable business
done, among which was the Perry county
contested election case, in which Mr..
Nunemaker contests the seat of Mr..
O'neal (the present sitting member. The
committee on privileges and elections
made report in substance thatthcre were
great frauds perpctrated at the ballot box
in said Perry county at the last election
So much SO that by the Poll Books, of
Nunemaker, it is hard for any one to say
who received a legal majority Of the votes
cast, and recommend that the matter be
referred back to Perry county, for new
election. Mr. Oneal then moved that
all the testimony which was taken after
the 80 days had expired from the day of
the election, be ruled out, as irrelevant, IL
legal and improper, which motion was
voted down. Mr.. O'neal, then moved for
a commission to issue with time to 90 to
Perry county and take testimony, which
motion was voted down. He then moved
hat the Report be recommitted to the
committee on elections with power to

which took two days, after which the mo-
ion was voted down. Then the report
md testimony was ordered to be printed,

Iouse have fixed to try, hear and deter
nine the case. The contestor has the
opening speech, by himself or counsel
Then Mr.. O'neal can reply by himself or
after which the contestor may
ejoin, after which they, with their coun-
el leave the Hall for the House to delib
rate.
We have about l2o bills of various
'lnds before the House and a great many
more to be introduced and our most i'm

SANDUsKY MIRRoR.-We are nhw re-
ceiving the Daily Sandusky Mirror, and
in the hands of its present conductors, it
certainly cannot fail to give general sat
isfaction. Col. Joseph Cable and F. Ca
bic, his son, have already won wide repu-
tation as journalists, and the Mirror, while
in their hands will be one of the best dailies
in the country. We hope friend Gable,
will be justly and meritoriously rewarded.

Appointments. !.

The Saldusky Mirror in speaking Q
an article in, the Norwalk Experiment, il
relation to the appointment of Rainey t.
Office says:
"The dismissal part of the above arti
Gle will be gratifying to Tile Pioneer a
well as others, who despise getting beings
appointed to public stations of responsi
bility, merely to get them away from an
noying the community in which they may
have been located.
Bros Giles of the Pioneer and Gill oi
the Potrct came down upon the democrat
ic members of Congress and the President
with heavy hand for the appointment Of
this Rainey. But they had not the news
of his removal. We had no fault to find
with Bros. Giles and Gill in this matter -
But directly following the castigation OF
our members of Congress, in the same
column of the Pioater is a sort of euloois-
tic notice of Gov. Stevens of Washington
Territory. The points given by the Pio-
neer as characteristic of Ranney, are most
aptly applicable to Gov Stevens, who was
such bore and annoyance to his friends
and acquaintance that they procured bis
appointment to get rid of him. There
fore, if any of the Pioneers get to where
Stevens is known, especially to that new
country where he win disgrace the Ad-
rninistration, they will wonder at you Bro
Giles. Gov. Stevens may have some men
of sense along with him who will do for
himwell enough, and this is the only hope"
Nowif Gov Stevens is as described by
the 4Nirror, then the more justifiable our
remarks in relation to appointments, We
are down upon all appointments that are
not strictly Democratic, as when Wings
get the power we expect them to use that
power to the promotion of their own par
ty and men.
II We have said anything complimenta
ry of any man not justly entitled to it we
take it all back.
Gov. BigIer.---The Erie Difficulty Over.
The Cleveland Pla ntleolr, of Tues
day, says that Gov. Bgler had been re-
Gently in that city, and was called upon by
most Of the leading citizens, and all the
honors paid him due to himself as an in
diyidual, and to his position as the Chief
Exeentive of great State. 1t adds:
The greetings exchanged were such as
belongs to citizens of sister and neigh t
boring State, and we hope it is the com
mencement Of an era of good feeling,
such as has always existed between Ohio
and Pennsylvania until the late unfortu- /
nate difficulties at Erie.
Gov. Medill was, also, by accident pres
ent, and it was pleasant to see the Gov
ernors of the two Empire States shaking
hands as though nothing had happened to
interrupt the ancient good feeling.
We understand the passenger trains on
the Lake Shore road will now, by an ami
cable arrangement, go through on the mar
row gauge, with but a single change at Erie,
and that only from one side of platform
to another, not affecting the time Of the
running Of the road at all. We congrat-
ulate the road, the city of Cleveland, and
the whole country, upon the returned of
peace, and the prospec. that the "War of
Guages"is over.

Intrigues of Russia i'm Asia.

The Tile Gazette de Spencer, an English
paper, has the following article in refer
ence to the Russian intrigues in Asia:
Intelligence of great importance for
the world in general and for England in
particular, informs us that Russia is ma
king gigantic preparations, under the pre-
text of chastising the Khan of Khiva,
butin reality with a higher aim.
For fifteen years Russia has been occu-
pied in organizing the Mongolia and the
Kirghese: she has furnished them with
men, money and officer, and has had
them instructed in the use of arms and
the art of war. At any moment, at sig
nal from the Czar 10000 horse from the
hordes of the Kirghese, encamped be-
tween the Caspian Sea and Mount Altai,
could enter upon a campaign, if Russia
should induce Persia and Caboul to de-
clare war against England, to unite their
forces with hers, and with those Of the
Mongols, at the same time offering the
hand of the independent powers of India
on the other side of the Ganges In such
war with England who can tell what
will become of Hindostan, or what modi-
fcation the English rule in India might
undergo? The epoch of Zingis Khan
might return, and Asia pass once more
under Mongolan sway.
When one reflects on the constantly in
creasing misery of the Indians, bent down
under the yoke of greedy merchants, it is
with feeling that their lot could not be-
come more wretched under the iron scep-
tire of the Mongols. But, however that
may be, England has reason to dread the
attempts Of Russia; for if the deserts and
mountains which divide the Russian En-
pire from Asia be impenetrable by Euro
pean armies, they are not so by hordes in
ured to the fatigues of war. The day is
not perhaps, distant when Russia and
England, the two most powerful empires
of the world, may be eagaged in hostili
ties, and war break out upon every point
of theirenormous possessions England
is less informed sthan any other power Of
the projects and preparations of Russia;
and the aid which she affords to the Tur-
kish army in the rans-Caucassian pro-
vinces has no other object butraise against
the Russian Empire the Tartar hordes of
the Caucasus and the Caspians, and, by
paralysing the Russian influence over the
Mongols, the Persians, and the Kirhese,
to render abortive the projects against the
Indian possessions of Great Britain.
