Hon. HUMPHREY MARsHALL.-The Louisville
Journal OF the 10th instant, thus announces the
arrival of COL Marshall at his residence:
Col. Marshall arrived in our city yesterday
morning. Last night, after only few hours
notice, an immense throng assembled at the Court
House to greet him. His speech was powerful
one. IL was calm, frank and extemporaneous, but
replete with patriotic appeals and unanswerablc
arguments. He appealed not only to the hearts
but to the judgments Of the people. Col Marshall
is deservedly fayorite with the citizens of Louis
vile, and now occupies the proudest position of
any Representative in Congress. He has achieved
for himself national reputation, and his remarks
are worthy of the earnest consideration of our
people. As soon as we can find room in our
paper we shall publish an abstract of his speech
last night. 1t carried conviction to the minds of
all who heard IL that it the duty of every pat
riot to give bis support to the National American
candidates.

SAN HoUsroN.-The old hero of San Jacinto,
Gen. Sam Houston, went down the Mississippi
last week, in the steamer T. f. TwicheI, and
landed at the mouth of Red river en- route for
Texas. As the boat rounded to at the wharf at
Memphis, large crowd of people called on the
war-worn veteran for his views upon the present
aspect of public affairs. he complied, and gave
them rousing Fillmore and Union speech. The
old General is full of fire yet, and ardently devo-
ted to the. Union. He knows what it cost Texas
to get into the Union, and consequently he has
no notion of getting out of it.

The Vine CoNyENTIoN.--We postpone to-day
Congressional debate, foreign correspondence
multitudinous communications, and nearly every
thing else, to appropriate our space to the pro-
ceedings and speeches in the recent Wing Con-
vention in Baltimore, which, from the great per-
sonal responsibility Of its members and the.import-
ance OF its deliberations, deserves to have its aims
and sentiments placed in the fullest manner before
the country. fit should be objected to this as
semby that it was not entirely national or not ex-
clusvely and purely Whig-that one of its orators
indeed repudiated for it the name of Old-line Wing
lit embodied so much of both of these qualities
as to entitle its recommendations to great consid

say nothing of the intrinsic title TO their respect Of
the eminent citizen whose nomination to the Pres
idency by another party they have approved and

ourselves bestow on its recommendations, with
every disposition to yield to them such favorable
construction and support as fidelity to principle
and a due regard to the peculiar circumstances of
the country shall dictate to us as proper and pa
triotic.--National Intelkgencer.

The ROmanism of Col. Fremont-Captair
ScammOn, of the Army, made a Roman
list by Fremont, &c.
DETROIT, Michigan, Sept. 10.

To the Editors of the ~ Y. Express:
notice that the recent correspondence of Prof
Wier, relative to Fremont's Catholicism, has con-
nected the name of Captain Scammon, of the Army,
with the presentation of the Protestant gift book
by Prof. w. to Fremont. This mention has brought
out the important facts proving Fremont to have
been Catholic. Capt Scammon, of Fremont's
service, and brother of Hon. John Y. Scammon, of
Chicago, is an intimate friend and old companion
of Fremont. He stationed in this city for sew
eral years, and has many warm friends here among
the most respectable Of citizens. He used to speak
often of COL Fremont, while here, and his CONVEX
sation is fresh in the memory of his friends and as.
sociates while here. Capt. Scammon is Roman
Catholic. He was formerly an Epscopalian,
think In his references to Fremont he has often
told his friends here that he was concerted to
Catholicism By Lieut.. Fremont himselft that
Fremont soas a degoted Cvthoiic, and presented
such arguments to his mind as induced him to EN-
brace the same faith
Here, them is evidence of the most tangible and
positive kind, that Fremont is Roman Catholic,
and not of the ordinary kind, either, for he was
even preaching it, and making converts to his fathl
Can Americans who have ever belonged to the
American party, vote for such man ? If anybody
doubts this statement, let them apply to Captain
Scammon. He will not deny his conversation with
his esteemed friend in this city He is a gentle
man of too high sense of honor to do that though
it might reflect on Fremonts political prospects.
Let them apply to Captain s., and he will confirm
every word / write. His friends here, who remem-
Der and state his conversations, are gentlemen
whose word will not be doubtful-gentlemen of
wide reputation and known integrity

Revolutionary scrip =

The demand for 1905 is better than for warrants
of any other size. This arises from the fact that
there is small amount of land subject to private
entry, and the 1908 are sought for by pre-emp.
tors, who are taking advantage of the present low
prices Of warrants TO perfect their titles. The
closing up Of the land offices in the West does
not preclude the pre-emptors from proving their
claims The supply of 1905 is very large, and they
must continue dull.
For the reason stated in our last report we do
not, however, think that the market will fall much
below present rates. if at all, and may advance or
decline figure.
The Pension Office, having got through with the
bulk of claims under the act of 1855, are now
moving slowly in disposing of suspended and ORR
ginal cases The issue since the 1st of August may
be estimated at half million acres per month,
against one million previously.

grave on our banners nothing less than
an entire repeal Of the naturalization

WIFE BEATING ACCORDING TO
SCRIPTURE Recent London papers
report strange case of the perversion
of the Scriptures. The case is thus
stated in the London Illustrated
Times 1.-The Rev. George Bird is
preaching at Wbitehaven, and holding
forth the doctrine that it is perfectly
scriptual for A man to beat his wife !;
he il said to have considerable con
gregation. One of his flock was lately
taken before the magistrates for i'll
using bis wife; the woman SAID she
had no wish her husband should be
punished If he would promise not to
ill-use her badly again. When asked
by the magistrate whether he would
make the requisite promise, he re-
fused, saying, Am to obey the laws
of God or the laws of man r. As he
would not give the promise the magIs-
,raies committed him 10 prison for a
month, with hard labor. The Rev.
Mr.. Bird has since delivered a course
of lectures on the subject of Scou's
conviction. He contends that ii is a
mans duty TO rule his own household !;
and that if his wife refuses TO obey his
orders, he is justified, according 10 the
law of God, in beating her in order to
enforce obedience"
