township Elections.


The time for the election Of township of
6eers will soon be here, and it becomes the
citizens Of each township to see to it, that
none but, good, honest, and faithful men are
appointed. The questions Of slavery, OIL
the subject Of the Nebraska bill should have
nothing to do in the coming canvass. The
election cannot effect these one way or the
other. Township and local officers should
be chosen with especial reference to the du-
ties they are to perform as township aud To-
cal officers. The subjects Of local taxation
and an economical management Of our home
affairs, are of paramount importance to the
people and these should be thoroughly ex-
amined, ..--.-. .s.. ..-. asl...
We suggest that meetings be called by
the citizens of the several townships, for the
purpose of making inquiry as to the cause
of our oppressive taxes. This matter can
not be examined too thoroughly. Let this
be done, and let nominations and elections
be made with reference to these subjects,
and many of cur causes of complaint will
soon be removed. -+ -.. .

SebastOpOl from the Inside.

An American physician, attached to the
Russian army, has written letter to the
Providence Journal, dated Sebastopol, De-
cember 26. After describing the situation
of the town, and the beautiful views from the
walls, he continues. ...... ...-
"Three days agoI rossed the bay for tn
first time, passed several hours in the City,
and had the honor of dining with General
Ostensacken, who has lately taken the de-
fence of the city, and was most cordially re-
ceived. Abide Camp Ruminii conducted
me to the cupola of house used as a place
of observation, on the side of the city near
est the French works, which commands
perfect view of the entire English batteries,
and of their encampment. The trenches of
the FreRch are little within 500 feet of the
outer lines of the Russian batteries, but
believe they have approached no nearer than
they were two weeks ago.
"The city having been beseiged two
months and a half has not, as you may i'm
agine, an entirely deserted appearance
Stores are open, women and children are
seen here and there in the streets, and every
pleasant afternoon there is music on the
Boulevards. On my way to the ferry, after
leaving the generals to return to our hos.
pital, my progress,was suddenly arrested by
some plaintive strains waited down from the
heights of the Boulevards; and as listened
the music was rendered more plaintiye, anc
even more touchingly sublime, by the oft-re'
peated peals Of the cannon, ever and amor
intermingling their deep and terrific bass.
"The military operations, as conducted a
present, consist only OF more or less firing
from the different bastions during the day
and occasionally at night some pretty hot
cauonadng. To witness at night, at these
times, the rapidly succeeding flashes of tn,
guns, the bombs, like balls of FIRE, perfor
ming their beautiful curves through the air
and to hear terrible whizing of the balls, il
peculiarly and fearfully interesting. Christ
mas has passed here without anything what
ever to remind me of delightful and merr
Christmas holidays of home. The Russia
Christmas comes twelve days later, as thei
dates ars so much behind ours. The climat
here is not severe, with very little snow dur
ing the winter. Last night it was sufficient
ly cold to freeze up the mud, Of which, j
rainy weather, the depth is actually frightful
and for the weather to-day, nothing coul
be finer, clear, bright and mild, and it is or
i1y at long intervals that we hear the repol
Of cannon"

Veto of the Collins Bill.

We think no act of President Pierce,
will give more general satisfaction among
honest men throughout the country, than
the veto of the bill appropriating extra pay
to COLLINS, the proprietor of the line oI
steamers to England. 1t was a splendid
scheme got up to lob the public Treasury oil
about 100000. Interested and bribed ad-
vocates of the measure may accuse the
President Of wilful and unwarranted az.
sumption Of power, but the masses of the
people will honor him for his integrity and
independence. .... ...... r.,

NEW YoRK March II


The funeral of Mr. Poole to-day far sur.
passed anything of the kind seen in this
city for years. The procession extended for
about 8 miles, consisting mainly Of citizens
on foot, from to 10 abreast, and nearly
100 carriages. Broadway was lined by a
dense mass of people, and every standing
place, or advantageous position was taken.
The excitement and feeling before and af-
ter the funera! was intense. The process
sion was headed by Dodsworth's band of so
Musicians. The various Chapln's of the
Order of United Americans, were out in full
force. The weather was proptious, and
everything seemed to make this one of the
grandest and most imposing procession ev-
er witnessed. The coffin was shrouded on
the American flag, and the last words of the
deceased-I die true American "appears
in large bold letters on the hearse." The
remains were taken to Greenwood for inter-
ment.

A BnooDY AFFAIR.-The following de-
tails of horrible affair were rec eivcd in
letter to the st. Louis Anteiger, from cit
zen of Lexington, Missouri. Imrrobable as
they appear to be, the Anzetger relies upon
its correspondent. The occurrence is said
to have happened early in February, TO two
Irish peddlers, near Warrensburg, Johnson
County, about forty four miles from L.eXing-
ton: '
"When within few miles from Warrens-
burg, they called at country house and OBJ
tain lodgings for the night. One Of them
retired early, leaving his companion still
sitting up. The latter, after an interval of
an hour, followed, and groped his way in the
dark to the bed where the other lay. when,
putting forth his hand, he found him MOTION
less, and lying in pool of blood. a.,g AL
"Ascertaining by further, examination that
his friend was dead, be turned to 60 out to
give an alarm, but met three men entring
the door. These were the assassins, and, as
they were evidently about to take his life al
so, the peddler drew large knife with which
he happened to be armed, and defended him
selfwit such desperation thst all three of
his assailantso perished in the encounter.
Two ofthe assailants were unarmed, tue 9TH
er bore an OK, the same instrument he had
nsed in numbering the sleeping man. The
names of the assassins had not reached Lex
ington. Those of.the peddlers, John Kane
han (who was murdered) and James Car

Pittsburg was ain upro ar" all We'd
uesday, and it was difficult to prevent some
serious clashiDg Thus runs the story.
Tuesday Mr.. SIaymsker and family,
with a coord female and child, arrived in
Pittsburg, and stopped at the City HOTEL
A man, named Smoker, from New Orleans,
was with them; he had a male slave. This
led the colored people to believe that the ne
gro woman and child were also slaves. f
They laid plan to rescue her, which wa
carried out.
While the whole party were at breakfast
party Of negroes entered the room, seized
the woman and child. and bore then off,
The woman screamed, cried out she was
free, but this would not do. Go she must,
and 60 she did.
What was to be done! Mr.. Slaymaker
repaired to Mayor Volz, satisfied him that
the woman and child were boIn in Pennsyl.
vania, and free, and that he was an anti
slavery man! These facts put new face
on the affairs. The colored people gave up
their prize, and the woman and child gladly
returned to their employer. ,aaa.1 s,>.
Mr. S. allowed the matterssto stop, feeling
no doubt, that eternal vigilance is the price ol
