This is the second celebration of the landing OF
the Pilgrims that has taken place at the head
of navigation on the Mississippi, and Judging
from what has already transpired, the descend
ants of those hardy Puritans, who braved the dan
gers of the deep, the seventies of an inhospita-
BILE shore, and the cruel, untutored nature of the
savages, are not unmndful of their worth, or that
regard which should ever be paid to stern hearts,
fervent devotion to principle and uncompromising
hostility to oppression of every sort, whether Of
body or mind, in this or any other country
throughout the broad dominions of man. MIN.
NEsorA, we hope in all time to come, will annual
ly kneel at the shrine of the Pilgrims to cherish
| their virtues and venerate their memories.
The NEws-We gave on Saturday basket
full of news from nearly all parts of the world.
There was but little change in affairs at Washing
ton, which is ingeniously accounted for by our
correspondent in to-day's paper. Judging from
this standpoint We believe Banks will be the man.
He lacked only eight of election, and these will
come to him after frittering away a few more
days of their time. Cullom, of Tenn, will be
elected CLERK beyond question, and with but lit
tie opposition.
From Kansas we have war-like news, but mas
much as the Free States men number 1900
and the Pro-Slavery 400; and inasmuch as the
President will not, dare to send troops to Kansas
to put in force Territorial laws, We are inclined
to think the " border rafians'' will back water,
unless assisted and pressed on by Missourians.-
We hope every lover of freedom on his way to
Kansas, will hasten his steps, to aid, if need be, in
the struggle. One thing is certain-the South have
found out by this time that the d--nd Yankees
sa-called, have got sufficient back bone to resist
oppression of every kid. The next mail, we
think, will bring us something more definite con-
cerning this unparalleled attempt to gag freemen.
From information received from Oregon and
California, we feel quite sure that an Indian war
is inevitable. Tho very fact of 400 soldiers fy-
ing before the savages, clearly shows that the lat
ter prepared for battle, and if our own tribes
do not become embroiled, it will be almost mir
acle. We are not 90 safe from an attack as many
affect to believe. sa
Murders, robberies, suicides and defaulcations
are as prolific a. ever. 80 o eHal
T A letter from St. Petersburg saws :-"The
new recruitment has thrown the country into
great terror. 1t ia doubted if 400, 900 men capa.
BILE of service can be found. The towns and dis
tricts furnishing the recruits will be obliged to
provide them with fur cloaks, which is a heavy
burden, owing to the present high price of fur.
