approval of the exhibition. and the

We have determined upon this public
avowal in order that those who are stran-
gers 10 the true character OF the enter
prise alluded to, may not do it injustice
by ranking it among the ordinarily inju-
rious travelling performances of the day.
Considered merely as a painting, this
work has by the concession of all great
artistic merit. Admirably has the author

The e1cellenlly expressed explanations

Messrs. Editors On Thursday Last,
the Republicans of Hubbard held a grand
Mass Meeting. 1 was present on the
occasion, and took a deep interest in see

Although the roads were very muddy
from previous rains, and a cold drizzling
rain continued during the most of the
day, yet we did not hear the crowd pres

of the finest raised this season-one hun

Indian Murders Eeroism of Little Boy

The following notice is from the N. Y.
Times
On the morning of The 9Th Of Octo.
Der, 1856. whiio Mr.. Harvey II. Jones,
a settler on the banks Of the White
River. in Washington Territory, was ly-
ing sick in his bed, a party of Indians
commenced firing on his house, and
killed Mr.. Jones at the first vOllcv. Mrs.
Jones, who was eating breakfast at the
time of the assault, immediately returned
the fire of tn Indians with a navy revolt
yer, and after having succeeded in
wounding one of them in the foot, was
herself shot in the side, and thereby dis
abled from making any further resist
ance. Immediately upon her ccasing to
fire upon them. the Indians approached
and set FIRE to the house. At this june
ture a lad named John j. King, who is a
child of Mrs. Jones by a former mar
rage, and but seven years of age, in
CURED of his mother what he should do.
She directed him 10 take his brother and
sister-the former two and the latter four
years old-and endeavor to find shelter
in the house of a Mr.. Thomas, who Ie-
sided Two miles distant. The little fel.
low Immediately complied with the re-
quest of his mother, taking the infant on
his back and his sister by the hand. and
although an Indian exploded lour caps
in ~endeaYoring to shoot him, and was
only prevented from further efforts by a
popular superstition Of his tribe, succeed
ed in reaching his destination, only to
be disaT pointed by finding that Mr..
Thomas. himself had fled with his family
and was nowhere to be found. The
brave boy then continued his way down
the river for another mile. when he was
met by a friendly Indian, who took the
children in his canoe, and covering the
two younger with his blankets, proceed
ed TO Seattle, where they arrived the next
day, and were received on board the
Decatur, which brought them 10 this
place. After the escape of the children,
the Indians dragged Mrs. Jones from
the house by the hair, and killed her by
the blow of an axe on the temple. The
body of Mr.. Jones was consumed with
the house."
The boy above alluded to, was in our
Office one day last week. with his uncle,

most remarkable of which we have ever

Republicans! Work.

A contemporary says, thus far in the
campaign the Republicans as a party,
have talked too much, and worked too
little. There has been TOO much gloriG-
cation, too many and lofty spread eagle
flights of rhetoric, and too little time
and talent given to the serious BUSINESS
Of carrying on the the war in earnest.
This is too true. Throughout the
whole country, the party has relied too
strongly upon the justice Of their cause,
have been dizzy with the first flush of
victory in Maine, Iowa and Connecticut,
and had settled down in the conviction
that the tide was rolling on its resistless
way, and they would be borne on in
triumph, without lifling an oar, or max.
ing one earnest struggle. They have
discovered now, that they ride upon a
stormy sea, and the utmost strength, and
skill of every mariner will be needed to
guide their ship safely to IFS destined
port. Their vain glorious confidence has
received a check in time, and henceforIh
let them while fully conscious of the
danger Of defeat, be equally consci US
that they have the strength to crush all
opposition, if they will only use it,
We are not sorry for this temporary
defeat, il only shows the necessity of
earnest and ardent labor. The Cincin-
natl Commercial SAYS:
But there's a work TO do. The con-
centrated capital invested in three mill
ion Africans, the cowardly old foIy con-
serTat;sm of the North with lis cash and
corpulence of responsibility" the stu
penduous power of the standing army Of
Office seekers under the command of The
President, the vast machinery Of the
post Office, and the drilled ranks of the
F'llmorn, rs. present a formidable but Ger
tsinly not impreguable array of obstacles
to the success of the Republicans. But
ten days remain for the war. II is the
season of the year when the people in
the country are most at leisure. There
is the strength of the F~remonters, and
let every possible preparation be made
TO put it forth to the Utmost. The lime
for huge mass meetings and oslentatious
display is passed. and the day for neigh
borhood caIvassing has come. The
question, the great and only question of
the campaign, should be brought before
the mind Of every voter. A sensible and
energetic man TO 60 about among his
aeighbors, and drive into their under
standings the solid facts of the clear case
before the people, is worth more now
than a ponderous stump speaker. who
may make q display of his watch chain
and command of language, withoutshow-
ing up the sharp points at issue between
the parties. There are but ten days
to wok-and the world was made in less
than ten days.

The South Raising Money for PenRsyl-
Vania.

An appeal has been made TO the slave
holding States for money TO carry the
Pennsylvania election. One reason urg
ed in the appeal is, that 'tAe Democrats
in the Free States are fighting our battles
for u.s." Therefore, adds this document,
pennsylvania must be saved at all ha-
Yards" This appeal was intended to
be strictly confidential. but it leaked out.
The N. Y. Times publishes it, and says:
This explains the recent quasi DEM
ccratic success in Pennsylvania. We
have it from good authority that not less
than $3.50. O00 was sent into that State
from the Slaveholding States, in addition
to the $50. 600 contributed by the Roths-
childs, through Mr.. Belmont, and the
500, 600 raised from the bankers and
brokers in Wall street. 1t is probable
that very nearly $500, 600 was expend-

The Buchanan Frauds in P-ennsvlvapi

Inc trducSl q pennsylvania.
There is not a shadow Of doubt that
the most shameful frauds were prac-
tised by the Buchanan party at the cleo
ton in the city of Philadelphia. Al
though the population Of that city is less
by more than one hundred thousand than
that of New York, still more votes were
polled at the last election IN Philadelphia
than ever were polied in New York.
The vote in Philadelphia was GO, 900,
which is 100 more than was polled at
the election FIVE months since. These
facts show that it was impossible that
the votes could all have been cast By
citizens Of Philadelphia, and taken in
connection with the very significant fact
that within the past month a large spec
Ial levy has been made upon the Office
holders at Washington, and elsewhere,
for the purpose of being used in Penn
%sylNania, shows that this money has
been used to import voters into the State.
Hundreds OF these villains are now in the
hands of the officers of the law in Phila
delphia, and they, and their associates
will be taught a wholesome lesson. 1t
is a game they will not play twice.
