data upon which to predicate the amount
at which the authorities paid for most Of
the articles used in tho volunteer service,

were sold, for scrip, at the recent sale.
We are well satisfied the result will show,

who were accompanying him to the Dalles
His body has recently been found by o
party from the Dalles, who had volunteered
to go out in search of him. The wild
beasts had eaten almost the entire flesh
from his bones, leaving enough of identity
to know that it was the rema!ns of Capt

MAYOR Wood ON MANIFEST DrsrIvv

MAYOR Wood ON MANIFEST DESTINY
A noticeable feature in the message Of
Mayor Wood, Of New York, is his 1ndis.
guised and emphatic declaration of belief
in the manifest destiny doctrine No
"pent up Utica" restrains bis vision. but in
the imagination he sees the whole boupdlesg
continent ours. 1t is evident from the fol.
lowing passage, that Mayor Wood is not
partial to British dominion or colonization
in Central America, and that he would
scarcely be at all the pains taken by Mr..
McKeOn to arrest the march Of manifest
destiny under Gen, Walker:
'"The influence which control the rise and
fall of empires find no better illustration
than in the history Of Spanish dominion in
America. The end of what is left Of it is
obvious 1t must soon be oblitcrated,
Let us prepare to fill the vacancy which.
in spite of ourselves, awaitsour occupation.
The same destiny which first sent the sous
of Spain to debauch and conquer the Indian:
and then the more hardy sons of Britain.
on turn, to succeed them, with liberal In
stitutions, upon which to erect u might5
self-controling political power, will direct
the further progress of the republican prin-
ciple under the stars and stripes, until not
only Mexico, but, in the not distant future,
the whole Of Central America will acknowk
edge our sway and become a portion Of
this confederation of independence"

The DIsUNIoN PETITION IN THE Ono
SENATE.-The following is the report Of
the Committee Of Federal Relations in the
Senate, TO which was referred the petition
of certain persons Of Salem, Columbiana
county, praying the, Legislature to take
the necessary measures to obtain peace
aple dissolution Of the Union:-
The Committee on Federal Relations, To-
whom was referred the memorial on behalf
of the Western anti-Slavery Society, pray
ing dissolution OF the Union, respectfully
submitted the following report: Your
committee have given all the consideration
to the subject ofthe memorial that its i'm
portance demands. They are free to ad-
nit that the federal government, like all
human governments, has its imperfections,
and that those who administer it are not
infallable. Still your committee believe
that in its principles and workings it approx
mates more nearly to realization Of the
wants of mankind than any one that has
preceded it, and much more nearly than
any one that would be likely to rise upon
its ruins. Your committee take pleasure
in saying that there is no considerable por-
ton of the people of Ohio who directly sym
pathise with the purpose Of the memorial
lists. Loyalty to the confederacy Of these
States aud unfaltering adherence TO the
obligations of the federal constitution are
predominating characteristics Of our people.
That though they are not Indifferent TO
the great question Of human liberty, they
believe it is the part Of wisdom to retain
in its purity the political, religious, educa.l
tional and social privileges which we now
enjoy, and extend those privileges 70 the
whole human family as fast as due regard
to the rights of all parts Of the confederacyl
will permit. $3.50 ~
For these, and variety of reasons that
might be stated, your committee, in the
most decided and emphatic manner, con-
demn the reasonable objects Of the mem
orialists, and ask to be discharged From The
further consideration Of the subject. il'i

From the WaIIa WaTIa Valley.

BY a letter received from the Walla
Walla Valley, by last express, we learn
that nearly all the hostile tribes of Indians
east of the Cascades, had arrived in and
about the camp of Gov. STEVENS and party
and that, in truth, portion of them arc
really hostile. Some eleven of the chiefs Of
the hostile bands were there, belonging tc
the tribes Of the Umatillas, Des Chutes
Walla Wallos, Coyuscs, John Days, and
Yakimas. A majority of these chiefs, VIC
learn, are in favor of peace while young
Ouhi, and part of the Yakima band, are
in favor of carrying on the war, and it is
the opinion that the majority will rule
that in the course of short time peace
will be made with all. The grass had been
burnt of for considerable distance around
Gov STEVENS camp, and some expectation
was entertained that an attack would be
made upon the party. Indeed an apparent
effort was made by some of the hostiles, to
cut of a portion of the train, upon which,
Gov. STEVENS sent one of the Interpreters
to speak with them They said they did
not wish to molest the whites, but were mad
with the Ncz Perces. They afterwards
came into camp and made quite a show,
displaying a great number Of captured hor,
ses aud mules, branded "U. s." and 20. T."
The Governor has settled all matters Of
difficulty with the Nez Perces satisfactorily,
and, it is thought, that he will also arrange
matters paciGcally with the hostiles. He
expected to be able to leave the Council
ground iu the valley about the goth ult.,
and was expected at the Dalles the first Of
last week. The reception of the Nez Per
ces was said to have been rather a grand
affair. They were well mounted, and well
dressed, and as all know, are excellen horse
men.
That ddrc-dcra VIC TREylr, had arrived
at the Dalles from Fort Colville, at the
date Of our letter, whittier he had gone with
party Of French and half-breeds, with ar.
ticles for trade with miners there. He
made his way down from Colville by water,
in six days. On his way out, he struck the
camp of Kamiakin-had talk with him,
and was suffered to pass on unmolested-
being informed, by that chief, that the
whites had his permission to pass through
his country on peaceable missions-only
war parties need fear anything from him OF
his his people.
Miners in the Colvile region ore said to
be doing exceedingly we'll The recent dis
coveries Of gold deposits there, have crea-
ted quite a rush among the people at the
north The mines appear to be paying
better than they had heretofor been sup
posed they could be made to do.

Iugusl Elections in the several States.

August Elections III the several STATES.
By express We have received the result
of all the States wRsh voted in August,
and it is gratifying to the Democracy that,
with one exception, the majOrities have
been largely Democratic The exception
alluded to is Iowa, which, from some cause
or other, "a solution of which may be found
in the approaching presidential election),
has wheeled out of the Democtatic line,
and into the ranks Of Niggerism and Flu
sionism, giving an opposition majority Of
perhaps 1000 throughout the State. For
some time past at least since the agitation
of the Kansas matter, there can be but
little doubt but what an extraordinary
effort has been made to carry this and all
other Western free States against the De
mocracy. The ides Of November will dem
onstrate whether or not the Niggerites
will carry either Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois
or Indiana, or any one of the Western free
States.
The returns of the election before us
show a footing up decidedly gratifying for
the success of Buchanan throughout the
Mississippi valley.
Old Kentucky, which las been for over
a quarter of century the stamping
ground" of the late Wing party, under the
leadership of Clay, Crittenden and others,
has turned complete summerset, and
where last year the Know NothingS reigncd
triumphant, this year has repudated the
party of the fowls and bats" and has given
an aggregate majority Of from four to five
thousand for the friends and supporters of
Buchanan. The dark and bloody ground "
stands now completely redeemed and dis
enthralled from all fusion Know Nothing
ism. Three cheers for old Kentucky !!
Thus ever leather stand.
North Carolina, another reliable old-line
Wing State, has given her "idols to the
moles and the bats mot the bat party
has elected Democratic Legislature and
Governor by larger majority than she has
given for many years.
Missouri also stands reliably Democratic,
by a very large majority The Benton
electoral ticket for Buchanan has been
withdrawn from the contest. Neither
Fillmore nor Fremont have "shadow Of
a shade" Of chance of carrying Missouri.
Arkansas, another hot-bed Of prescription
and intolerance, has been overcome by a.
reported aggregate majority of about 1000.
There, again, the Know Nothings have
been completely rubbed out
Alabama has again proved true TO her
self, by rolling up o Democratic majority
Of from eight to ten thousand.
In Texas the supporters of Buchanan
have carried everything before them.
This winds up the returns of the August
State elections. They are reliable and
significant. The elections for September
will probably be received by the next
States mail, further indicating, as we firmly
believe, the uhquestionable result Of Bu-
chanan's election in November In oil the
Southern States the contest was waged
between Buchanan and Fillmore. Now
the question is, will Fillmore be able to
carry the electoral vote of any one single
State? If the Black Republicans are true
to their professions, he will certainly not
be able to carry one in the North or West.
The game is made.

REMARKABLE PHENoMENoN.-We are in
dcbted to Mr.. j. Kitchens, for the partic-
ulars Of one of the strangest phenomena
that we have heard Of for long time.
During the thunderstorm that visited this
vicinity on Wednesday, 9th ult, the cleo
trio fuid struck large bluff Of rocks which
crosses Dutch Creek, about three miles
from town, and getting over charged with
the fuid the rock burst into pieces. Frag-
ments weighing from eight to ten tons were
thrown q distance Of fifty feet, breaking
down q fume which crossed the creek near
by. The surface of the fragments is black
ened on the broken sides, and o cavity
about the size of mans head is formed in
the solid granite. 1t has white crust
around the edge, and the sulphurous smell
is very great-caused by the decomposition
of sui phuret of iron, with which the rock
is impregnated, and which probably at
tracted the Observation-Disclosures Paper.
