CHILD CARRIED OFF BY BEAR.-One of those
fearful incidents occurred near the town of Neosh.
ita, on Saturday last, which goes so far to
create that thrilling interest in the written 70.
nance of the pioneers life. just before sunset
a child five years old was seized in the presence
of its mother by full grown bear, andfn spite
of its screams and the frantic efforts of its moth

given, and men with guns and other implements
of destruction, commenced searching the woods,
but up to Tuesday, nothing had been found on
which to base conjecture with reference to its
fate. Bears are quite plenty in the neighborhood

the general result, 81 900 on Pennsylvania, and
81 900 on Illinois, was very quietly offered by a

find the money on the opposite side! He called
upon the Pioneer people in ample time, but they
"warn't thar with their $1,000!

From the New Orleans Bulletin, Aug. ~.
The Popular Movement for Fremont.

The contest at the South being confined to Fill
more and Buchanan, people are little aware Of
the immense revolution that has taken place at
the North in favor of the cham. ion of the Re-
publicans. The party press delude the people in
the belief that their favorite candidate is the only
one that has the least chance of being elected.
This is not only mistaken policy, but it is wrong
in principle. 1915
No honest journal will gainsay the fact that the
cause of Free Soilism is gaining ground, and
that the election of Fremont is not an improbable
contingency. It would be an event that not only
every man at the South, but every patriot, every
Union man in the country, North as well as South,
should most earnestly deprecate. Yet the catas-
trophe, for such it would be, cannot be blinked
avoided by treating it with either indifference,
scorn or ridicule.
Our unsophisticated friends, who have neither
the advantage nor the labor of wading through
some hundred exchanges daily, can hardly judge
the tone. temper, and extent Of public opinioa
upon this topic, losthesome and disagreeable to
them, and which for that very reason, they do
not wish to know or believe. IS

Latest from California.

The Alta Californian gives a lengthy account
of the disbandonment of the Vigilance Commit
tee. and represents the parade which came off on
the occasion as the most imposing and magnih-
cent demonstration ever beheld in California.
There was no attempt at any destinations display,
nor no desire to appear otherwise than as plain
citizens, banded together to preserve peace and
order. A few days before resigning into the
hands of the people the power delegated to them
ut the commencement of their labors, the Com
mittee are reported to have examined with great
care and deliberation the case of Judge Terry,
about which there had been more solictude than
any other upon which they had been called to adj
Indicate. A large majority voted to release him
from custody, which has met with cordial ap-
prevail from all classes, and it is now conceded
shat the Committee has acted with consummate
wisdom and justice. not only in this instance, but
throughout their whole proceedings. Il is said
they have not been guilty of a single mistake.
The procession was over a mile in length, IL
platoons deep, and numbered over 5000. In
describing the procession the Alta Californian
says: -
ray, as the different companies were brought into
line, so as to show the entire force. We have
never seen anything of the kind that could be
compared with it in numbers, in discipline, or
in responsibility. A gentleman who witnessed
most Of the conflicts in the Mexican war, assures
US that he never beheld such sight as that pre-
sentcd Yesterday. He had seen the review of the
whole United States army under General Scott !;
he had been present at the various successful
skrmishes in which General Taylor was engaged
he was with the army when headed by General
Scott 1t marched irto the City of Mexico; and
yet he was compelled to say that it was left for
the quiet. sober and honorable citizens of San
Francisco to excel all those displays in point of
numerical strength, as well as military appear
ance. lie says that General Scott's army was
not as large when he took the City Of Mexico, as
was the procession yesterday"
1t was supposed that the dissolution of the
Committee would not have taken place until after
the Election, at which it was expected their infu-
ence would be paramount and immunity secured
but they did not wait for that day-they have
submitted themselves to the calm judgment of
the people, and California is again tranquil.

Prospects in Ihdiuna.

4 gentleman whose judgment is highly es-
teemed, and who is we'll acquainted with the
politics of Indiana, writes to the Chicago Jour-
nal, that the People of that State are preparing
such rebuke for the Slavery Extensionists as a
party never received since the formation of this
Government. He says: The blood of Bar

poor pllaged Kansas. and causes the great pop
ular heart to pulsatc with a noise that sounds
like the rushing Of a mighty whirlwind. Noble,

Col. Fremont's Religion.

Samuel Barney, who was Postmaster and Col

Fremont we'll from 1S49 to 1854, and knows him
to be an Episcopalian, He adds:

ond term OF Senator from California, and at that
time nserly every member of the California Leg
islature from the southern part of the State were
Catholics, and all it would have required to have
elected him at once, would have been for him to
be Catholic; but he was not and did not get
that influence. At the time knew Col. Fremont
he had every political inducement to be Catho-
