" eOA 1NC"Se
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San writes as follows:
The bill establishing the territorial gov
ernment of Nebraska was passed by the
House at the late session, and, at the pres
ent session, is to be subject of more than
ordinary contention. The Senate Com
mittee on Territories have it under con-
sideration, and will probably report in fa-
vor of the organization of more than one
territorial government. A plan has been
proposed also for avoiding the opposition
to the bill which has been threatened by
Mr.. Atchison, in his addresses to the peo-
pie of Missouri. Some means will be
adopted for the prevention of the threa-
tened revival of the slavery question on
this BILL
The news of the destruction ofthe Turk
ish fleet in the Black Sea produced pro-
found sensation here. The feeling ap-
pears to be that general war in Europe
can not be averted.
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty will be
made the subject of an interesting debate
in the Senate, in which Gen. Cass and Mr.
Clayton will largely participate. Those
who expect hostile rencounter between
hesed istinguished statesmen, however,
will be sadly disappointed. The new pre-
tensions set up by England in regard tc
the Bay of Islands, because these islands,
according to her understanding of the
case, do not belong to Central America,
are equally denied by Gen. Cass and Mr.
Clayton; and there is nothing in the Clay.
ton -Bulwer treaty to justify them. Mr.
Clayton cannot be held responsible for any
act of England contrary to the stipulation
of his treaty, nor can Mr.. Clayton be op.
posed to Gen. Cass for exposing the arbi
trary conduct of Great Britain in the
premises.
If the Bay of Islands constitutes nc
part of Central America, the title to those
islands must be deprived either by con
quest or cession from Spain. But it ap
pears that Spain never parted with them
and that as late as 1888 those islands
which We're seized upon during a war
were expressly receded to Spain, ant
named in the treaty of peace. England
thus far, has not shadow of title tt
show, and there is but little doubt that sht
will rather abandon them than hold then
under the protest of our government.
There is no doubt but that the admins
tration are determinedto uphold the Mon
roe doctrine, and that both houses of Con
gress will heartily cooperate to bring
about this eminently national result. A
the same time our government will abstain
from all interference or Intervention in tn,
affairs of Central America, suffering thos,
States to manage their own affairs as bes
they can. What the administration wants
and what, at the same time, they seem tt
be satisfied with, is the exclusion from
Central America of all European infu
erIcc. -.

Columbus Correspondence to the Pionee

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 81, 1858.
FRIEND GILEs:-I will at late hour Jot
down a few things for your kind readers or
in other words for those who read the Pio-
neer. This evening at half past Z, the
democratic members for the House of
Representatives metin convention and Sc
lected their candidates for officers, as fol-
lows: for Speaker Francis LeBlond of Mer-
Ger, for Clerk George w. Johns of Lick
ing, 1st assistant Clerk John w. Kees of
Montgomery, Cd asst. A. Hart of Colum-
biana, for Sergeant at Arms Benjamin
Robinson of Cincinnati, asst. James Gull
bertson of Perry, Cd asst. Curtis Berry OF
your place, he receiving 35votes out of 65
There was great harmony and good feel
ing in all of the deliberations of the meet
ing. The Senate also held meeting to
select candidates for officers to be suppor-
ted in organizing the Senate. On Monday
Charles B. Flood was nominated for Clerk.
There has been some grave charges made
against Mr.. Flood by the Journal and 9TH
ers of Golphinism, but upon investigation
have proved to be false, which were trump
ed up for the purpose of injuring him and
the democratic party. For 1st asst. Clerk
A. D. Wright of Perrysburg, for Cd asst.
Mr.. Williams of Monroe county, and for
Sergeant at Arms Welch of Columbiana
county, 1stasst. Stevens ofHamilton cou
ty, Cd asst. Smith of Adams.
The members are all on hand ready to
commence business next Monday, and they
are as good looking set of men as I have
seen for many a day. The weather here
is cold and sleighing good, and theidle and
fashionable of Columbus are making good
use of it, II.

Chambers View of the u. States.


The venerable publisher and author,
William Chambers, Esq, who has recent
ly made brief tour in the Northern and
Eastern States, has, on the eve of his re-
turn to Europe, published letter, in
which he says:
81 leave the United States with much
regret. carry with me the conviction
that great and splendid future is before
them. Contrary to the opinion of most
travellers from England, [ see here a young
but rapidly growing nation offering an ex-
ample to the oldest communities in Eu-
rope. It is far from my wish to flatter:
but what do I not feel vast delight in see
ing? I am overcome with the stupen-
dous proportions and capacity of the
country-its far-stretching fields for hu-
man subsistence and happiness. Of the
American people, SO little understood and
often misrepresented, candidly own that
their remarkable love of order, their en-.
ergy and perseverance, their love of in
dependence, their self-respect of even the
humblest classes among them, then
sobriety, their admirable educational svs-
TENS, their many excellent libraries and
universal fondness for reading; their press
free from fiscal exactions their flou,
ishIng religious institutions, untampered
by civil polity; their economically and
spiritedly-got-up railways, now pushed
half way to the Pacific; the neatness ot
their dwellings; their wonderful, and to an
Englishman alarming, progress in the me-
chanical arts; the marvellous growth OF
their cities, and, will add, their ciyility
to strangers-I say all this gives me un-
qualified pleasure. And when I contrast
their cities, free from pauperism and vice
in its most loathsome forms, with what
meets the eyein London Edinburgh, Glas-
gov, and other large cities in Britain, [
feel that travellers from the old country
have really little reason to speak disdain-
fully of America, or to exaggerate faults
which at most are only partial and of no
sort of account
''Such being my impressions, it will be
my duty to represent, in my own poor
way at home, things as they deserve to be
spoken Of Nor shall I fail to speak of
the advantages to be derived by an emf
grafton of the laboring classes generally
to this country fleeing, as they will do.
from a perishing and unimprovable con-
dition to state of comfort and boundless
prospects of well-doing.''

SECRET DIPLoMACy.---We must put an
end to this dishonest, nonsensical trlfilnS
if it really be not something worse. For
eign affairs must henceforth be the do
main of all, and be exposed in great de-
gree to Parliament and the public view
There is no magic in diplomacy that it
must be made mystery of, like the wor~
ship of the Bona Dea. Henceforth, IN
stead of appointing dandies and noodles
to carry on negotions, we should appoint,
as do the American and some of the Con-
tinentnl nations, men who have distin-
guish themselves as lawyers or scholars,
or sapants or as great merchants.---Br'tlsh

WHISKY STopPED.-A friend informs
us that one of the distilleries, about ten
miles from this place was burnt up, and
that two gentlemen of Marion county
have purchased the right of the other dis
stillery, so that in future no more liquor
will be made at it. Both of these distil-
leries were in Marion county. This will
stop the manufacture Of very large
amount of bad whisky.

SO, however, till the meeting numbered
several thousand armed men, who seem

force.

POPULATION OF THE UTAH TERRITORY.
From the minutes of the Mormons Gen
eral Conference, which was held in Great
Salt Lake City, on the 9th of October last
we learn the entire population of Utah
Territory numbers 1926, being an in
crease of 6,85I since the census of 1850
The population is thus divided Saints,

Pacific Railroad-southern Route.

Pacific RaiIroad-SouthernR Route.
Apublic dinnerwas given to Gen. Rusk,
United States Senator, at Austin, Texas,
on the 5th ultimo, which was largely at
tended by members of the Legislature and
prominent citizens from all parts of the
State
Gen. Rusk took the opportunity to give
his opinions at large on the subject of the
Pacific Railroad, and develop freely his
opinions upon the practicability and mode
of building it through Texas, which he en-
larged upon as the most eligible line of
route.
The train of his argument is to show
that the line near the southern portion OF
the United States terminating in San Diego
is, in every military point of view, the best
for national defense. 1t would, moreover,
create the necessity and the means for con-
Meeting San Diego with San Francisco by
coast road, thus creating line of de-
fenses better than larger armies and fleets,
by bringing the available forces of the U.
States withinten days 70 any exposed point
along the immense frontier.
AS to the line within Texas, Mr.. Rush
advises that as few specific points as pos
sible should be named until the gencal
scheme is sufficiently or ganized, The
general idea he supports is, that it should
not be begun further north than Fulton,
on Red River; and that it should be car
ried as nearly as possible along the line Of
the thirty second degree of north latitude,
upon which he vouches, from personal
knowledge of eight hundred miles of the
route, that there is plenty of wood and
water. The land is generally well timber
ed, and Gen. Rusk says the most fertile he
ever saw in his life.
Gen. Rusk suggests that the State
should grant 90 sections of land to the
mile to a Company constructing for the
building of the road, with authority to
connect with other routes, not designating
any particular starting point on the ca st,
but stipulating that it should begin north
of particular point, but might commence
any where south of it in the State.
He proposes that the company should
be required to deposit 100000 in the
treasury of the State, to be forfeited in case
a certain length of road is not finished
within year, & forfeiture Of the charter
and the road finished; and the State might
require reletting; to another company if a
certain length of the road should not be
finished yearly until the whole was COM
pleted These terms, he thinks, would
not be onerous to bonat tfde contractors who
have the means and intend in good faith
to build the road, and not make a specula-
ton by the sale of privileges.
The amount of public land in Texas is
2,747, 900 acres, and the appropriation
he recommends would require 10, 24O, 900
acres. He considers that the gain in the
increased value of the reserved lands would
repay Immediately many times over the
value of the land granted. He thinks the
aid of Congress can be depended upon, we
suppose by grants of land in aid of those
portions of the road which lie beyond the
State of Texas. The United States have
no land in Texas.
Gen. Rusk presses the subject upon the
action of the Legislature of Texas, which
is now in session.

WELL SAID.-The following remarks
taken from the Seneca Adge1iser, cores
pond with our views in relation to the ac-
tons of our Legislature. The Advertiser
says: aa r
"There is general desire expressed
among our exchanges, that the next ses-
sion may be a short one. In this desire
we heartily join, but at the same time we
do not desire to see short session at the
expense of the maturity of legislation -
While it is desirable and important that
the session should be short, it is much
more important that the laws enacted
should be carefully and thoroughly con-
sidered. Half-fnished legislation will be
much more odious to the people than even
a long session. Without spending weeks
in useless and undignifed quarreling, we
think our Legislators should be able to
transact the public business in three
months and come home. Let them aim
to accomplish their work within this reas-
enable time, and they will receive the need
of "well done" from their constituents.

TIE P1oNEER--What our paper does
abroad for the reputation of our town. 1t
is said, why, you must have quite a town,
for the Upper Sandusky paper is one Of
the best and incest papers I see." This
has been said to some of our subscribers
who have been visiting, You seethen the
paper has great deal to do in forming an
opinion of our town abroad, and yet many
of our own citizens take but little interest
in the paper.

OUR PAPER.-Read what other papers
say Of US, and then come up and subscribe
or the Pioneer. The Ohio Patriot says:
"Our friend GILES, the able Editor Of
the Wyandot Pioneer, has been in town
during the past week, on visit to his pa
rents, who reside at this place. Brother
GILES gets up one of the best County pa
Pers IN the State and we are pleased to
learn that the unterrifcd of 'little Wyan
dot" properly appreciate his labors.''
Were we to publish our paper in Buoy
rus, Columbus or some other place, oul
circulation in this countywould be much
larger. But what would our citizens say
when stranger would come to town and
SIX, "where is your printing office here?''
Would it not sound well to say, Gin Buoy
rus?" Let this matter be brought home
awhile and we will see the advantage Of
having Upper sandusky printing offices in
other towns

all departed and leftu with little aside from
mud and water to sleigh upon. We care
but little about this SO far as we are per-

peare to enjoy sleighing so very much.
But after all, won't this thaw be a God
