PACIFIC CIRcus-This new circus company
performed in this place last Wednesday and
gave perfect satisfaction to all who were pres
ent Every feat attempted was well perform
ed-and many of them were of the first
order of such exhibitions. The trained horse
excelled anything we ever witnessed. Mr..
Bartholomew the trainer seemed to have per-
feet control of his horse, and he had but to
command him and he was obeyed. Most of
the tricks were new-such as jumping through
a hoop that was encircled with fire, taking
dollar from the bottom of bucket filled
with water, ascending flight Of stairs back
wards and forwards, and great many others
equally as surprising. The performance of
the horse is we'll worth the admission money.

done in the cellar. The only occupant was a
Mrs. viyard, who was asleep between one
and two o'clock, when she was aroused by the
cracking of timber, and in few moments the
side of the house fell out. She instantly fed
with no other damage than to run nail in
her foot and took up her quarters in an adj
joining house. About three o'clock the

Eaniwha Republican.

We had hattered ourselves that the
frequent warnings we gave "old Sleepy"
amonth or SO ago, would have . whole
some and salutsry effect u pom his anti
Southern principles. But the issue Of
his paper Of the Sd of June satisfies us
that we might as well expect the "Ethi-
opian to change his skin or the leopard
his Spots" as "old Sleepy" to undergo,
in his old age. any. material change on
Southern Rights. We refer to the ar
ticle copied into bis paper respecting the
Sumner and Brooks affair. 1t is deci.
dedly anti-Southern and .snti:virginian
in its tone and feeling. We would sug.
gest to the Republican that, in justice to
his readers. he should copy in his pa.
per the editorials Of some Southern pa.
pers on the subject-Richmond Wing

Republican. Come, you must do better.

Fir, IN Buffalo.

On Tuesday, the 3rd inst, at 2 o'clock
A. NJ. our citizens were aroused BY the
alarm of fire. Upon fastening 70 the
scene Of conAagration, We found ! fine
new two story dwelling house, the pro-
perty Of Mr.. F. A. Bediehek, enveloPed
in flames. The house was being used as
a furniture warehouse. and contained
about 500 worth Of new furniture, which
was destroyed with the building. No
insurance. The fire was, without doubt,
the work Of an incendiary. \
Our citizens called meeting st!eight
o'clock the same morning, for the pur-
pose of Investigating the cause Of the
recent fires there having been til rec in
in less that year, and all of which was
supposed to have been maliciously set on
FIRE. A co mmittee was appointed at the
meeting, who in their examination threw
suspicion u pom E. Casey,.a shoemaker OF
this place; on an affidavit, made by Mr..
Bedichek, he was arrested and brought
before Esquire Bower. who committed
him to jail, to answer the charge Of burn
ing the property of Mr.. F. A. Bediche k
We forbesr giving the facts adduced at
the examination, as we do not wish 10
prejudice the public mind against him
prior to his trial at court. .. ! . .

q. s. Alrshil's Letter to the Citizens 81
Lawrence. X

The following is an extract Of the
letter written By Marshal Donelson to
the citizens of Lawrence in reply to
their offer Of submission:
On yesterday | received commu-
nication addressed to me, signed by
one of you as President and the other
as Secretary supporting to have been
adopted BY a meeting Of the citizens
of Lawrence, held ON yesterday morn
ing. After speaking Of procfama-
ton issued BY myself, You state that
There may be no misunderstand-
| ing, we beg leave to ask respectfully
that we may be reliable informed)
| what are the demands against us; we
desire most truthfllly and earnestly
to declare that no opposition whatev-
er will now or ut any fature time, be
offered to the execution of any legal
process by yourself or any person act
| ing for you've also pledge ourselves
to assist YOU if called upon in the ex-
ecution Of any legal process, &c.
How am / to rely on your pledges
when l am well aware that the whole
population Of Lawrence is armed and
drilled, and the town fortified; when
l9too, l rsaoafect the meetings and reso-
lutions adopted in Lawrence and else
where in the TERRITORY, openly defying
the laws and tile officers thereof, and
threatening to resist them to a bloody
issue, and verified in the attempted
assassination Of Sheriff Jones while
in the discharge Of his official duty at
Lawrence! Surely you must be
strangers at Lawrence. Ifno outrages
have been committed by the citizens
of Lawrence against the laws of the
land, they need not fear any posse OF
mine, but must take the liberty OF
executing all processes in my hands
as United States Marshall in my own
time land manner, and shall only use
such power as is authorized by law
You say you call upon the constituted
authority of the Government for pro-
lection. This, indeed, sounds strange,
coming from . large body of men
armed with Sharp's rifles and other
implements Of war, bound together by
oaths and pledges to resist the laws Of
the Government they call on for pro-
lection. All persons in Kansas Ter.
ritory, without fegarl to location, who
honestly submit to the constituted an,
thorities, will ever find me ready to
adm protecting them, and all who
seek to resist the laws Of the land and
turntraitors to their country, will find
me aiding in enforcing the laws, il
not as nm officeras q citizen. Respect.
fully, yours, J., X

Spain and Mexico.

The Havana correspondent Of the
New York Courier and Enquire,
writes as follow: Il. y ! .5%>
The Spanish Government has deter.
mined to send a naval force to Vera
Cruz, to demand an indemnity of the
Mexican Government for the Spanish
merchants who suffered considerably
during the late revolutions When
Santa Anna was in power he made q
treaty with Spain, by which tho Mex
lean nation obliged itself to pay quite
a large sum Of money to certain
Spanish houses that were ruined dur.
ing the war of Independence. Gen
Comonfort now refuses to acknowledge
the validity of this treaty, and has no
titled the Spanish government that he
will not pay. This refusal has prompt
ed the Spaniards to send there a large
naval force, under the command o
Brigadier Pinzon. The squadron
will consist of two frigates, thret
steamers and four briggs. zaf fffsss
A commissioner has been sent Il
Spain by the planters, who are oppos
ed to the African colonization.
General Concha has sent Col. Flore,
to Madrid to ask for instruction!
about the conduct to be observed with
the fillibusters in Central America. =
It seems that he is anxious to take ar
active part III the settlement of tn,
case. He has sent an agent to Cost.
RIGA. He leftin the last steamer, ID
Aspinwall. Il is generally believed
that Spain has offered the Cost,
Ricans money and arms.

he pleases, but for what said he must
abide the consequences; and that if it be
the pleasure ola Freesoiler to Islander
southerners, be must hold himself per
sonally responsible to abide the issue;
but must not Islander and then expect to
save himself harmless BY saying he does
not approve OF duelling. If he Won't
fight he must give no insults. There is
. reciprocity in all things; and he who
gives insult must abide the eonsequen-
ces Of that insult. If duel or cow
hiding follow the insult, he must blame
no one for it, because he knew this would
be the consequences Of his insult.
We again say we are rejoiced that
Southerners are establishing this code Of
morals in: the halls of Congress, for its
effect will be to close the mouths Of the
foul slanderers of the South. and thus
bring about a better state of feeling be-
tween the different portions Of the Con-
federacy. 4 -.
We are furthermore decidedly in ia
ror Of those who do the talking and vii
lifying also to do the fighting. We want
this slavery contest decided after the
manner the Horatii and Curiatii decided
the Roman and Alban war-we want
leaders selected from each side to do the
fighting. and not the entire nation thrown
into civil war. The people Of this Union
do not desire civil war. They are bound
together too closely in interest 10 make
war upon each other they have too
many things in common--their future
welfare and destiny arc too closely inter
woven to be severed and separated from
each other. And If we can just confne
the fighting to those sent to Washington,
peace and harmony will soon prevail
throughout the. Republic, and We shall
once again feel as one people, and in pur-
suit Of one great object--to wit: the ma
king of these United States the most pow
erful nation of the globe, and the chief
controlling power Of the destinies Of the
Universe. -

-"That the necessity for this increased

most entirely. from the large appropria-
tions made by the Legislature oflate years

fact known to all--and hat the dominant

The above extract is from the Lynch

demagogues in this section. who have
been endeavoring to delude. the unsus-

the cry-of -ahigh taxes" and attributing
the cause thereof to the Democratic party.
Now we do not see how any man who

such an idea. unless they give the Demo.

did make were quite meagre. That ii
true, and we should liked to have see,

Black Republican operators, whose
