France aid England have lost many Thousands OF
men. and a vast amount Of treasure; Russia is re-

In politics i have only one fact to cOmmuhic ate:

River, north Of Boca del Toro. 1t 10 within the

A number OF leading mercantile firms in Philadelphia
prest nted Mr. Geo. b. Mathew, late British Consul at
that port, with complimentary letter previous to his
departure for England, in winch they say:

The Game of EalsehO0d. .

The Pioneer has one candidate on it's tick
ct, who, happening to be a man that is per-
sonally respectable citizen, clucks over
him and ''fusses" around him like an old hen
we have at our house, who happened acct
dentally, last summer, to hatch out one
chicken from full setting of eggs: The one
pet chicken from the added nest of the Pr
oneer is CHAMBLIN-and Chamblin has ram
med his Shanghai legs so far through his in
cubating mothers breeches as to make her
believe be never sought the Republican nom
ination-in other words, that he, as "Dem-
ocratic" candidate, is not the leapi,gs of the
Republicans of the First Ward. If this
new democratic" game cock wishes US to
expose his duplicity by the responsible names
of his neighbors of the First Ward, he may
pursue his present course of falsehood. We
charge back that he did seek the Republican
nomination in the First Ward District we
are prepared to prove the fact by men that he
dare not dispute before their face or behind their
backs.
We are further prepared to prove that
Chamblin has never been true man to the
interests of st. Paul-that from his first res
,idence here he has been constant croaker
against the prosperity of our city-the city
that has given him munificent start in
business.

GOVERNOR FLOYD ON FusroN.-After the
Ex-Governor of Virginia had finished read
ing his speech yesterday, at the Merchants
Exchange, he attempted to make an apology
for his Lynchburg speech, which we pub
lished yesterday morning. He stated that
when he made his speech in Lynchburg, he
believed that the great adversary Of Democ-
racy was the American Party but, since
he came North, his opinions have undergone
great change, and he avows his readiness
to give his vote in the Electoral College for
Fillmore, if the earth should opap and swol
low him up for it, if, by SO doing, he gould
defeat the Republican candidate. Virginia,
he says, will back him, too, in this determip-
alton. There is an awful squirting at custom
with the Know Nothings in this terrific
threat of the Ex-Governoy, and it gives
countenance to the strange rumors which
have been in circpiatiun, that there is Sc
rious intention among the Democrats of
dropping Buchanan, and uniting all the Anti
Republican forces on Fillmore. 1t is an old
adage, that where there is will there is a
way, but, in this case, the will is good
enough, but the way is the great difficulty

Whilst the Richmond Enquirer is engaged
in argument upon the value of the Union
to the North" we offer two or three collate-
"a! facts, which We should be glad to see
worked into the web of the Enquirer's argu-
ment;
PosYAGE.-The annual receipts from post
age in the slave states are ST. 1885, 1884, and
the cost of mail transportation is $2OS7,
236. Postage in the free states, $4,39l
$50; cost of mail transportation is $2,3Sl
COZ, which all goes to prove how the suffer
ing South is oppressed by the North.
HOUSE OF REpREsENTATIvEs-T free
states have l44 members, the slave states
90 members. One free state member repre-
sents 9l,935 white men and women one
slave state member represents 68,725 whites
The slaye states have 80 members in the
House of Representatives founded on slave
representation.
u. S. SENArE.-The free states, with a
white population of 3,23S,6 $40, have 80 Sc
majors. The slaye states, with population
of 6,l76,477, have 3G Senators, so that every
Alb, 70S free men of the North have only the
same representation in the Senate as every
2O5 ,2l5 citizens of the slave states.
To our simple apprehension this would
prove that the Union, which the Enquirer
holds in such light esteem, has a positive va
lue for the South.

News having been received at Granada, a
short time since, that Q party Of men adj

rancho at San Jacinto, General Walker dis
patched party of 40 men, under Licuten-

made the attack, but finding the party too
strong to. warrant an assault, retired with a
loss Of men killed and wounded, leaving
a small number to watch the enemy. He
turned to Granada with the remainder of his
troops On RECEIPT of the news at Granada,
party of citizens, numbering about 60 men,
headed by Leutenant-C Colonel Cole, Assist
ant Quartermaster General, Lieutenant R.
Milliken, aud Mr.. Wiley Marshall, yolpn-

WHAT's THE MATTER Now Bennett Of
the New York Herald, has declared publicly
that he will not vote for Fremont and that
he should support Judge Parker, the Demo,
cratic candidate for Governor in that state.
1t has been apparent for some time that the
Herald man was extremely sorry he ever run
up the Mariposa flag, but we hardly expect
ed that he would ,recant so soon. Rats, it
is said, always leave . sinking ship
In the polite Language of the Pioneer, of.

was penned in the Pioneer Office, its editor
must have had before him late numbers Of

.sertion. We would scarcely have referred
to this bald falsehood, however, had not an
extremely weak-backed Republican brother

There is now very little doubt, if Penn

the sun rises on that day-that the next

board will be the declination of "old Buck''

case of the contingency named above. We
have had no doubt that this was the de,mier
resort, ever since the result transpircd of the
Wheatland conference between Mr.. Buchan-

weeks since.
Well, in the language of the general worid
without, we say, "let her rip!' The game
is most desperate one for those who play
it, and will certainly ensure the election of
Fremont and Dayton, if doubt existed of
that fact even with both the opposition can

will see the names of Fillmore and Brecxen-

A Buchanier's opinion of His Candi'
date.
Below will be found an extract which ap
peared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, (now
a strong Buchanan paper) in the issue o.
that sheet Oct. %, 1851. What was true
then is just as true now, and We commend
this extract to the careful perusal of think.
ing men of all parties, for in it there is a
great deal of truth.
y The small and malignant clique
who wear the name of James Buchanan on
their collars, are endeavoring to sell the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania into the hands Of
the South Carolina traitors. James Blu
chanan never was elected by the people to
any office, except when he was Federalist.
HE HAS NOT ONE THROB OF DEMO
CRATIC FEELING. ABOUT HIS COLD
FLOODED BACHELOR HEART. He
could not receive the votes of oqse-third of
the people for any office. And yet by the
force of management Of the basest kind of po-
liticsi machinery, he has been able, for years
past, to crush the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania, to hang about its neck like mill
stone, to kill every professional thought in
its bosom. He and his tools virtually gave
the State to Taylor in l848, and if Bigler is
Defeated good and noble man-you may
charge it to James Buchanan, who, like the
old mand in the history of Sinbad the sailor,
now hangs on Bigler's neck.
+ T.
we hate this sham statesman James Bu-
ehananl who, Ike colossal h6ckster, sits
on the top Of the Alleghanies, offering to
sell Pennsylvania-to sell her future and her
past--to South Carolina or the Deyil. for a
chance in the Presidential rattle.

tract is from an Administration organ, the
editor of which is'now Post Master at Cleve-

HEAVY BETA Buchanan man, named
VIM. Dobbins, of Troy, Pa, yesterday NOR
ming, made an offer, at one of our hotels, to
bet 81 900 that James BUCHANAN would be
elected by the people the next President of
the United States. The offer was no sooner
made than gentleman from Minnesota, a
Mr. Hodge, pulled out draft on New York
for the amount, and Mr.. Dobbins had roluc-
family to close the bet with his Western
friend. Mr.. Hodge, in turn, offered to bet
with Mr.. D. $500 that Pennsylvania would
go for Fremont, which he at first declined,
but finally went away to call on a friend to
get his note endorsed for that amount. prom
ising to return in short time Some appre-
tensions are felt for his safety, as Mr.. Hodge

DETECTION OF CopNrERFEITs.- bust
Rgess men have had cal, during the past
few days, from J. S. Corbin, Esq whom
they recommend as teacher of a system
for de tect;ng counterfeit notes. He is pre-
pared to give such instruction in the detec-
ton of spurious bills that any person of or
binary powers of observation may learn in a
few minutes TO tell at once the best counter
fe;ts.from the genuine. Mr., g. has large
variety of specimens, which the untutored
eye would hesitate to pronounce upon; but
after receiving the clue would be able to lay
them of, the genuine and spurious, in their
respective places. A small amount laid out
for such instruction, with set of invaluable
rules for future reference viii prove valua-
bic Investment for business men in these
days, when counterfeit and altered bills are
multiplying on every side. The knowledge
is worth obtaining to those who handle but
little money.

SHOCKING SUIcIDE.-The Stevens Port
Pinery has the account of the death by his
own hand Of Mr.. George Beamish, of Oasis.
His wife seems to have been a heartless
woman who drove him to the desperate act.
He went out into corn field 20 rods from
the house, sat down by shock of corn and
scratched the following words on the breech
of gun:
MARGARET am gone, but don't mind;
l think you can do better without me my
mind is in such state that am afraid
should lose every thing if stay with YOU.
do not blame any one for my misfortune
am not calculated to live and do anything
for myself and children; think you can dc
better alone SO take care of yourself and
the dear children, and God be With and
bless me and you, my dear girl.

His wife heard the gun discharged, but
made no search for her husband. The body
was found next day, seated by the shock O
corn, with the head blown to pieces.--Mt
