IxcENDIARIsM -.School House Destyoye5.-
On the night Of the 3lst Of last month, some
fiend or fiends, in the Town Of Hail. Bureau
County, set fire to a new School House, and
burnt it to the ground. The houss was
built last summer, and school was being
taught in it at the time. To us it appears al.
most incredible, that any creature with a
human form, could be found base enough to
conceive and perpctratc 50 fiendsh deed.
\ fcud, we understand, existed in the dis
trict, which originated in difference of
opinion concerning the location ofthe house.
Our informant says, "a majority ofthe inha.
bitants Of the district are members of the
Methodist Society and three of them have
been arrested on suspicion of being the in.
cendiares." We hope however, for the
credit Of the district and prosperity Of the
church, they will he able, by positive or cir
cumstantal proof, to wipe out that suspi-
cion Worse still, our informant says that a
majority of the families in that district are
without newspaper Of any kind Well,
well if men will burn School Houses, and
refuse, or neglect to subscribe for newspa.

Trunk Thieves in Limbo.

We copy from the Chicago Journul, Of
Tuesday the subjoined particulars of,hc case
Of the two gentlemen who were examined
before Esq. Fisher at this place last Satur-
day, on charge Of trunk stealing. They
are still in Jail, and will have hearing be.
fore the grand jury, which is now in session,
on Monday.
PlSKEEroN AND THE RAILROAD CoNDucToRs
-On Saturday last Mr. ALLEN PlSKERToS, the
celebrated Detective Police officer, arrested
George I. Helms, who has until recently been
employed as conductor upon the Illinois
Central Railroad, and also upon the Galena
and Chicago Union and New York Central
Railroads, and man named johnson, a saloon
keeper at La Sale, on charge of stealing
goods and brggagc from the Illinois Central
Road. destined to points below Mendoza
\ large number Of goods having mysteri.
ously disappeared after being placed in the
cars, Col. Mason employed Mcssrs Pinkerton
a Co.. of the North Western Police Agency,
to ferret out the depredators, and as might
have been expected, success has crowned the
labors Of these invincble detectives.
Mr.. Pinkerton having asccrtained that n
portion of stolen property found its way
northward on the Chicago and Rock Island
Railroad, and obtained clue as to whom
the dcpiedators were, and having also an ac-
curatc description Of the goods lost, proceed
cd to Joliet where he found in the depot Sc
yeral Of the stolen trunks, and watched them
until the parties above named made their
appearance and claimed the goods The de-
predators were permitted to have their
trunks conveyed to their hotel in Joliet, and
when fairly in their possession they were ar
rested and lodged in Jail by Mr.. Pinkcrton,
and his assistant, Mr.. Alonzo Leach, Depu.
ty Sheriff of viii county.
The stolen property consisted Of hats,
caps, musical instruments, and large lot Of
hardware.
Helms and johnson are now in Jail at OF
tawa, wait!n. further examination, which
will take place as soon as the witnesses on
the part Of the people arrive.
johnson is now under indictment in La
Sale Co. on charge of stealing, and his
trial will probably take place at the next
term of the La Sale Circuit Court, 10 be
held some time this month.
Upon tie person Of Helms was found a
bunch of keys which fitted the various car
and station house locks used by the Illinois
Central Company.
Both Helms und johnson are large athlc.
tic men, and made desperate resistance
when arrested.
Messrs. Pinkerton 4 Co. are deserving of
great credit for the energy and ingenuity
which they have exhibited in ierre,ing out
these rasCals.

Southern Emigrant Aid Society.

We shall not have one further word 20 say
against the Massachusetts Emgrant Aid So.
cietics for the colonization of Massachusetts,,
since the south arc engaged in the same bu.
sness. 1t is now free race between the
slavery propogandists and the aboli,ionists,
which can push in emigrants fastest, and as
it is q fair game on both sides, let EN- 90 it,
Our opinion, however, is decidedly, that a.
all such games the south, as against the
north, will be badly worsted. We cut the
following from an exchange:
At recent meeting of the Kansas Erni.
grant Aid Society Of Muscogec, Ca, held at
Columbus, subscriptions to the amount of
5000 were received, and twenty additional
members enrolled. Senator Toombs made
the speech Of the occasion, in which, in his
usual style, he justified southern movements
to COLOMBO Kansas with slaves by charging
the North with bad faith with respect to the
provisions of the Nebraska Kansas bill. He
gloriiicd the results of slave labor in Virgil
mia, Kentucky and Missouri, and was anx-
ious to confer the same blessing upon Kan
saS.
Judge Crawford suggested that all the
Shareholders of the South should contribute
one dollar for each slave they possessed, ma
king some four millions of dollars, which sum
he thought sufficient to enable them to plant
slavery firmly in Kansas. We shall wait
patiently while the subscription is being ILL
cd up.

Another Muse with England.

About once in every two years all news
paperdom in England and the United
States is thrown into fit Of Mysteries by
rife and fearful rumors ola close impending
war with England. Thus the Northeastern
Boundary war came and passed off
in smoke-so the Fifty -four-forty -or.fight
war-and so the war about the breechess
King Of the Mosquitoes. Actuatcd by some
strange motive, as absurd and Incompetent
sible as any heretofore, the London Times
prompted by Lord Palmerston, has thought
proper to set the newspaper world agog, and
frighten nervous old ladies' by declaring
another war against the United States.--
Awaiting itself of the occasion of a slight in
crease of the British West India squadron,
the Times makes it the text for another of
its periodical attacks on Brother Jonathan,
the present indictment being founded on the
said Jonathan's tilibustering propensities,
and declares the meaning Of the augmenta.
ton of the West India squadron to be, the
curbing of this spirit and 10 put stop
generally to American expansion. Stimuli.
tancously it is announced that the Clayton.
Bulwer treaty, by which England abondon-
cd her protectorate over the Mosquito King
and the I. s. agreed not to annex any part
of Central America, is abrogated, and the
English intend to resume their protector
ate. In doing this, she is prompted
by the iilibustcring movements of Col. Kin
ncy and Capt Walker, threatening the an
neXation of Nicaraugua,) and the pend.
ing negotiations by which the U. States
propose to "annex" harbor in the Island
Of llayti,-to all Of which England intends
to put stop, saith the Times. The article
of the Times will be found in another col
umn.
Now all this is large talk-vcry natural
for "Thc Thundercr' and John Bull gcner-
ally, who justly feels biz since the taking of
Sebastopol by the French and who thinks
he can now frighten all the world by sim
pie toss of his horns. But our opinion is,
Brother jonathan is not so easily frightcn-
cd. lie has incorporated in his code Of the
law Of nations section he calls the "Mon-
roe doctrine" the substance of which is
that he will annex just as much of the Anne
rcan continent as he pleases and that no
European nation will be allowed the same
privilege, and to this he means to adhere
If Capt. Walker is ready, and the people of
Nicaragua are willing, and Brother jonathan
DEGREES it, we have no doubt Nicaragua and
the Mosquito Kingdom in the bargain will
be annexed, whether John Bull likes it or
not, and he will not go to war about it either
This British laundering is an old song, and
at this late day scares Brother Jonathan less
than it ever did before.

San Juan on the I'd inst, bringing the Cali

the 10Th inst The California news is Who'll

America continues exciting. Capt. Walker,
the famous California iillibustcr, has succce-

own way. lie has concluded q treaty of
peace with the only respectable party that
opposed him, and has made Don Patrcio
Rivas, one Of his earliest rartisans, presi-
dent of the republic, himself having refused
the honor, but taken, in preference, the po-
sition of General and Commander in Chief
of the forces Of Nicaragua. Parker ii.
French, Esq, formerly of the Sacramento
Tribune, was appointed Commissary Of
War, etc.
Gen. W. has thus not only taken care Of

The New York Heralds synopsis Of the
news adds
The people of Nicaragua seemed much
pleased with the change in aiiars-great sa-
tisiaction was expressed with the treaty Of
peace and all the appointments Walker
punished severely all offences among his own

kind was allowed.
The Sierra Nevada brought down large

\ HARD PLACE-We find the following
account Of the recent iynching affair at Cal
70, in the St. Louis Republican:
ROBBERY AT CAIRo-A colored man nam.
cd James Victor, a pastry cook on the river
was assaulted and robbed at Cairo, on Mon.
day last, under the following circumstances:
lie had gone to Cairo on the steamer High
flyer, and purpOscd waiting for the Balti-
more to return to ST. Louis. The authori.
ties at Cairo arrested him on suspicion OF
being runaway slave, and he was advised
to give his money, amounting TO $3.50 in
gold, into the hands Of the barkccpcr Of a
whari-boat there, for safe keeping. He sue
ceeded in proving his freedom, and demand
ed his money. The barkccpcr gave it to
him, with the exception Of s., which he
charged him for taking care of it. Another
man, named Scott, who had interested him
self in Nictor's behalf demanded $40 for his
services. This was refused, but Victor gave
him 50 to get rid Of him. \ third person,
who felt interested in Victor, invited him TO
take a walk to his house. The unsuspectng
man went, and in the house was met by five
ruilians, with knives and other weapons,
who demanded his money or his life. He
parted with the former, and Immediately
went and gave information ofthc occurrence
to the authorities. They succeeded in
catching one Of the robbers, from whom $40
of the money was obtained. lie was then
severely beaten, and subsequently tied be-
hind Il skiif and rowcd across the river into
Kentucky. The other robbers could not be
found, having made good their escape. -
Victor wishes to have il distinctly under
stood that he thinks Cairo a bad stopping
place, and advises persons who are obliged
to stop there, to keep their hands on their
pocket books. The foregoing is his state.
mcnt of the facts.

CONDITION OF New ORLEAys.-Thc innu.
cncc which the railroads, now penetrating
the West, are exerting upon the commerce
of New Orleans, is beginning to excite a'good
deal of attention in that city The New Or.
leans Daily Delta was the first to publish the
fact that the exports from New Orleans exhi-
bitcd decline too remarkable to be accoun-
ted for by any scarcity of breadstui's, and
other domestic products during the past
year. The Delta takes up the annual state
ments Of the commerce Of New Orleans for
the years 1868, \, and 8, and shows by in.
contcstiblc evidence, that the exports "ior
the year ending June 30th, 1863, amounted
to $0s,0sS, l66, in 1854, to $s3,92G,72s. in
1855, So, 1882, 102-a decrease in two years
of sixteon millions ofdoars.' The cause of
this diminution in the export trade, is very
justly attributed to "the railroads constructed
by Northern, Eastern and Western enter
prise, which have tapped the tributaries of the
Mississippi within the last two years and a
hall, and transferred to their own routes the
produce and freight which used to find its ma.
tural entrcpot in New Orleans"

"Thcsc are indications that the democrats
of the northern belt are preparing to meet
the abolition enemy and give him gallant
fight next year. Then there will be no halt.

mistakablc platform as enumerated by recent
meetings of the democracy in various por.
tons of the state, will be the creed of the
true democrats, north, south, east and west.

principles they will stand or fall in that con.
test. Fairly presented and discussed, we

The stnamer Pdcife arrived at New York
on Thursday, with Liverpool dates to Nov.

is the excitement in England in reference to
the threatened war with this country.
An extraordinary excitement, amounting
almost TO apanic, has prevailed in England
on the subject Of war with the United
States. The London Times, in . series OF
skillfully malicious editorials, started the
subject, which was exaggerated by the Pro.
vincial press, and which speedily attained
such dimensions that extras were issued an
nouncing that the American Minister had
demanded his passports.
General establishment and regret were
occasioned by the announcement, and angry
protests were heard against the Government
for forcing the nation into SO dangerous q
war.
The Liverpool agent Of the New York
Associated Press telegraphed to his Excel
lency, the American Minister, who promptly
and courtcously sent him the following ex.
plict contradiction Of the rumor:
sit is not true that the American Minis
ter has demanded his passports from the
British Government"
Notwithstanding this, an uneasy feeling
remains in the public mind.
