More Of the Tricksrx of Chase.

The editor of the Sandusky German paper
saysthe Cincinnati Enquirer, which is support
Ing CHASE, lately published a letter from the
Abolition candidate for Governor, in which,
notwithstanding the fact that he is running fol
that Office with eight members OF the order on
the ticket, and that be has been pronounced
cali right" by its head, Tom SPooNER, he
lakes ground against the "daIk- lantern con-
Spiracy." This, is of course, a mere trick 10
wheedle and cozen, the naturalizei citizens
into his support. The Statesman caused an
exact and literal translation Of The letter, as
published in the German paper, 10 be made
for its columns, wereupon CHASE comes out os
follows i'll tie State Journal:
"MOUNr VERNON, September 5, 1855.
81 have just seen an alleged translation of
q translation Of a letter, in the Statesman Of
Tuesday. Iii so grossly gnrbled that it might
as we'll be q forgery. In nc letter have | ex-
pressed any views inconsistent with what |
have constantly declared on the stump. Will
write by mail. S. P. CHASE"
To this Colonel MEDARr thus replies
whether the letter is grossly grabbed or
not Is altogether between Mr.. Chase and his
German editor of SanduSky. We say the let
ter, as it appears in our columns, is a literal
translation OF The copy published in the Chase
paper oil Sandusky. The copy Is in our pos.
session, and will be shown 10 any gentleman
who desires TO see il. If Chase's Sandusky
friend has been connecting q cheat 10 swindle
the Germans into supporting Chase, let him
be exposed. But we call for the publication
Of the original letter. We shall then sec
whether Chase tells the truth, or whether
his Sandusky friend is o .Jorger
This puts CHASE and his German friend in
rather q tight fix. The former is destined to
f9d that he cannot ride "two horses'' in this
campaign without falling IN the pround.

Tho New Capital Of Kansas.

The young, thriving and beautiful town OF
Lecompton--of which We have frequently spo-
ken on previous occssions-hns been designs
ted by our Legislature as the permanent seat
of Government oil this Territory. We do not
believe that o mere desirable, beautiful or eli.
gible point could have been selected for
the location Of The capital. Beautifully sit.
uated on the Kansas River, opposite the mouth
Of its largest and best timbered tributary, sur
rounded by a country rich in agricultural and
minural resources, accessible by all the princi-
pal roads in our Territory, the town Of Le-
compton possesses every natural advantage
necessary TO make il the largest and most
beautiful Island town in our Territory. The
situation OF the tow site 10 surprisingly beau
tiful, while its streets, squares and Ieserya :
tions have been made on the most liberal and
unobjectionsble scale.
We learn that there are already being erect
ed at Lecompton a large number Of buildings
and that in a few weeks q large saw and grist
mill, will be in opeIation there. Arrangements
have also been made by q company Of enter
prising men for the immediate construction of
substantial bridge across the Kansas River on.
posite the town. From the gratifying intelIi.
gence We have received from the reliable
sources OF the present prospects Of Lecompton,
we shall expect TO sec it progress more rapidly
than any Town on the Kansas River. Indeed,

one year hence, the second city in Kansas in
point Of population and importance. Kansas

the following is ar extract :
"Ths scandal, dishonor and perfdy of his
enemies reached the extreme ofassocia:ing moi

with The troops OF the United States, who
passing the frontier in the disguise Of deserters,

uDThe Know-No.hing movements is fast
tending TO Abolitionism, and the entire party
will, in short time, be nothing more or less
dhan a miserable, rickety, red -mouthed Adolf
ton faction-at least in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New-York and the other free States of the I'm,
lon. The tendency Of this new political move
ment towards Abolitionism, was apparent from
the outset 10 all who reflected upon the char.
acter Of its leaders, and our only wonder is
that so many sensible men,, whose ~afinities
are all the other way, were beguiled into the
underground, dark lantern project, and in.
duced 10 take the most solemn oaths of fealty
10 the infamous leaders whose sole object is
power and place even at the expense Of our
beloved Union. Democrats especially who, in
an unguarded moment, were led into the
crooked paths of Know-Nothingism, should at
once stop and reflect upon the position in
which they are unwittingly placed, and re-
trace their steps without a moments delay
Another step forward in the career of infamy,
and they are irretrievably lost.

We notice that very extensive preparations
are being made for the Agricultural fair this
year, which is 10 be the finest one ever held
in this county. The Park will be compile
ted by Saturday next, at which time weunder
stand, there is to be q celebration on The

by the Eaton Bass Band, &c. The society
have enclosed ten acres of ground, and have
erected four large halls, for the different at
ticles that are brought for exhibition, SO that
should The weather be wet, all articles will
be sheltered. As the premiums are larger and
more extensive than on former years, and the
Board of Managers and our citizens intend to
spare no pains to make it agreeable 10 all who
come, it is expected and hoped that our fam
ers will turn out en- masse with their stock
that the Mechanics Hall, which is neatly ar
ranged, will be well stored, and that the do

"But, sir, besides the unworthy means BY

Ex-Governor Blgler, the Democratic candi-
date for The Office of Governor of California,
made a speech at Brighton on the 18th OF July,
from which we take the following brief extract
California is true to the Union-true TO the
Democracy--true TO the Constitution and tLe
liberal Institutions OF our land-and in Septem-
Der next will prove to the world that she, the
youngest ofthe confede,acy, is not the lalest to

and an overwhelming majority against civiIarG
political prescription, or religious intolerance.
The Democracy will do this good work, but
not alone. Thousands of patriotic and liberal

lamented Clay and the great Webs;er-Whigs
who sincerely cherished the principles of their
party as expounded by their distinguished lead.

In O QuanIary.

Undoubtedly many respectable wings are
bothered to know how TO act in the present
state of politics. A Louisiana paper relates
that can old gentleman was in Plaquemine on
Sunday last, and got into a little conversation
about know nothingism. He acknowledged
his former love and attachment TO the wig
party and its principles, but in strong terms
denounced know nothingism; but says he,

Incidents Of the Late Railroad catastroph

Incidents Of the Late Railroad Catastrophe.
The loss Of property to the Camden and
Amboy Railroad by the late accident is esti-
mated at twelve thousand dollars only, the
cars being all old ones. The New York Times
says: ~ o.,
"The heroic conduct OF Mrs. Gillespie, OF
Mississippi, whose husband died on Friday, is
spoken OF by all. II is a somewhat singular
coincidence that the left leg OF herself and
husband were both amputated, and both at
the same p%lBce--just above the knee. Chic
roform was administered to her while her leg
was being amputated. She bore The operation
with almost Superhuman fortitude. She even
|apologized to the surgeon for what she termed
her "weakness," in grooming family. AT the
first touch Of The knife, a jet OF blood shot up
in the face OF the operating surgeon for this
she also apologized, and regretted the trouble
which she was causing. When the limb was
severed she said, Il hope they will be able to
bear this sad ne ws OF home,' and then request
ed or the surgeons did not desire 10 keep II
for any puTpoSe) that her amputsted limb might
DO buried together with the limb Of her hus-
band. .f.. M.
zone of the sufferers says that, as he lay
beneath the ruins parched with heat, a hot
liquid came pouring down within reach OF his
mouth, and he slipped it up eagerly. His
physician has not yet deemed it advisable 10
inform him that the 'hot liquid which he
drank was the blood of one of his felop passen-
gers, who was lying above him, dead, crushed
almost to a Jelly"

The Yellow Fever.

AletteI in The Petersburg Express from Nor
folk says:
at is now conceded by all physicians that
the fever has become epidemic throughout The
entire city, and that TO part, even 10 some dis
lance beyond the suburbs, is exempt from the
infection. As q proof of this, Independent of
the new cases that are occurring in every
quarter, every one, almost without execution,
complains Of D c%asional nausea and wandering
pains in the head, back aud limbs. Some con.
StitutioDs with this slight ELECTION, while 9th.
erS whose systems are weaker or more predis-
posed TO the disease will have to succumb and
pass through The crisis OF the fever. Another
characteristic OF the epidemic is that every
countenBnce universally is tinged with q sick
ly, Sallow hue, plainly showing the delelerious
effects Of the poisonous malaria they ore con.
stantly i%nhaling. Generally il comes on with
a chill and severe pain in the head, Just over
the eyes and back. Then, again, very little
pain will be felt, and the patient will 70 about
until his body gives way from feeling OF ex.
hauStion, and he goes 10 bed TO fall into q
comalose state, and so die. His pulse singular
TO say, meanwhile until within O short time of
his death, will be as strong and regular as
that Of the well man; and he will lie quietly
like one in a drowSy state from their effects of
morphine. Several cases of this kind have
occurred recently. Others, on the contra.
ny, will have no pulse at ali, not even q per.
ceptible pulsa.lon oflhe heart, and yet be calm
and sensible, and live in that state two days.
Some have the black vomit by vomiting up
werd; with others it passes through the bowels
by b~urgings. When it takes this last course
there is little or no hope for the sufferer be
