THE RUMOR OF WAR.

We felt confident there was no foundation for the
rurnor of impending hostilites between the United
States and England. The following extract from
the foreign by the last arrival sets the
at rest
6 An extraordinary excitement has prevailed
through the British Empire, in consequence Of a
rumored war with the United States. 1t has amount
ed almost to panic, but resolves itself into the
single fact that the London Times hunting for cdi.
torals, started the rumor, which was seized upon
by the Provincial press and the affair soon assumed
such Importance that extras issued, announ-
cling that the American Minister had DEMANDED
his passports
4 genefai establishment was the result and pro-
tests were every where heard against the govern
ment involving itself in such a dangerous
Mr.. Buchanan, Minister to the Court of ST
James, was teegraphed from Liverpool, on the eve
of the steamers sailing, and promptly returned the
following dispatch, which amounts to a complete
contradiction.
London, Nov. 2d.-It is not true that the Amer
lean Minister has demanded his passports of the
British Government, and there is no foundation for
such report"
Notwithstanding this, there is an uneasy feeling
in the public mind"
WISCONSIN ELECTIoN.-Private and published &C
counts all go to confirm the beefthat the Democra-
cy of Wisconsin have achieved most brilliant vic
tory at the recent election. The reaction in public
opinion throughout the State is remarkable as it
is gratifying. A correspondent of the Washington
Union writes:
"Iowa county, which last year gave 400 free-soil
majority, now gives 400 Democratic majority"
THE LARGEST PUMPKIN YEr.-A. G. Headen, Esq,
writes us from Pedlars Hill, Chatham, that having
seen cur account of the Orange pumpkin weighing
81 pounds he has to inform that he can lay that
in the shade by just IL pounds. Mrs. Archibald
Mcintyre, of Chatham, he states, raised pumpkin
the present n, which weighs pounds.
Mr. Hcadcn says he would have sent it to US, but
the weight too great. We take his word for it ;
and of course he will think of while paying his
respects to the rich pumpkin custards which Mrs.
Mcintyre will make out of it.
MISSISSIPPI ELEcTIoN-The Memphis Appeal of
the 9th inst which reached us yesterday, Says the
Union,) contains election returns from portion OF
Mississippi which confirm the telegraphic dispatches
previously published, announcing that decisive
triumph had been achieved by the unfalterng De-
mocracy of this gallant State.

G9rThe ID and Sd numbers of the Kanzas
Tribune, published at Lawrence, X. T., by
the Messrs. Speer, at Ss2 year, have reached
US. The paper is large, handsome, and well
filed. Our friend John Speer, at the head Of
the paper, is most inveterate abolitionist,
and we look for " scrimmages' between him
and the Mssourians while Kanzas is emerg-
ing from the chryslis to statehood. If the
martyr fate of Lovejoy should lie in wait for
him on the umbrageous banks Of the Kan
zas, we promise him in advance blac lines,

of our readers who would like to see good
paper from Kanzas and encouage one that
IS thoroughly devoted to freedom there, (and
one that will Gomez should send for the Tri
bune. Success to the enterprsing editors.
We see that John Speer has been appoint
cd justice of the peace by the governor Of
Kanzas. This must have been one Of the
appointments which the Missouri squatter>
objected to, on account of his anti-savery
sentiments. We always thought Pennsylva-
mans seemed somehow TO possess peculiar
fitness and grace for the office of justice of
the peace. We like the appointment.
