sale of KANSAS Lands Postponed.

The Commissioner of Indian affairs, by au-

vertisement, that the sale of the Delaware Trust
Lands in Kansas Territory is postponed from
the 10Th Of October until the 18th day of Novem-
Der next. Sale to take place at Fort Leavenworth
in said Territory. This postponement of the
sale of those lands until after the Presidential
election, is very proper measure.-Cin. Com.
There's fine LOT of "sph milE'' running

nal establishment, in consequence of the
change of time N the sale of Kansas land.
Two or three columns of ponderous edito-
rial knocked into ''pi," by an untimely move
ment of the Commissioner Of Indian affairs.
That gentleman ought certainly, to have
shown more regard for the labors of our CO.
temporary around the corner, than to have
thus rendered worthless so large an amount
of highly wrought and powerfully charged
material for the campaign. We learn that the
journals confidence in FREMoNT's election
has diminished something like eighty seven
and half per cent. since this most unfortunate

you elect your FREMONT State ticket your
Fremont members of Congress, and your
FREMONT Senators, Representatives and coun-
ty officers, it will not do to have any contro-
versy with them, till after that is done. But
the moment the State election is over--then
look out for warm times. The FILLMORE
men of Indiana will then "catch fright and

ers have nothing to expect from them.
FILLMORE men and FILLMORE himself find
no more hearty abusers and villifers than the
leading FREMONT journals Of the States above

holds the two factions together in this State
is cut on the fourteenth day of October, the

will distill gall and wormwood instead of

Particulars Of the Death of Captain
Benjamin Watts.

Two or three days since, we announced the
death of Captain BENZ. WATTS, of Howard
county, Missouri, giving then the only partic-
ulars which had reached us. 1t was supposed
he was killed by an elk, and the following
extract from letter from Fayette shows that
the supposition was correct:
Captain Watts was seen walking out into
his park, just back of his residence. about
twelve O'Clock He had in the park some
elk, deer, &c. At one o'clock he was found
dead, horned to death by the elk. He had
some twelve or thirteen wounds, any one of
which would have killed him. His clothes
were all torn off, or nearly so. To all ap-
pearance he made an extraordinary effort to
escape. He retreated to the fence, but was
unfortunate, as the fence was very high
one. From the stones by him and the posi-
ton of fence rail, he evidently made great
struggle for his life. The turn of a small
hill prevented any one from seeing him, or
hearing his calls for assistance. a
Captain Watts leaves a devoted wife and
four interesting and lovely children, with a
great number of friends to mourn his untimely
loss.
He was a man of considerable wealth. He
married daughter of Rev. Hampton L.
Boon, who was for many years editor of the
Jefferson EraBsiner, and at one time public
printer of the State.
The elk was shot after this calamity, and
on examination the horns were found COW
cred with blood, and there is no doubt OF his
having been killed by the animal.

The Maine Election

In the month of September, 1852, the
Wing papers heralded the statement with in
tense satisfaction, that the Democracy had
been defeated in the State election of that
fall, and that there was IL, 900 majority
against the Democrats in Maine. The N. Y.
Tribune went into Mysteries of joy over the
matter and exultingly declared that "if the
present tide scoops on, PIERCE wiH hardly get
fifty notes." In fact it felt sure that the great
victory in Maine was "sure prestige of sue-
cess'' of the Wings in the Presidential elec-
tion. As it spoke then, it speaks now. The
language in each campaign is almost identi-
cal. Read what it said in 1852:
Friends of Gen. Scott zoe kno1 ,ohereof ,ce af
.frrn chen zoe assure yoa that all goes iceA. We
are no prophet, and cannot say what the future
has in store hut to-day the prestige of success is
all on side and p0rfeRds an ouertchelmino tri-
urnph for Old CRippelca. Take hold with us, and
place his triumph beyond doubt or contingen-
cyl
And such is its language at the present
time, and the predictions then were not more
boastful than now. Everything looked we'll
on paper. The Wings had carried the elec-
ton in Maine by large majority, II, 600 and
1t was an indication portending an over
whelming triumph for old Chippewa But
what was the result? Did the immense
"tide," that prestige of success" which
GREELY saw in the triumph in Maine, of that
year. result in the election of Seorr by an
overwhelming vote? The Presidential elec-
tion came around, and all did not 20 well for
Whiggery. Gen. PIERCE received 254 elec-
toral votes and ScoTT got but 42l If so great
q reverse met the Wings after their great
triumph at the State election in Maine in
1852, If the results then falsiied all their con-
ndent predictions, may not the Democracy
calculate nOU that the result of the present
predictions of the black republicans after their
grea. success in the State election of Maine
this year, will result as disastrouslv 10 that
party in the Presidential election of this vear
~ 10 did 10 the Wings in 1852? .
