From the CincinnAtl Halette
The Third Congressional District.

Hon. L. D. CAMPBELL's REPLY TO Mr.
VALLANDIGHAM.-Iti is believed by men oi
all parties in the Third District that the no
tice of intention to contest the election ot
Hon. L. D. Campbell by his defeated com.
petitor, Mr.. Vallandigham, has been given
simply for political effect, and will never be
carried into execution. However much the
members of the Administration party regret
the defeat of their candidate by his old and
gallant opponent, they have quite too much
'proverbial philosophy" to commence throw
ing stones from glass houses.
Mr.. Campbell did not receive Mr.. Val
landlgbam's notice until two or three days
after its appearance in the newspapers
fact which taken in connection with
the circumstance that certificate will not
be furnished the successful candidate for
nearly two months, indicates some other
aim in giving so early notice than desire
to comply with the required form of the
law. On Saturday Mr.. Campbell replied
to Mr.. Vallandigham's notice, and it is high
ly probable that nothing more will be heard
about that contest after the 4th of Novem-
Der. We subjoin Mr.. CampbelTs response /:
HAMILTON, O., Oct. S1st 1856.
SRI received your Oritten communi-
caion touching that 'nigger business" some
time after it appeared in the "nuze papers" I"
No official informationn of my election to
a seat in the S5th Congress of the United
States has yet been furnished, and you will
pardon me for suggesting that perhaps your
deep anxiety on this subject has occasioned
premature action.
In December next I shall probably re-
ceive, under the ''broad seal of the State of
Ohio certificate that the honor of repre-
senting the Third District in the next Con-
gress has been conferred on me by the peo-
pie. In that event, please observe that you
and the corrupt minions of the present con-
demued Admi niStration are not only inVite
but dared to contest my right to the seat
Should you or they attempt to carry out
your Wanted designs, / promise the country
a record of one of the corrupt and disgrace
full outrages that has ever been perpetrated
upon the American ballot-box.

Matters inKansas.

Kansas T., Oct. II, 1856.
My very dear friend Mr.. GrisWold-l
have the pleasure of informing you of my
safe arrival at Hickory Point after a long
and perhaps rather perilous journey. The
Chicago money has not yet arrived, but we
hope it may, for it is very much needed
l inclose a receipt for the money intrusted
to my care, and can assure you it shall be
faithfully disbursed. l have not had time
or strength, yet to go about and see what
are the particular wants of the people, but
they tell me every tbing--that nothing
comes amiss that any body can wear or eat.
Clothingo of any description, especially stock
ing yarn, is very much needed. | hope the
ladies of Elyria will contribute their praise
worthy efforts for the relief of the suffering
settlers of Kansas. Their labors are not in
vain. Oh no! And if they could see the
poor men here all in tatters, their rags fly
ing in the wind, who have spent the whole
summer in the army of freedom, and actual
ly almost starved-have gone for days to-
gether without putting scarce a particle OF
food into their mouths, and are now desti-
tute of clothing, food and money, and cold
and cheerless winter coming on apace. For
what is all this suffering? 1t is to main
tain the cherished principles of liberty-for
which our fathers bled-against the cruel
usurpation of despots. What person is
there with reason and common sense, hay-
ing one drop of Republican blood coursing
in his veins, can blame them? Alas! there
are some, and sorry l am.
l will write again soon. l want you
should write as soon as you receive this
You know my assumed address. Don't
put my name on letter, if you do l shall
not get it my letters are all intercepted
while Others go through. Tell the people
that the suffering sons and daughters of
of Ohio who have sought home on the
beauteous planis of Kansas, and are endeav-
oring with all the courage of martyrs to
maintain civil and religious liberty on this
bloodstained soil, are confidently expect
ing their brothers of Ohio to remember
them at the Ballot Bor.
Your sincere friend, S.

YANKEE SPIRIT.-Hiram Pearson, of
California is now travelling in Europe. Re
cent foreign letters state that, having arriv.
ed at Vienna, he applied TO the proper au-
thorities for permission to inspect the gov
ernmeut buildings. He was refused, on the
ground that no one but a member of the
European Congress of Science, then in ses-
sion in Vienna, could be admitted.-There-
upon he applied to be received in the Con-
eress as a member, stating that his diplo-
ma had been destroyed by the great eontia-
grafton in San Francisco. This demand
was complied with, and he was treated with
the greatest consideration by all the mem
bers of the body except the Archduke
Charles, who took exception to his admis-
sion, as he had no diploma. Col. Pearson
feeling himself aggrieved at the manner in
which che Archduke's objections were made
challenged him, where upon the Archduke
descended ftom his dignity, apologized, ex-
.plaiped. and all was satisfactorily settled
Col Pearson was admitted to the chair oi
Surgery and named Vice President Of the
Congrass!

Thrilling Night scene in Young Lady,s
Red-fJhamber.


Last Tuesday night, which viii be re-
membered as one of the warmest of the sea-
son, young lady at the "West End" was
excessively frightened at little circumstance
which transpired about the hour of midnight
The young lady, whose beauty is only
equalled by her modesty, and whose "eye's
dark charm has caused more than one
waistcoat to palpitate, had retired to her
chamber, where, after laying aside the great
er portion of her wearing apparel, she COM
mitted herself to the tender embrace of Nor
pheus, whose soothing influences were aided
by the cooling breath of Zephyer, who came
in at the open window, and famed her
checks with his feathery wings. In a word,
she was snoozing fnely-or, to use the Ian
guage of modern bard
asleep on her velvet eyelids lightly press'd,
AMI dreamy signs upheaved her snowy breast,
While sarbeams through her window softly creeping,
Stole to her couch and trembling there stood peeping
1t was, as we said, about midnight, when
the young lady was reused from her delie-
ious slumber by hearing noise at the win
dow. Half unclosing her eyes, she was
startled by the sight Of a corpulent form, ap-
parently struggling to gain admission to her
chamber through the open window. 1t
struck her at once that the intruder had
been caught by the rear of his unmentiona-
bles, by a nail or some other sharp instru-
ment, as he seemed to be struggling with a
stern determination to enter. Her first
thought was to faint-her second, to give
the fellow push-her third to jump out of
the window as soon as he jumped in-her
fourth, to scream which was Immediately
carried into effect. The whistle of the loco
motive on the Iron Mountain road, when it
gave its first snort on the 4th of July was
but a whisper to the screams of the young
girl. The whole house, and half the neigh
borhood, were awakened by the outcry.-
The old folks, three female servants, and
two big brothers rushed to the rescue, and
broomsticks, mop-handles, and boot-jacks
flashed in the gaslight, as the household en-
tered the chamber of the frightened beauty.
An examination of the figure in the window
dispeHed the fears of all, and changed the
screams of the young lady into shouts Of
laughter. The imaginary "fat man" was
only her own darling hooped skirt, which
she had hung on hook near the window
and which the wind had inflated and set il
motion. There was no more sleeping II
the house that nights. Louis Herald.

The Galveston NeDs contains correspon-
dence from CastorYille, Medina county, Tex
as dated I9th ult., from which we take the
following interesting particulars in relation
tothe camels which have lately been import
ed there by the United States government:
] had also the pleasure of making the ac-
quaintance of Major Wayne, for several
years attached to the War Department in
Washington city, who went out last year to
Asia and introduced the camels into this
country, which arrived at Indianola last
spring, and arc now kept at this post. 1t
has been selected by him as the best adapt
ed to that service for which he intends them.
When We arrived they were out grazing,
some two miles distant attended by the
Arabs, who have charge of them, when Ma
jor Wayne very kindly sent out and had
them driven in for our inspection. There
are altogether thi:ty-two, including some
young ones, and all arc in excellent health
and seem to be doing we'll.
The males are kept seperate from the fe-
males in the coryell, and when all were
housed, and we had examined them careful
", accompanied by Major Wayne, who gave
us very interesting account of their habits
and peculiarities, he ordered one of them to
be led out as if for a journey. After kneel-
ing 10 receive the pack saddle most
cumberous load Of ITSELF but same as are
used in the country from which they came
"a load of corn was placed on the animals
back, sufficient for two mules to draw in a
wagon, with which he started off at good
round pace. A dromedary was nextlcd out
which is the saddle animal of the camel,
and after kneeling to receive the saddle, he
was mounted by an Arab, who started off
across the prairie, at a pace which seemed
to me not much short of a two forty lick
This pace they can keep up for hours in sue
cession, travelling with perfect ease from
eighty to one hundred miles per day. They
can also subsist for several days without wa
ter, and their adaptabiIty to the frontier
service, for which they are designed, is now
a matter beyond doubt. Major Wayne in
formed me that he had forty more animals
coming out and he is now building sta
bic in which they will be kept, which he ex-
poets to get finished before the cold wealth
er sets IN.

Railroad Smash Up.

Yesterday, about o'clock, as the Gin
cinnati Express train, of which Mr.. Fisher
is conductor was approaching the Yelling
ton Station, and running at rapid rate, a
COW was run over, and the trucks of the bag
gage car thrown off. The connection with
the forward passenger car was broken, and
it itbounded from the track and dashed against
the Station house. 1t was thrown upon the
station platform, and slid along at least sew
enty-fye feet with tremendous velocity, and
finally made complete somerset rolling
over upon the track. The second passenger
car followed, and had its forward end entire
ly crushed to pieces. The first passenger
car was complete wreck and the second
rendered useless. There were fifteen or
twenty passengers in the first but no lives
were lost. All of them were however, in
iured more or less. One man had a leg
broken, and another a shoulder dislocated.
We are unable to learn their names, but
they are reported in fair way for recovery.

Startling observation-disclosures H Wat
son Our Next Congressman
We invite the attention of the public to
section fourteen, of article four, of the Con-
stitution of the State of Ohio:
"SectionI4. The Judges of the Supreme
Court and of the Court Of Common Pleas,
shall, at stated times receive for their com
pensation as may be provided by law, = 4
but they shall receive no fees nor perquisites,
nor hold any other office Of profit or trust,
under the authority Of this State or the
United State. EEALL VOTES for eth
or Of them, FOR ANY ELECTIVE OFFICE, ex-
cept a judicial office under the authority Of
this State, given by the General Assembly,
SHALL BE VOID"
Judge Hall has not resigned his Office as
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
Every vote cast for him, for Congress, is
therefore. by the Constitution of Ohio VOID.
Watson is therefore, our next Congressman,
and the Governor of Ohio will issue to him
a certificate of election, which Hall can
contest if he thinks the effort will pay ex-
penses. We have given the section verba-
tim. Hall holds his office, and every man
can see for himself that this is no humbug.
The opinion of one of the best LocofOco
lawyers in this city, is that Watson is clear
ly our next Congressman.
Hail evidently acted on the maxim "a
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, y
and regarding this election as exceedingly
doubtful, concluded to hold on to his pres
ent emoluments. Hurrah for Watson!
We are not aware of the course to be pur-
sued in reference to this advantage, and do
not care, so that the Ninth District does not
cast its vote for Border Ruffianism, and the
extension of Slavery, which Hall is pledged
to sustain.

Senator Summers reception this after
noon was a cordial and imposing affair.
Many places of business were closed, and
the citizens generally exhibited patriotic
interest in the welcome home of their dis
tinguished Senator. A great throng of
citizens on horseback and in carriages met
Mr.. Sumner at Brooklin, and escorted him
to Boston, where he was addressed by the
venerable Josiah Quincy.
The procession then escorted him to the
State House, where he was again welcomed
in an eloquent speech from the Governor of
the State. On rising to reply Mr.. Sumner
was hailed with spontaneous outburst of
applause and others of the vast crowd pres
ent. His personal appearance showed the
effect of some physical suffering.

Comparison CAN GO NO FARTHER.-We
heard two little boys-one six and the other
eight years of age-quarrelling over game
of marbles this morning.
''You're a liar" said the biggest.
''You're another" said the smallest.
''You lie like the devil" said the big one
"And you're as big liar as-as-dS :
and the little one hesitated for comparison
as big liar as ErGstnS Brooks"
(triumphantly.)
The bigger boy was sileneed. He had
no comparison to equal that, and left the lit

CALLING THE Roll OF Mr.. TooMB's
SLAVES ON BUNKER HLL.-The point made
by Republican speaker in New York, the
other day, was not bad one. "Toombs"

when he could call the roll of his slaves in
the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument. The
time has come-hark! he calls; Rufus

DEMAND FOR THE BIBLE.-One of the
most agreeable incidents of the New York
trade sales, this season, was the extensive
demand for the Holy Scripture, immense
numbers being disposed of to booksellers
assembled from all parts of the country
Upwards of fifty varieties were brought to
the hammer, ranging in prices from 81 to
81, so, and this too, in addition to the i'm
mense supply sent out yearly by the Bible
Society. 1t is surely good sign of the
times.
