The s'Squatter Sovereign" published at

General Atchison, with two hundred of
his ncighbors, have made their arrangements
to remove to this Territory early in the
spring. He will locate in the neighborhood

even a greater profit than that. We have

can raise, and it Will continue so for all time
to come. We receive by every mail, both
from our private correspondents and in the

DESPERATE AFFRAY INA SCHOOL HOUSE.
The Lebanon (Tenn.) Herald of the 24th
ult., gives the following account of terri
BILE and fatal fight in a school-room in Will
son county, in that States:
1.-The most distressing homicide was ever
heard of occurred in this county, about sew
on miles northeast of Lebanon on last Mon
day morning was week ago, between Rufus
Watson and his three sons on the one side,
and two sons of John New on the other
The unfortunate difficulty occurred in a
school room. Young New, aged about
nineteen years, was shot through the heart
and expired Immediately; and his little
brother, some thirteen or fourteen years of
age, was almost literally cut to pieces--re-
ceiving no less, we learn, than seven dan
gerous wounds. Strange as it may appear
he is still living, and hopes are entertained
of his recovery. Rufus Watson received
the contents of pistol loaded with birdshot,
in the breast, but was not seriously hurt
The difficulty grew out of an old grudge that
has existed between tbs heads of the res
pective families.

PRINTING IN TIE WOODS.

The following from the Wisconsin mir
ror," Jan. l, will give an idea of American
newspaper enterprise:
1--WE are doing what, perhaps, has never
been done in the United States before-we
are printing the Wisconsin 'sMirror'' in the
woods mot a dwelling, except our own,
within half mile of US, and only one with
in mile of us! The forest oak hangs
over our Office and dwelling, the deer and
rabbits shy around US, and the patridges and
quails seek our acquaintance by yenturing
nearer and nearer our doors. The noble
Wisconsin is bearing onward its immense
burdens of ice, majestically and silently,
within sight of our windows; and the snow
capped hills covered with scattering oaks
and pines, peer up in the distance. There
is romance and reality in all this, and we
feel almost willing to publish paper in such
a location, just for the excitement of the
thing. But most of this romance is soon to
be spoiled. Already several dwellings are
III progress near US, and before many weeks
they are to be occupied by enterprising
neighbors; and then, when Spring and Sum-
mer shall come, we expect such a clatter of
axes, and spades, and trowels, and hammers,

practical means of obtaining in each county

tablish line of first class steamships, be-
tween European ports and any southern
port of this Union.
Mr.. J. B. DeBowe, of louisiana offered the
following resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolred, That when this Convention
adjourns, it will djourn to meet at Savannah
Georgia, on the second Monday an Dece'n-
Der nert.
ResoEUed, That the objects of this Con-
vention, as developed at its several sittlngs
in Memphis, Charleston and New Orleans
being to secure to the Southern States the
utmost amount of prosperity as an integral
part of the Federal Union, or to enable
them to yindicate and maintain their rights
and institutions, in any event, matters are
all pertinent and cognizable which relate to
the development of our soil, the enlargement
of our internal improvement system, our
domestic trade and direct foreign commerce,
mines, manufactures and the arts-the
social system and institutions of the South
our schools, colleges and press-and that
delegates are invited to bring with them, or
forward in their absence, such statistical
and other information as may be necessary
to- discuss and report upon these and
kindred subjects, in order to secure the most
practical results.
Rcsolred, That the people in their primary
assemblies, for the purpose of sending dele
gates, be invited to express their opinion
upon the objects indicated above, Sc that
their delegates may be thoroughly advised
Of their wishes.
Resozved, That the thanks of the Con-
yention are due, and hereby rendered for
the hospitable and munifcent attentions
| they have received from the Board of Trade,
the Committee of Arrangements, and the
| citizens of Richmond, for the very handsome
| preparations they have made for its accom-
! mediation.
| On motion, made by Mr.. Meade, and
due and hereby rendered to the President
and Secretary of the Convention for the
able and impartial manner in which they
have discharged the duties of their offices.
! A motion was then made that the Con-
ventiOn adjourn. Before putting the ques-
ton, President Tilghman came forward and
addressed the Convention; and at the con-
clusion of his remarks the Convention ad-
iourned, sine die.

CONGRESSIONAL RESTRICTIONS

The Supreme Court of the United States
has in three different instances decided that
the Ordinance of 1880 was superseded by
the Constitution. Jefferson, Madison, Mum
roe, Jackson, Polk, Taylor, Calhoun, Clay
ton, and in fact nearly all our leading
statesmen, were Of the same opinion. Mr..
Clay, in his speech of 1890, against the
Missouri restriction, said:
Under the Constitution, no restriction
can be placed upon new State, asking for
admission into the Union, that was not
placed upon the old thirteen States. Every
State admitted into the Union, must stand,
in all things, upon an equality with the old
States. Congress cannot place upon any
new State, or upon any Territory that NAV
hereafter apply for admission as a State, any
restriction that will attach to the State or
her people, after it is admitted into the
union; for, when admitted. each State AID
her people must have all the pre-existing
States. Each State, and the people thereof,
have the right to determine for themselves
whether slavery shall or shall not exist
within her borders. Such restriction as
this, is an act OF gross injustice to the
people who, in after years, may inIabit the
territory north of-the proposed line; is an
act unauthorized by the Constitution of the
United States. - Bridgeport Farmer.

A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL ON
PEACE

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in late
discourse at the Plymouth Church, Brook
lyn, n. Y, of which he is Pastor, said, as
reported by the New York Evening Post a
Free Soil paper:
He believed that the Sharp rife was truly
moral agency, and that there was more NOR
al power in one of those instruments, so far
Us the shareholders of Kansas were concern
ed, than in a hundred Bibles. You might
Just as we'll, said he, read the Bible to Butfa-
loes as to those fellows who follow Atchison
and Stringfellow; but they have supreme
respect for the logic that is embodied in
Sharp's rifles. The Bible is addressed to
the conscience, but when you address it to
them, it has no effect-there isno conscience
there. Though he was peace man, he
had the greatest regard for Sharp's rifles,
and for that pluck that induced those New
England men to use them.
What respect has Beecher himself for
''the Bible" when he thus speaks of it .
What respect has he, protested minister
of the Gospel, for the sacred volume, when
he thus shamelessly declares that there is
more moral power in one of Sharp's rifles,
so far as the shareholders of Kansas arc con-
cerned, than in hundred Bibles? What
respect has he for the peaceful teachings of
Christ, who, from the sacred desk, preach
es war and bloodshed as preferable to the
Gospel? An open infidcl may claim res
pect at least for frankness, but he who "steals
the livery Of the Court of Heaven to serve
the Devil in" deserves the universal con-
tempt and execration of all mankind.
We pass by his abuse of Kansas slave
holders. Even upon the ground that they are
as bad as represented, his blasphemous al
lusions to the Bible are equally unpardona-
bic. When the Master, whom Beecher
processes to serve, appeared on EARTH he
made publicans and sinners the objects of
his peculiar kindness. He did not preach
of Sharp's rifles nor any other weapons of
war. If he ever suffered the language of
severity to rest upon his tongue, it was when
he denounced self-righteous hypocrites =
Nor need we comment upon. Beecher's safe
display of valor in Brooklyn pulpit. We
suspect that, if he were really put to the
test, he would be found in the same catego-
ry with belicOse preacher in Scotland
who, having encouraged his flock to BATTLE
was found, in the heat of the action, snuglv
ersconced behind tree. When asked what
he was doing there, he replied that he was
wrestling in prayer

Another Indian Outrage i'm Fla.
MASSACRE OF FIVE MEN.

a wood party, consisting of corporal
and five privates, with two wagons and
twelve mules, were fired upon by some ff-
teen Indians, about four miles from Fort
Deynaud, On the morning of the 18th inst
As far as known, only one man, Private
Petermen, of Company c., escaped; he
made his way to Fort Deynaud, and report
ed the attack. Peterman received q slight
wound in the calf of his leg.
Lieut. Larned, who, with company of
men, went in pursuit of the Indians, returned
and reported that he found the two wagons
loaded with cypress poles, and twelve mules
dead. All the mules were shot behind the
ears, indicating that they were deliberately
killed, and not by a general random shot.
The wagon and harness were uniniured.-
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1856-02-12

No signs of the missing men, neither bloc
or dead bodies, or even any track of them,
were discovered.
The unfortunate party were armed, but
owing to the fact that no Indian signs had
been discovered in that region since the de-
monstration of the Goth, they felt quite Sc
eure-believing that the indians had gone
further southland, consequently, the at
tack was quite unexpected. The attack
was led by Okchan, sub-chief, who is exas-
pcrated at the destruction of his village By
the troops, which occurred short time
since.
