DOugIass at Home.

On Friday the lst inst, Senator Douglas
attempted to deliver an address to the citizens
of Chicago, his own city, in vindication Of
himself on, the Nebraska Bill; but his reception
wasnot Of that character that an esteemed citizen
should have received, which clearly demonstra-
tes the fact that they would hear him on that
subject at more convenient season.
The flags of all the shipping in the harbor
were displayed at half-mast at noon, and con-
tinued TO wave thus all the afternoon
AT quarter past six, the bells of the city
began to toll, and for more than an hour pealed
forth their mourning wall over a free State dis
honered and free city sought to be disgraCed
by Senator and citizen !
A platform was erected for the OCCASION at
North Market Hall, where the "Little Giant"
with few of his friends, repaired, properly
guarded, He was received, by the audience,
in silence. The crowd. membering 20 some
thousands, were in readiness to hear him The
Tribune says:
"He commenced by saying that he wished to eluc-
date the principles of the Nebraska Bill. He was satsf
derstOod that Bill Three hearty and indsputab!e
groans here greeted the orator. The Bill had never
been published In any Of our city papers. AT this
most ridiculous and uufouhded satement the audience
cOnvulsed with laughter and groans Il had how
been published that morning in one OF our city
papers (hs own organ, )and there II might be read.
Here the audience became ungovernable, and cries Of
ell descriptions rent the air. aNCb6dy reads that pc.
per- sit would be of no use II they did,, Douglas
thinks no one but himself knows anything
subsidized for few moments, only TO break out again
at some fresh insult"
He proceeded with his speech at some length
yidicating his course in the Nebraska Swindle
which was received with most terrific grOsni
aud Kisses. Douglas became transported with
rage--He denounced the assembly as mob
all of which brought forth increased groanI
aud Kisses from the crowd. After several at
tempts to deliver himself of bis speech, he hat
finally to give it up. and leave the stand to th'
mob, as be called it. He left, secured by hi
body guard, amid The shouts aud groaus o
the multitude. Thus closed the vindicatioa Q

No violence seemed to be intended on par
ofthe crowd, but the voice of the free was mad
10 ring in the ears Of the Traitor. During hi
entire speech this disposition was plainly man
ifested, for gloaHs followed the utterapOe Q
every prOslavery sentiment; Kisses. every in

in one indignant cry, as deeeiver and traitor

The village Of Bidwel. the county seat Of
Butte county, one Of the little Ham.ets Of the
mountains which sprung into existen through
tue enterprise Of the miners, was swept of bY
fire on the End Of August, and upwards Of one
hundred thousand dollars worth Of property
was consumed. But the same enterprise that
established the town will soon rebuild il, and
few months will wipe out all remembrances Of
the confagration. ...r
About an hour previous to the sailing Of the
COrtez, an English clipper ship. North Fleet,
arrived at San Francisco from China, in 4S
days, bringing intelligence Of the surrounding
of Canton by the rebels, and stating that the
foreign residents had all left the city.
The San Francisco correspondent states that
the markets continue depressed, most staples
declining. The stock of mercandize is kept
full by constant arrivals. The demand from the
country is slight, The spirit of speculation isnOt
active.
The treaty will soon be concluded between
the American Commissioner, and the Govern
ment of the Sandwich Islands, for annexation
The treaty was dispatc he'd by mail from San
Francisco, on the 10th. All members of the
Kings Council were in favor Enumeration ex

of the treaty. Details of the treaty have not

Lieut.. Beckwith, of the overland surveying
party. had arrived at Sacramento. They have
examined FIVE passes north of Mobiles pass
and pronounce all impractiCable for mail routes
except Mobiles and one next north.
All hopes Of an arrangement between the
wings of the Democratic party of California
have been abandoned, and there is little doub
but that the Wings will carry the State, but it
is thought the Know NOthings hold the balance
of power, being represented strongly in all
the chief towns.

The Administration, during the progress Of
the last Session Of Congress, framed plan for
the organization of,three new Territories, South
of Kanzas, by the names Of Cheokee, Musco-
gee, and Chahta. This, no doubt, will oc-
cupy the attention of Congress next winter.-
These three territories will comprise the Indian
Countries belonging to the CherOkees, Greeks,
Chactaws and ChiCkasaws, The plan propo-
seG is, with the assent of the tribes named, to
extend over them the laws and constitution
Of The United States There is now an indi

that we will witness another territorial organi'

at the last session, for the organization, but it

Third AudItOrship. A

1t has been frequently asked BY those who
don't know, how 1t came that the President Of
these States, through his cabinet officers should
drop down upon an individual in so secluded a
place as Carrollton ?
in the first place, they don't know, that this
slavery extending Administration, had the
principles contained in the Douglas bill, under
consideration prior to the commencing of the
last session OF Congress; and that in view of
the fact, it became necessary for the Admins.
tratiop to have in the field for election in
Ohio and elsewhere in the year l85a--such
persons as would lend their influence and votes
in favor of slavery extension. In Robert /.
Atkinson they discovered one that could be

cohorts OGIhe Administration through their post

hooved them to act accordingly here aud.
denly the Senator from this district dropped

there were acires behind the curtains we could
not see. In due course of time Mr.. Pugh was
elected United States Senator, in full view O.
the fact, that Mr.. Pugh was an out and out Ne,

Things worked smoothly along, not however
without the Senator from this district being
strongly recommended to Washington, by tn,
leaders OF the LoCofocO party of this State fo
a certain prominent post that is now held by al
