between the wholc interior and this central point, thus opening direct avenue for western produce to the interior of the whole south, and will cause the bagging and rope, flour, and pork manuiacturies, and other articles of western products for the south, to pass from here on those roads, because by those roads they are at the market for their consumption in the inte- rlor; whereas, when shipped down the river to Vlcksburg, New Orleans, and around by Mobile Savannah and Charleston, 1t will have to be reshpped to the planters at large additional expense, for such long, roundabout transporta- ton, reshipments etc. Therefore the consul mer and merchants of the interior of the south will make their purchases at Kentucky city, and the produce and merchandise Of the south- crn States for western consumption will be forwarded to this point here, to be sold or ex- changed for western productions, or to be ship ped still farther west. The aggregate of all these varied transactions will create and con- centrate here such a vast amount of business as will make this point the largest and most lm- portant city of the Missippi valley for all these railroads will not only rapidly populate and in- crease the productions, exports and imports of the whole country, but running north and south, will multiply and furnish markets, and thereby immediately spring up and increase to an en- ormous extent a trade between those regions, Tn the exchange of the productions and manu- factures of the north for the valuable staples of the south; they will originate the business which sustains them, by penetrating sections abOundng in the richest agricultural and mine- ral productions, but so secluded from all other avenues of communication, as to have remain cd undeveloped heretofore.
 There must be some great and prominent CENTRAL POINT between the north and south, at which will concentrate, for sale or for exchange, the staples of one section for those of the other. The south Atlantic and the gulf cities have been striving to connect with the Ohio and Mississippi vallies.
 lift be true that Kentucky city is the near est point of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Charleston and Savannah and to all the south Atlantic States, and that the railroads are or will be in twelve months completed connecting those cities and States with this point, will not the fact that this point is at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi and below all their tribu- taries, and that the railroads from the north and west will meet here with those for the east and south, prove that this must inevitably become the great centre of trade and commerce?
 It must be evident to all who will investigate that the 300 acres which we now propose to sell in lots of various sizes immediately upon the river, and above and below, and all around the depot grounds, offer greater opportunities for speculation than were ever before presented.
 l am very respectfully, your ob't sev't.

battle between Gen. Harney and the Brule formation published yesterday morning, but some days now before we get the particulars of the action, as the commanding officer will probably wait for the regular mail before send ing in full report:
 Camp oa Blue Water River,
 September 4th, 1855.
 DEAR Sra: An express leaves us in a few moments for the States, and 1 drop you few lines by it to let you know that Gen. Harney had fight yesterday morning with one of the principal bands of the Brules under Little Thunder, and very nearly, if not quite, rub bed" 1t out
 The Indians were encamped on the Blue Water River, beautiful stream which rises in the sand buttes to the north of the Platte, and empties into the Platte about three miles above Ash Hollow. The Indians were discovered as we came into camp at Ash Hollow on the even- ing of the 2d, and Gen. Harney at once deter mined to attack them.
 Accordingly, the mounted force, under Col Cook, turned their position before daylight next morning. while at daybreak, Major Cady, with a battalion of the sixth infantry attacked in iiOho. LlC lhituoi OoHiLHClCCu GHO dCtiou, duu as the Indians retreated they all at once found themselves upon the dragoons, who suddenly debouching from their ambuscade, charged the Indians with sabre and revolver, and what be- tween the troopers, the infantry, and the Ind- ans, there was soon as fine specimen of free fight as one could wish to see. The fight and chase lasted for two or three hours, at the end of which time there were no Indians to be seen except the prisoners, and the dead bodies which were piled up in all directions. The Indians lost about eighty-fve in killed, including their chief Little Thunder, and between 60 and 70 prisoners (women and chldren); they also cap- tured large number of horses and muleS-to say nothing of wagon-loads of new lodges, buff falo meat, and Indian fxins in general. We lost four killed, four severely, and four very slightly wounded. Two of the wounded will not likely recover, as the arrows which struck them penetrated their lungs.
 Our camp is now at the mouth of the Blue Water, where we shall remain few days, un- til a small work can be thrown up at Ash Hol- low, which will be garrisoned by one company, for the protection of the road.
 In the Indian camp, many papers and articles were found which had been taken from the mail party. In haste, yours, etc.

The true Democrat., 1855-10-09

In eUery case where the member was elected, as above named, by the know nothings, he is free soilcr or abolitioniSt: thus giving thirty abolitionists to the next Congress, in the place of the same number of sound national or Ne braska democrats in the last Congress; and yet southern know nothings can huzzah at their snccess in the northern States, and co o-operate with them in planning for the defeat of the de- mocracy.
 In every case where the member named as above, was elected by the democrats, he is a sound national democrat What a contrast Let southern men read these undenable facts, and then pause and reflect.
 There were torty.fow northern democrats who voted in the last Congress with the south in favor of the Nebraska bill, and not single northern aOllg voted it. The democrats north of Mason & Dixon's line have not elected a sin gle abolitionist to the next Congress-we defy any of the know nothings to name ONE. The know nothings have not elected a single man who is not either an abolitionist or a freesoil- er-not ONE; and we defy any ally of the aboltioniStS, south, to name single one!
 ItWOuld be well, we think, for southern know nothings to ponder well these facts before they go farther in their opposition to democracy.- With all sincerity, advise them to this course. Democracy Is now the only national cOhServa- tive party in the Union, and if this be defeat ed, dismemberment of our once glorious Union, It seems to us, must and will be inevita- bly, the result. The democratic party has car ried us safely through the storms of over halfa century, and why not trust it yet longer? Fa naticism is " rampant" at the north, threatening our almost immediate destruction, and the de- mocratic party there is our only hope--to no other does any man, at all conversant with the signs of the times, look for aid and comfort" Then why not let us of the south, whose all is at stake sustain those whom we know to be our friends-our only friends "The demo- cracy of the north is the natural ally of the south," said one whose talent and experience entitled his opinions to credit; and as the his tory of our country abundantly proves is true, let us remember the saying and act accord ingly.

Sick of Know Nothing Dishonesty aud
 COrruDtiOE.

The Philadelphia Sun, the know nothing or gan of that city, is becoming sick at the dishon- esty and corruption of its party, and says:
 "We are not disposed to make the cats paw for designing demagognes, to pluck from the hot ashes of political contention all the honors and profit, while our principles are not in the least advanced. We have seen enough to make the heart scken at the corruption and degeneracy of the new school politicians, and active cautery must be applied to eat out their proud flesh. If selfish, greedy, and unworthy anxiety after place shall induce departure from the striaght disasters must result"

Little Rock, Oct 3, 1855.

A FRANK CoNFEssIoN.-Th Montgomery (Ala.) Journal fairly owns up that there is no room whatever to hope for the success of the know nothing party in that State. In the Mont gomery district, Mr. Watts the know nothing candidate, whom the Journal represents as a gentleman of irreproachable private character and qualifications, only carried two counties. That paper admits it was not the man that was beaten, and says:
 "The defeat of the party by such majorities In those counties sufficiently explains the real reason, ana however anxious we may be, as is usual with defeated men, to impute or ima- zine other causes, we cannot hide the plain fact that the cause itself could not secure enough votes. There was DO lack of labor and effort, and we may as well own up that the platform, as it now appears, represented or mis- represented, does not commend itself to the po- pular mind.''
