The intelligence by the Andes, SO far as
has come to hand, is exceedingly indefinite,
and consequently of but little interest to any
body beyond the mere fact of knowing what
j, is. The prospects still look very war!ike'

iation to take place without it, The Car
still remains firm, and il is conjectured that
he contemplates a decisive and crushing
movement early in the spring, an event to
which all his management has been directed
France and England are still making active
preparations, and W ill no doubt lend efficient
aid 10 the Sultan, when the emergency of his

will be SEEN, have declined triae, yet it is

attained. Money continues abundant It fair

1t cannot but be Il source cfpeasure to all
those who believe that tree Institutions de-
pend, for their eXis tence upon freedom OF
opinion, to observe that our fellow citizens OF
foreign extraction, and especially the Ger
mans, are beginning 10 estimate for them
selves the political event, OF the times, and
to refuse, merely at the command ofparty, to
be led TO the support of a wrong. Our tath-
ers, at the Revol ton, were forced 10 declare
and achieve their Independence, and we look
upon the event we are abDut To record as an
other Declaration OF independence, by those
who came later 10 the free soil of America
1t is evidence of that emancipation of spirit,
as well from the slavery of ideas which they
inherited, as from the chain OF party sought
to be thrown around them in the land of their
adoption, and We congratulate them upon it,
and bid them &C cd speed"
The Germans of this city have been looked
upon by party leaders, as composing the
stauncbest, blindest, and most easily man.
aged portion of their followers. Within the
last two years, however, the Germans have,
on several occasions, manifested strong
tendency TO think for themselves, to Judge
independently of men and measI res, and to
act irrespective of dictation from any quar-
ter. The recently begotten Nebraska Bill,
by Senator Douglas, is not, in their opinion,
a truly Democratic measure; and believing
themselves to hold, in this respect. a better
Democracy than its AUTHORS and supporters,
they refuse to come TO its aid. On Friday
eJening last, large meeting of Germans
was held at Turner's Hall. to take this sub.
ject into consideration. IL was organized by
the choice of Dir. Renau, President; and
Messrs. Saal and Stossmeister, Secretaries.
The following resolutions, reported by
Messrs. Renau, Germs, Saal, Gerwig, and
Hernert, were unanimously adopted:
ReSoLU d, That we consider the Nebraska
bill, as introduced by Senator Douglas, throw
ing open TO slavery this hot yet organized
territory, as a violation of the Constitution of
the United States and the Missouri Compro-
mise-a disgrace to America aud this age.
ResoiUed, That We solemnly protest against
l., in the name Of huma nifty, liberty and JUS
tice, and that We will oppose it by all legal
means.
ReSOlred, That the Senators of Ohio, by
their noble and manly behavior in this ques-
ton, have met our unqualified appreciation.
Resoired, That we call on the friends of
liberty, without distinction of party or coun-
try, to unite with US in putting down the ag-
gressions Of slavery.
Resclred, That we call on the Legislature
OF Ohio earnestly to express their opinion on
the Nebrasl bill.
Resolred, That Senator Douglas by this act,
has forfeited the esteem of every citizen who
has the Interests ofGberty at his heart.

Martha washington Conspirators--at-
sempt 10 rescue the IN from the Belle

A corresp ondent of the Louisville Journal
writing from on board the Belle Sheridan. at
Paducah, gives some interesting particulars
of an abortive attempt, on the part Of Mr..
Sherriger, Kissane's bail in the forgery case,
TO raise riot on beard and effect the rescue
of the prisoners. While the Sheridan was
at Mount Vernon, the Ben Franklin came
alongside. Immediately, says the writer, we
were boarded by large number of her pas
sengers. The police had antici Pated the ar
rival of friends of the prisoners, and were
prepared for their reception. They were,
however, disappointed, in finding that but one
of the number of the Franklin's passengers
was on the errand suspected. The scene of
excitement which ensued, upon Mr.. Sherri-
ger coming into the cabin, and with oaths
demanding the rel' ase of Kissane and his
confederates, is reported to have been indes-
cribuble. The passengers to man rallied
to the support of the officers, not knowing
but those who accompanied the disturber
from the Ben Franklin, were confederates.-
They at once determined to assist in the de-
fence of the law to the last extremity. Mr.
Sherr ger, finding that his plans for exciting
a riot had failed, and that neither himself nor
the prisoners had any friends on board, ceas-
ed his violence, and began to seek the SYM
patty of the passengers by asserting the in
nocence of the passengers and denouncng
the illegally of their arrest. His movements
only continued to incense the passengers
against him, and it was with difficulty that a
number could be restrained from throwing
him overheard. The boat in the meantime
had got under Roadway, and the passengers
not liking his company resolved upon more
quiet way of getting rid of him.
The passengers addressed note to Capt.
Montgomery, requesting the removal of Mr..
Sherriger from the boat, which was promptly
complied with. He went back on board the
Ben Franklin. The passengers held meet
ing on board, and passed a series of resolu-
tons complimentary to the police and Capt.
Montgomery for their heroic conductin main
tai ming the authority under which they were
acting, and resolved to constitute themselves
into committee of the whole" to see the
prisoners safely landed at Helena, Arkan.

the work of the various railroads in the State

COULDN'T CURE HIM-A good story is
told, in an Eastern paper, of a tire stment OF
a drunken husband by his miserable spouse.
After trying various experiments, all to cure
drunkenness, she thought of making a re-
formed drunkard of her lord
She engaged a Waterman for a stipulated
reward to carry Phlander to watch house
while yet in state of insensibliIy, and to
frighten him when he recovered. In conse-
quence of this arrangement, Phiander yoke
up about ii O'Clock at night, and found him
self lying on pine bench in a strange
and dim apartment. Raising himself up on
his elbow, he looked around until his eyes
rested on man sitting by stove smoking a
cigar.
"Where am i,'' said Phlander.
ain medical college," said the cigar
smoker. a,-t -.
"What doing there!"
"Going to be cut up"
'fiow comes that!''
"Why you died yesterday while you were
drunk, and we bought your body to make a
'natomy."C 10 .u.Ea
"lt's a Helm not dead"
"No matter-we bought your carcass from
your vile, who had a right to sell it, for il 5
all the good she could make of you. If you
are not dead, that's no fault Of the DOCTORS,
and they'll cut you up, dead or alive"
''You will do it, eh!' asked the old sot.
Aye, 10 be sure we will, now directly"
was the resolute answer.
"Well, can't you let US have something to
drink, before you begin!'
This last speech satisfied the Waterman
that Philander was hopeless case; and as
his reward was contingent on his successful
treatment of the patient, he was not little
chagrined at the result; so, with no gentle
handling, he turned the irreiormable ineb;iate
out of the watch house.
