DR.. s. Water Apology.

The last Mt. Pleasant Observer contains an
apology from DIR. Waters for resigning his
position as Whig candidate for Secretary
jof State. lie says he did it to give his
Friends an opportunity of showing that the
Nebraska and Prohibitory Liquor Law
questions alone were to call forth their
votes-excluding all peculiar principles,
Nand that because the Wings had endorsed q
sprohibitory Law, and declared hostility to
the Nebraska bill, they were willing on
Ithese grounds to support the Whig candi-
dates. With these views he resigned, and
recommended the Freesoilers to assemble
in Conv sntion and pass resolutions express
ing their position on the Nebraska bill and
prohibitory law, and resolving to vote FIR
tho Whig candidates as the most likely
method of calling out into successful opera
ton the whole strength Of Iowa upon these
very important questions.
That's all plain, common sense-no ap.
pcarance Of Jalition about that.

Freesoil votes for Wing candidates. Won.

Office, If he would take the tfouble to stand
at the polls for the purpose Of preventing
any Frecsoil friend, who might wish to vote
for him? Guess he would not take the
trouble, or thank aify one else for doing so.
I The Wing party is right on the Nebraska
and Pr1hlbitory Law questions, anil if the
Nreesoil,rs or anv bodv else eoioyinv the

A Sanctum in Nebraska.

The Omaha Arrow is the name of paper
just started in Omaha, Nebraska. The editor
thus describes his sanctum:
Last night We slept in our sanctum-the
starry-decked heavens for ceiling, and our
mother earth for flooring. Itwas a glorious
night, and We were tired from our days ex-
ertlons. Far away, on different portions of
the prairie, glimmercd the camp fires of our
neighbors, the pawnees, Omahas, or that mob
lie and too often unappreciated class of our
people, known as pioneers or squattcrs. We
gathered around our Ii tile campfire talked of
times in the past, of the pleasing present,
and the glorious future which the march of
civilization should open in the land whereon
We sat The new moon was just sinking be-
hind the western prairie roll, but slightly dis
pelling the darkness which crept over our low
ed and cherished Nebraska land We tbougt
Of distant friends and loxedones who stretch
cd upon beds of dOwny ease, little apprcciat-
ed the unalloyed pleasure, the heaven blessed
comfort that dwelt with us in this far-off land
No busy hum of the bustling world served to
distract our thoughts Behind us was spread
our buffalo robe in an old Indian trail, which
was to serve as our bed and bedding The cool
night wind swept in cooling breezes around
US, deep laden with the perfume of thousand
hued and varied flowers. Far away upon our
lea came the occasional long drawn howl of the
prairie wolves.
Talk of comfort. there was more of it in one
hour of our sanctum camp life and of came
life generally upon Nebraska SOIL than in a
whole life of fashionable, pampcred world in
the settlement; and individually, We would
not have exchanged our sanctum for any O

of its neatness and beauty of artful adorn

Riots in New Orleans Military Ordered Out

New ORLEANS, September 13.-Our city
has been the scene of so,Ie terrible riots be-
tween the Americans and Irish, In which sew
eral lives were lost and many badly injured.
There are many rumors and exaggerated re-
ports III circulation III regard 10 the cause of
IL. From the best information | can obtain,
l learn that the first outbreak occurred on
Sunday evening, growing out Of a political
discussion between party of Anne leans and
Irish. y savage fight ensued, in which fire.
arms and clubs were freely used. 4 number
of the participants in the riot were badly
wounded before it could be quelled by the
police. On the following day one of the
wounded died, and much excitement followed
in consequence.
The excitement continued on the increase
throughout Monday, and as soon as night set
in the riot was renewed with still greater yio-
lencc-each party apparently prepared for it.
The news spread rapidly through the city,
and 1t was reported that severrl had been
killed, but this report fortunately proved to
be premature. Pistols and guns were fired
into the crowds, and many of the rioters rc-
ccived serious injuries, The police again sue
ceedcd in making several arrests and restoring
order
The rioters again assembled on Tuesday
evening, when the Zle was renewed with
redoubled ferocity Two of the rioters were
killed on the ground, and quite a number
were carried off, some of them shochingly
wounded. The riotous fever continued to
increase during Monday, when the Mayor
ordered out the National Guard and the entire
police force. This had the effect of intimi-
dating the rioters, and up to the time of send
ing this despatch, no further outbreak had
taken place. The military, however, are still
held under arms, to be ready in the event of
. renewal of the disgraceful disturbances
