SHAKERS BIBLE.-The Lowell Courier says It recently had glimpse of Shaker Bible, book not often allowed to be seen by the worlds people," It is entitled "A Holy, Sa- cred and Divine Roll from the Lord God of Heaven to the Inhabitants of the Earth, Re. vealed in the Society at New Lebanon, Colum
 bia county, State of New York, United States of America" This edition was published se- ven years since, at the Shakers establishment at Canterbury, N. H. It pretends to be re- velaton-and the testimony of eleven mighty angels IS given, who attended the writing of the roll. One of the angels is named Console teac-J ao monshue, and another Pre-line-f-nan- ves-ten-varen- -ve-ne It is bound in yellow according to the order from on high. The book appears to contain passages from scripture, altered. amended, enlarged or curtailed, with original additions or improvements, as they are probably deemed, to suit the peculiar notions of the disciples of Ann Lee. It is a very cu- rious volume; even more remarkable, though of less pretended antiquity, than the Mormon Bible. A copy is ordered to be sent to every king or potentate in Chrstendom, and one sent to the Governor of Canada some time since. was returned or refused.

SS''' RobJing-The Election
 H,eStport, Oct. IA, 1856.
 Col J. C. Anderson has just arrived from Lecompton bringing some important news Two hundred and fifty abolltonis;s under Pc mercy and Eldrdge, were captured on the 10th inst, a few miles from the Nebraska line, by Col. St. George Cook Lane and Brown es- capped. These men were fresh from the east, under military drill and equipped with all the munitions of war. Amongst other things, they had thirty dragoon saddles and not single horse; they expected to "press" aiiaS steal horses for their saddles That is the reasonable conciuson. It is expected that Gov. Geary will disarm these fellows, and cort them out of the territory leaving Pomeroy and Eldrd.e, perhaps, for trial on the charge of treason.
 Notwithstanding his activity and the deter imitation to establish peace the aboltionists n the neighborhood of Prairie city are still rob- ping and ordering away the pro-slaverv inha- btants. Several families passed through here to-day, leaving because they could keep nothing and had been advised to leave pr take the con sequences. They were objects of pity; having lived through the war and breasted all the diff culties, they only left when starvation stared them in the face and the rigors of Kansas winter, to which they would be exposed, and for which they were unprepared, began tn fore shadow themselves in the early frosts of Octo- Der.
 The Governor, having sent all his available force to the north, has not yet been able to break up old Browns nest of pirates on the south side of Raw. As Col. Cook is returning we may expect it to be done speedily.
 Gen. Whitfield was elected without opposi- tion. The abotionists ran ticket in Atchson county, and were badly beaten. The vote was in favor of convention to frame State con- stitution. It is said that the Governor will convene the Legislature soon; of this we know nothing certain. H. c. P.

 THE RIGHT SPIRIT-The New York cor respondent of the Pennsylvanian, in letter dated New York, Oct. 9th, says
 The higher law" has no advocates here, and It will require more arguments than the Bankses, the Wilson's and Burlingames can of- fer, to persuade our people to turn traitors to the Union. A striking, practical exempiiica- ton of this truth was afforded this morning Steamship Roanoke, from Richmond, which arrived this morning. had on board a fugitive slave, who was not discovered until the steve dores commenced to unload. Quite an excite ment ensued, but the masters and owners ofthe vessel did not hesitate long what course to pur- sue.
 Orders were at once given to cast off the haw- sers and put to sea. The engineer had begun to blow off steam, when he received orders to " fire up," and fire up he did. The last that was seen of the Roanoke she was blowing the waters of the lower bay, ep route for Rich mond
 The New York and Richmond line of steam. CTS are, we believe, owned principally in New ork. Such a spirit as was shown by the above described act deserves the highest praise.

From the New York Herald. An Austrian Archduke Challenged by an
 American.
 We have received the two following letters ln reference to recent difficulty which is re- ported to have taken place at Vienna, between Col. Pearson of California, and his Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles
 Nenna, Sunday, Sept. 2l, 1856. An affair has just occurred here which has caused good deal of excitement in fashionable circles
 Col. Pearson, of California, who arrived here the other day from Moscow, felt desirous of inspecting the government buildings, and for that purpose applied for the usual authorza- ton. lie was informed that no one but mem bers of the European Congress of Science, now In session in this city, could be admit ted
 On receiving this reply, he applied to be re- celved as a member of the Congress, stating that his diploma had been destroyed by the great fire at San Francisco. His demand was compiled with, and he was treated with the greatest consideration by all the members of the body, with the exception of the Archduke Charles, who took exception to his admission on the ground of his having no diploma
 Col. Pearson felt himself aggrieved by the manner in which the Archduke's objections were made, and felt it due to his honor to call upon the atterfor an explanation. The Grand Duke behaved in the handsomest manner on the occasian, and the difficulty was amcably settled.
 These are the true facts of the affair, which no doubt have by this time reached you through other channels
 Vienna, Momday Sept. p, 1856. l would wish to call your attention to the unprecedented impotence and insult offered by an American to the European Congress of Sci ence, now in session at this place. Col. Pear son arrives here from Moscow and asks admis- sion to the imperial buildings. He is told they are closed except to members of Congress. He asks to become member, saying his papers were destroyed in the great San Francisco fire He is admitted to the chair of surgery, also named Vice President Archduke Charles ob- jected violently to this proceeding Pearson replies with the bully's weapon-a challenge.

LADIES, disposed to be economical, may
be " much puzzled" to know how to make a
fashionable bonnet themselves, and thus be
in the fashion without mourning the expense
Of miIliner's bills. Desiring at all times to
be useful to this last and better part of crea-

lowing recipe, which has been tried and,
therefore, can be said Of it, pro6atum est.
/" Two scraps or foundation, some fragments Of
lace,
A shower Of French roso-buds to droop Ger the
face
Fine ribbons aud feathers, with craze and illusions
Then mix and derange them in graceful confusion
lnveigle some fairy, out roaming for pleasure,
And beg the slight favor of taking her measure
The length and breadth Of her dear little pate,
Aud hasten a miniature frame to create;
Then pour, as above, the bright mixture upon it
And 10 you possess such alovo Of n bonnet p
There now, ladies, you that IRE thirstin:
and hungeriug after a new bonnet, try tn,
recipe and, in the event of'success, send u
word and any how, thank us for our desir,
