porter Of the English Church Establishment has
supplied us with language suitable to the of
these cowardly terrorists, in the following happy
description of modern know-nothing:
Philagathsrches is an instance mot uncommon,
we are sorry to say, even among the most rational
of the Protestant dissenters) of love of federation
combined with love of persecution. He is dis
senter, and earnestly demands religions liberty for
that body of men; but, as for the Catholics, he
would not only continue their present disabilities,
but load them with every new one that could be
conceived. He expressly says that an Atheist or
Deist may be allowed to propagate their doc
trines, but not Catholic; and then proceeds with
all the customary trash against that sect which
nine school boys out of ten now know how to re-
flute. SO it is with Phagatharches; SO it is with
weak men in every sect. 1t has ever been our OBJ
ject, and Gin spite of misrepresentation and abuse)
ever shall be our object, to put down this spirit
to protect the true interests and to duse the true
spirit of liberation.

THE NATIONAL WIG PARTY-A HEAyY Re
wARD.-The Georgetown (Kentucky) Herald gives
a humorous account of select meeting OF National
Wings, recently held in Frankfort, Kentucky, at
which the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
'.Resoiued, That we, the sole representatives of
the great wing party of northern and southern
Kentucky being sorely at loss to knoweswhere
shall CO. publish the following advertisement to
the know-nothings of Kentucky, and AL the bal
ance Of mankind, in the hope that by this method
we may be enabled to restore to the sheep-fold of
the faithful all those friends of the rich Irish
brogue,' and the sweet German accent who have
so suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from the
face of the earth"
The following is copy of the advertisement re-
ferred to in the above:
"One thousand dollars reward will be paid for the
arrest and conviction or conversion Of the wing
central committee and all the rest of the graat whg
party who recently strayed or were stolen from tie
fold of the faithful, and who now know nothing of
the patriotic Harry Clsy but have become ardent
worshippers at the shrine of veritable odd SAM
Said committee with their allies and fngle-men, are
supposed to be nightly lurking in some of the eel
lars or out-houtes of the city Of Frankfort and
when seen in daylight may be readily recognized
by their oily CANNON physiognomies.
"Of the above reward 81 will be paid for the
discovery of the central body; and 5000 to be paid
for the convScton and conversion of the balance of
the party TO true national wing principles"

We are indebted to II. WulTTELL, ESD, for the
y. Y. Times and Tribune of the oh, and the
Herald Of the 10 h. We learn from the latter
paper, that Governor Clark had signed the Liquor
Bill, over which there was great rejoicing. The
Wig State officers Of Iowa have all been clec.c /!
hy large maio!itcs. The Know Notlings have
been i featel ut ii,rtforl, Coma. d:sgraceful
riot had occurred in Il Catholic Church, at On
ford, \. Y. Many pcrsons were injured, bat no
lives lost.
Mr.. WnIrTElL informs Us that tclccrarh:c dis
patch had been received at Chicago, ann ,uncing
;irt the Vienna Conference ha been d.ssoiv I'd.
1t seems that Russi. was willing to give up the
Principa:l.tcs, or rather was wiling to hold them
under the dctat.on of the Four Powers. Napo.
leon claimed that Russia must either ply for the
war or dismantlc Sebastorol. If she refused to
DO this, lie should insist that Sobastopol should
he taken. Russia would not acccde to this, and
the Conference was d.sso,vei.
Mr. Whttcli says thit another dispatch states
that a battle had been fought at Sebastopol AMI
many Russians killed. The Russians made a
sortic on the Allied Army-they were repused
with great loss. The loss on both sides he thinks
was set down at t-O,UUO. Inc war had cOmmenceu
with renewed yigor. These dispatches were pub
lished in the Chicago papers, a copy Of whichour
informant could not procure.

ARRIVAL OF THE WAR EAGLE-FIRST
THROUGH BOAT.

not much greater excitement could have been
created had the Russian Army invaded our Ter
ritory, than the appearance of the War Eagle at
our Levee last evening. AS soon as the news was
made known that the boat was coming, a large
number of men, women, children and animals
hurried to the Levee and presented scene we
have never witnessed before in st. Paul. The
noble vessel soon reached the Levee, and then for
the excitement, the running to and fro, screaming
pushing, &c.,-we will not attempt to describe it,
1t is enough to know that the passengers were
glad to reach their destination and our citizens
equally glad to see them.
The War Eagle left Galena on Saturday after
noon-reached the Lake yesterday morning-left
that point for st. Paul, breaking her way through
the ice, which was from ten to twelve inches thick
Captain HARRIS was determined his boat should be
the first one through, and venturng what others
dared not, he bears off the palm.
The number Of passengers brought by the War
Eagle was 476 cabin and 33S deck--total S14
which, we were informed by the Clerk, Mr.. Merry,
was the number who came to this Territory
Among the passengers we noticed several of our
citzens-Col. Irwin, Messrs. Elicit, Pace, Jones,
of Minneapolis, and others. The latter gentle
man was accompanied by large number f.per-
sons from his own State. He's g ''brck."
There no mail on board, nor any late pa
pes. We indebted to Capt. Ulrris, for Il
Missouri Republican, but find nothing further
than we have already given. The next boat ex-
pectcd, is the City Belle. The War Eagle leaves
this morning, bearing off TIE honor Of being the
first through boat of the season.

THE ISprASs.-We learn from a gentleman
from Fort Ridgely, that on Friday last, band
of Sioux, headed by three chiefs, repaired to the
Warehouse at the Agency and demanded food,
being in a destitute condition. The person hav-
ing it in charge refused, when the Indians seized
an axe-broke into the establishment and helped
themselves. The course of the Indians is justi-
fed by those who know their present condition.
We have expressed hope several times before
that some thing should be done to alleviate the
wants of our Indians, and if their wants are not
alleviated, serious difficulty will most assuredly
fellow.

IMMENSE ENTERPRIzE.-The magnetic telegraph
between Bombay. Madras and Calcutta, was open

embraces a distance of over two thousand miles,
aud has been completed in little more than a
year. The distance from Alden to Bombay is
2l70 miles, so that with the completion of the
railroad across the desert to the Suez, and the
telegraph from Alexandria to Trieste, communi-
cation from London to Calcutta can be had in a
fortnight.

THE LEyEE.

Could the Pioneers of Minnesota, who "sleep
that sleep that knows no waking" arise from
their graves and behold the stirring scenes visible
on our Levee, they would be as much astonshed
as the Red men were who beheId for the first
time, the mighty ships of Columbus as they ap-
preached the shores where never white man had
trod. Five brief years what change! Then
one, two, or even three boats veek, were herald
ed with general rejoicing; now three boats day
quite often stir the blood in the veins and set the
great heart of business, all throbbing. Per-
haps no place in the great west, has increased so
rapidly in its commercial relations, as St. Paul,
and it is destined to increase still MORE until one
continuous line of boats from tine Lower to the
Upper Levee, shall fully demonstrate to the old
fogy, that our city in ten years, will rank the third
city in the Valley of tho Mississippi. But to
want more Levee room 1t is too
and unless this levee room is procured
now, few years hence will show the folly of the
neglect.
