THR LEPERs IN INDiA.-The neglected con-
dition of those unfortunate beings, the lepers,
has attracted the attention of the Commissioner
of the Trans Sultej States from whose statement
it appears that in Kangea alone there are ], 400
of them. 1t is the benevolent object OF the pro-
poser to build an ASYLUM for these afflicted crea-
ture, where they can have medical treatment and
other attentions to mitigate, If not cure, their
suiferings. This proposition has elected a rcye-
lation of strange state of things from an up
country contemporary, who assures us that in
''the Umritsur district especially the wretchcd
lepers, though cut off from the sympathies Of
their countrymen, enforce their charity after
a method novel as 1t is effectnal, by avalllng
themselves of the horror Decentralization which
is caused by their presence. They form them
selves into large bands, and go about into all
parts where the population is mot sufficiently
resolute to oppose them, and by threats of def
ling with their touch the personsor property of
those who VIII notaccede to their demands, levy
a kind of q black mail from whole pergunnahs.
81 have myself" writes; n correspondent, met
with large parties Of these Umritsur lepers NOV
ing about among the simple and effcIninate races
of the lower hills, mary of them mounted on
ponies, aud assuming an air Of great Importance,
realizing, / was assured, large collections, and
spreading great terror and disgust wherever they
wandered, until the police interfered to restrain
them-a matter which it was found very easy TO
effect" Another curious tnct may be mentions
ed in connection, with the subject. There is
well known sacred tank in Tmritsur district,
whose waters, like those of the pool of Bethesda,
have the virtue of curing one leper on a certain
suspicious day to every year. II may well'he
supposed that the tank is crowded with bathers
on such occasions, and that many of the Incl
dents Of the story in sacred writ are strikingly
recalled. But it must be added that, although
one patient is always cured, yet there is an uu-
Outstanding that if he reveals the fact of his cure
to any human, being, his malady returns with
greater virulence than ever We must not be
surprised, then, if authentic cases of cure are
very rare--lE 1dras, AthenRum.

e. TIE "FFeman's journal Archbishop

~ The "Frenans Journal, Archbishop
Hughes organ, comes out in an article on Col
Frernonts religion, and says that thepretensions
of his friends that he has not been Catholic is
simply ridiculous It further states that Col.
Fremont makes no denial of this. for there are
many persons who hold themselves inTeadiness
to come forward and subs;antiate the fact The
journal farther goes on Tolerate the Republi-
can papers of New York for affecting TO dodge
the issue aud to argue shout his religion, as if
1t was wrong or disgrace for him TO be Of the
Catholic faith
There ia no doubt but what this article Of the
/. journal win have an effect upon the Republicans
Of New York, when coupled with the exposures
the Express has made upon the same subject
We are inclined to think that the Express has
been a sorry thorn in the flesh Of the party, and
while the hand Of the leaders was in so steep n
substituting, it would certainly hare been i'm
uenzeiy into their pockets to have thrown bone
tothe dog Noble, as our respected contempora-
~ has been facetiously styled By Parson Beecher.
Not that We insinuate that our Noble" contem-
porary could have been reached by any such
overture, but that could it have been, it would
havcp proved certainly paying Investment The
InurderOus, unceasing shots from itslocker make
the Tribune, Herald, Post and company vince
terribly, and no doubt they look upon its daily
broadsidcs, something ike the Russian General
did, when Mt the storrning of the; MalakoR and
Redan, he wrote 'the Gre of the enemy is really

If this state of things continues we may look
for n large stampede from the Republicans to Mr..
Fillmore, and thereby ensuring tina vote, by plu.
rality, 70 Mr.. Buchanan. The Daily News in q

Democratic vote would be $4,000. Whether
this be the result or NOT, we count upon the di-

FROM JIBERIA.

By the arrival of the HinqFisteI.at New York
few dayssince, letters were received from sew
eral who have emigrated from this city to Libe-
ria within the past two or three years. Among
them is one from Mr. J. D. johnson, late of VIII
liamsburgh, showing that fresh impetus has
been given to the development of the resources
of that Republic. The steam sugar mill which
was sent out in the brig General Pierce 1.-THE
arrival out of which we have already noticed
has been set up and is in successful operation,
and sugar cane is being planted on ten-fold lar
ger scale than heretofore. An extract from this
letter does so much credit to another late emf
grant from this city, and presents so hopeful
view ofthe future the Republic as the result
oftis energy, that we make room for it.:
'tMr J. d. Richardson, from New York, has
cut and cultivated one hundred acres of wild
land in two years seYenty-five of which is now
in sugar cane and twenty-five in rice and casa
da. He has also about thirty acres which he
uses for the maintenance Of his cattle and has
brick and lumber yard He has four yoke of
fine oxen, some used in blowing, some with
carts, and others hauling lumber for house frames
which he sells. He has from fifty to sixty men
or BOYS ON the place, al doing something, and
withal he is doing well. He has only the real
manual labor school have seen in Liberia. He
has those who get timber, saw plank, make
brick, till the land, aud work at bl0cksnithing,
bodybuilding, carpentering, &c. He has five

people to live in. he has a school every night
for all hands, in which he teaches reading,
writing, aud arithmetic, &C., after which he
reads from the Bible and explains it President
Benson-who, By the way, we find to be the
very man for the place he fills-says Mr. R. is
one of the best men who ever came to Liberia"
From other letters we learn that Mr.. Richard.
sons place consists of 4l2 acres, with 10000
coffee trees set out lie made 100000 bricks
last season. He was about breaking in eight
other pairs ofoxen for hauling sugar cane, logs,
&c, and was making arrangements to procure
a sugar mill, driven by steam engine of suffi-
Gent power TO operate at the same time saw
mill, grind corn, hull rice, &c. Mr.. Richardson
expects he will be able to ship from 100 to 200
hhds. of sugar his first grinding.
Mr. johnson also writes that company has
been formed to make a new agricultural settle
ment about twenty miles from the coast back of
Cape Mount, and that small steamer is much
needed to make daily trips between the settle.

the territory were unchanged. The pro-slavery
forces had been quarreling among themselves
and were almost entirely disbanded
Lane was growing very blold and insulting,

~ The Baltimore papers Of Saturday even
ing contain detailed accounts of the great riot,
which occurred in that city on Light Street, On
Friday evening last We have space but fOrthe
origin of tho bloody affray, and the names ofthe
dead and wounded, which we take from the
American:
"The most terrible riot that has taken place in
our city for many years occurred about six
o'clock yesterday afternoon on Light street. next
70 the corner OF Little Church street near War
ren. The fruitful source of the most OF tho RI
OTIS Of late was tho Cause Of the Afray, three fish
ing clubs having been engaged in the conflict.
It appearS that one Of these clubs, known as the
Wsinpanoags, and located in that vicinity, was
escorted home by the Mount Clare Association
aud the Rip Rap fishing club. They several
times passed the Seventeenth Ward House, kept
by James Clark, where a slight difficulty occur
red earlier in the day. When they passed the
house the last time, one of the Wampanpoga's
Jagged behind and cheered for Fillmore, which
was responded 70 by n man on the sidewalk nam
ed John Carter, who cheered for Bnehanah--
These parties then took hold o; each other when
several otheFsinterfered. The fishing clubs then
returned, when the party in front of the house
commenced firing pistols The fire was return
ed, and for half hour the conflict was terrible,
men, women and children being shot down at
every turn. Those Of the ishing clubs who
were not provided with arms commenced throw
ing stones, and the street was literally COW
cred with them. The conteDding parties rec
manned at close quarters, and it is only wonder
full that much larger number was not killed.
Most Of those injured, as is usual in such cases,
had no part in the ARRAY.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The following lisa list of the killed and wounds
ed as far as ascertained:
