SCENARIOS REELECTION.

The New York Herald thinks the success
of Seward is 4 severe blow to Kow Nothing
ism. he editor says:
"'rhe result Of the Legislative caucus at
Albany last week satisfied Us that the game
was up with the Know Not inrs, and that
Stewards reelection was secured. The Know
NothingS have been outWit,cd, OutmlnHuyer-
ed, and outvoted. They NAV complain Of
the tteachery of the silver grey whigs-of
traitors IN their own camp-but neither COM
plants nor explanations will help them now.
The work is done. Seward is reelected
The moral effect of this victory OF Seward
will test the solidity of the Know Nothings
in this State, in the North. and particularly in
the South, rs national political organization.
! |. will be a godsend to the administration,
and a windlall to Henry A. Wise
A wide spread agitation among the Know
NOthings, especially in the South, will follow
this election of Seward; and if this new
| American party do not look well to their de
fences, their camp will be invaded, their for
ces routed, and their prestige of invincible
strength be DESTROYED. What do they
next propose to try! We are~anXious 10
| know"
The following are the New York Tribune S
remarks on the subject;
We rejoice that there is no room for even
pretense that Gov. Stewards reelection has
| been secured by any shadow of concession
on the part of himself or his friends. He
stands TO day as unequivocal and decided an
antagonist of slavery and the influence which
conspire to empower and difiuse il rs he ever
was, and none will even assert that he has
propitatei an enemy or secured vote by
modifying or seeming TO modify the views
hitherto cherished by him on this head which
have been so widely and vehemently stigma
tized. Though quite Il number of those who
voted for him, and whose support was indis-
pensable to his success, had been inveigied
into Know Nothing" lodges and were
thought to be committed and pledged to the
most intolerant Natiyism, Gov. Seward has
maintained position of unqualified, unmiti'
gated hostility to that proscriptive dogma
Untrammeed by pledge, updegraded by
even vote-catching explanation or apology,
he is reelected for u term which does not
expire till 1861, at which period we may RI
tionally presume that slavery will have ceas-
ed to rule our National Councils and Ma
tiyism will have run its rapid race and died
out again rs it has repeatedly done ere now.
Gov s., we have no doubt, will, should life
and health be vOuchsafed HIM, serve ont the
! term for which he has been reelected, and
will dscountenance any efforts to make
| him candidate meantime for higher sta
ton. Va

GEN CASS, SPEECH.

The following is \ synopsis of Gen. Cass'
remarks upon the resolutions passed by the
Legislature of Michigan insiruciing him to
vote for the repeal Of the Fugitive Slave Act,
He said:
The Democratic party has lost its ascend
ancy in Michigan, and these resolutions arc
the result of the action of the new party
| am now instructed to vote TO DEPRIVE the
American citizen in the Territories of the
power to regulate the relations between mas
ter and servant, and for the repeal of the Flu
gitive Slave Act, which was passed TO give
effect TO the solemn guarantee Of the consli-
tuition. shall neither obey their iusiruc-
tions nor resign my seat.
| fla political party, whenever, by whatever
combinations it attains power, can compel its
opponents, holding Legislative trusts, 10 vi
! oiate their consciences and consistency. or
resign their positions, it would radically affect
the organization Of the Senate, and be incom-
patible with lis office rs the representative
/ branch of the sovereignty of the States. The
| Senate would lose every characteristic Of per
manence, as power was transferred from one
! party to another. This would operate against
the Democratic party, for their opponents do
not recognize the right to instruct.
! The intolerant prescription which is advo-
Gated by the new party would exclude from
| political confidence the first General who fell
at the head of an organized Army, at Que
bee, because born across the Atlantic, and the
last surviving signer of the Declaration of
independence, because he was a Catholic
The adoption of either measure recommend.
ed by the Legislature VI Michigan would be
the signal for the breaking up of this govern.
ment and the dissolution of this coniederacy.
There are many honest men who scout all
idea of danger, and are prepared to sacrifice
the structure OF freedom to one oyerpower-
ing impulse shall remain in the position
now occupy till the end of my term, unless
the Democracy of Michigan shall require me
to act against my convictions ofdnty. What
| fear above all things is, that the people may
be struck with Judicial blindness, with which
the nations are punished for national offences
and thus add to the melancholy list of the
people who had not wisdom enough TO APP
| precate the value of free institutions nor
virtue and frmness enough 10 maintain
them.

THE OTHER SIDE OF GLoRY."-The
battles of Alma and Inkermann have been
regarded as glorious victories, and as things
90, no doubt they were. Nominations have
been had in their honor, and public meetings,
innumerabe, have been called to do homage
to the victors. Official bulletins have chron-
icled in terms Of high culogy the heroic deeds
of generals, majors, colonies, captains; and
Fame herself has grown hoarse with blowing
her trumpet to tell the nations that Britain
has had new laures added to her coronal.-
But glory, battlefield glory, alas has two
sides. One is of a character to which dis,
lance may emphaticaly be said to lend en-
chantment, and on that particular side the
British people only have had, till recently,op-
portunity to look. The other side, however,
IS beginning to be grimly visible at home.
1t was on exhibition the other day at
Portsmouth, when the steamer Himalaya ar.
rived back from the Crimea with whole
ship load of the wounded and sick. Some
were without eyes, some had one leg left,
others no legs ut all; arms were wanting
where arms should be. There was not n
whole physical man left among them, and Il
ghastly sight it must have been to those who
saw it.

Ia" The Washington Union says that tie
last mail brings TO the delegation in Congress
from Iowa tidings that indicate a war with
the Sioux Indians. The immediate scene of
hostilities is near the mouth of the Big Sioux
river, in the northwestern portion of the
State but, from letter received from the
Governor of Iowa, it appears that about 500
warriors of the Yancton and Siston Sioux
have also encamped near Fort Dodge, on the
Des Moines river, in the central part of the
State. It is represented that the Sioux Indi-
ans are claiming that they still own the land
lying between the Little and Big SIOUX rivers,
and that they intend to occupy the same, and
plant corn there during the coming season,
Notwithstanding that portion of the State
was long since purchased by the United
States, and is now occupied by white settlers.
1t will be recollected that the Black Hawk
war originated under precisely similar state
of affairs, and experience in our intercourse
with the Indian tribes of the Northwest
teaches the Importance of providing means
for the immediate suppression of these diff
culties

icy The suggestions of our correspon-
dent Bradley" are worthy the attention OF
capitalists. We have believed for several
years, that the "Crossing at the Hiwassee"
possessed greater advantages for manufac-
turing purposes than any other point in East
Tennessee, and we shall soon expect TO see
the attention of capitalists turned in that di-
rection; and it will afford us pleasure at all
times to publish any thing calculated to eli
cit such attention and to contribute to the
building up of permanent and prosperous
interests there.

PENNSYLVANIA U. STATES SENAToR.-The
nomination of Mr.. Cameron for The Senate,
by the Know Nothngs of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, gives rise to much caucusing in
private circles in Harrisburg A telcgraphic
dispatch says:
Much bitterness is evinced by some of the
Know NOthings who boted the caucus
Amongst those who evince the most deter
mined hostility are Mcssrs. Franklin, Wilmer,
Herr and Ball, of the House, and Flenniken,
Taggart and Jordan, Of the Senate. Whether
the opposition will amount to anything is
exceedingly doubtful, further than to disor-
ganize, distract and weaken the Know Moth
ing organization. Those who voted for
Cameron in caucus, will stick to him, besides
whom he has some few friends who support
him warmly. The Democrats Know Nothings
threaten to desert "Sam" in n body if the
boilers prove recreant. There is an effort
making to concentrate the opposition to Mr..
Cameron on new man. Hon. Henry NJ.
Fuller, Of Luzerne, is spoken of as likely to
command the united vote of the opposition.
Should their plans mature, they will most
probably concentrate on him.
BLUE RIDGE TUNSEL.-We gather the
following facts relative to this work from the
Charlottesville Jcnersonian
The east side of the mountain has been
tunnelled 400 feet, Through hard rock, and
the west side has been penetrated to the dis
lancc of 1850 feet, leaving but 1900 feet now
to be cut through. Some portion Of the tun-
mel is arched with brick, and there is a two
horso-power-engi stationed there to carry
off the water which drips through the top
The intermediate tunnel 500 feet long is cut
to the distance of 300 feet. Where the tun-
has been cut, supporters of timber have been
placed. This tunnel is the most dangerous
work on the mountain, as the rock crumbles
on being exposed to the air, and tons of it
at a time tumble in upon the workmen. The
whole work of tunneIing the mountain will
be completed by August 1856, if it is not
stopped for want of money, of which there
is said to be some danger.

s61The ladies' of Corpus Christi, Texas,

patronizing of Mexican fandangoes by the

taken by the ladies' to put stop to such
wrecklessness of the Young men by visiting
such places. Here is the resolution

STATE RoAD.-We find the following
paragraph in the Atlanta Intcligencer of the
10th:
ave have been informed that the Road
was cleared of all freights remaining over,
by reason of the break in the transit at the
Hightower, and that as early as Monday last
the bridge was ready for the freight wagons.
This was promised the public, as we took oc-
casion to say, last week, but we had no sort
of expectation that the promise could be
realized. The Road, most fortunately, at
the time Of the accident to the bridge, had
six freight and two passenger engines above
the Hightower, and the rolling stock with
this power, will be amply sufficient to Keep
business going. For this desirable state of
things we are much indebted to good luck,
but much more to unlauntcd resolution and
energy"

FROM WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL.

w ASHlNGroN, req. Il.
The passage Of the joint resolution, au-
thOrzing the creation Of the office Of Lieu
tenant General, as a special honor TO Major
General Scott, has been the cause Of great
rejoicing. Col. Preston's house is crowded
tonight by the friends Of the Commander.in-
Chief. Gen. Shields and Judge Douglass
both electioneered in the House in favor Of
comforting the title. Upon aseertaining the
vote, Col. Preston drove to the War Depart
ment, where he announced the intelligence TO
Scott. The General dropped his head for a
moment, and tears were seen trickling down
his cheek. His reply was worthy of his fame,
and was precisely as follows: aLet no man
say, hereafter, that his country is ungrateful
to one who has served aer faithfully"
WASHINGTON, Feb. II.
A message was received from the Presi-
dent, informing the House that he has vetoed
the French Spoliaton Bill, and it produced
some sensation.
Mr. Orr proposed that the message be read
and printed, and considered on Monday at !
o'clock. r..t
Mr.. Bayley of Va, suggested Tuesday
next. Boisterous cries of "No," "No," "Read,"
"Read."l Points of order were raised that
the bill pending must be disposed of before
the message could be acted on.
This being acquiescediR,, another amend
ment making an appropriation for ocean SER
vice for the year, bill for that purpose hav
ing failed last session, was passed by vote
of 90 to 80.
The veto message was then read.
The President in the veto, refers TO his du-
ties under the Constitution, and discusses the
principle underlying the approval or disap-
proval of bills. He then reviews the history
of claims, and comments strongly on the fact
that never, from the beginning of the present
century, has any administration recognized
these claims, or deemed them worthy of re-
commentator to Congress; nor is it even al
legged now that new evidence has been brought
to light calculated at all to fix the liability on
this government. He argues the whole ques-
ton of our treaty of liabilities with France,
and declares unhesitatngly his conviction
that the United States has already, in the
most ample and complete manner, discharged
their whole duty to such citizens as may have
been at any time aggrieved by the acts of
the French government. For these reasons,
the bill ought not to meet the Executive
sanction.

"SAM IN THE New YORK LEGlsLATURE.'
The follow ng resolution was introduce
ed into the New York Legislature:
Resolred, That in the now distracted state

to cast off the bonds Of party leaders, and
vote only for such men for the office of Uni
ted States Senator as have shown themselves
by their acts, speeches, and votes that they
are true to the interests of the State, to the
public schools, and to the whole country"
This is the sentiment, we suppose, that
conduced so largely TO the reelection Of Mr..

the dough with little soda, and you will
have a more delightful cake than can be made

and yet the Legislature chosen by the people
