Progress Of the Cam lpaign.

The National American Fillmore club u
of New York, in meeting assembled the even
ing previous to Mr.. Fillnore's arrival in that
city, from Europe, resolved unanimously to
support Fremont and Dayton.
The opponents of Ten cent Jimmy in
Pennsylvania, of all classes and factions, are
about to cordially unite upon one electoral
ticket for President and Vice President
Only one paper in Chicago withholds its
support from Fremont, and that is the Times
the organ and mainly the property OF
Douglas. Capt. Schneider, editor of the r.
linois Stats Zeitung, (German,) published
at Chicago, spoke as follows In the Philadel-
phia Convention, after the nomination of
Fremont:
Mr.. Schneider said that there was no pop
ulation to be found in this Union which was
more devoted to the cause of Freedom than
the German population of the Prairie State
(AppIause.l The German Delegates endors-
ed with heart and soul the nominations and
the platform of. that Convention [Cheers. +
They intend to go back to the West and
vote for it, and bring every German possible
to vote for their party Loud Cheers.] He
had no doubt but that John G. Fremont
would receive majority of the German
votes in this Union [Applause.] Already a
majority of their press of the Union, amount

favor of Fremont, and they hope for success
in electing the glorious ticket. fhe Germans

WASHINGTON, June 25.

SENArE-Mr. Wilson presented petition
from the officers of the Massachusetts Aid
Society, setting forth the the objects Of that
organization, and stating that they have
been much misrepresantsd by the majority
report of the Committee on Territories
They say that their Society did not cause
the troubles in Kansas, nor infringe any law
or interfere with the peaceful execution Of it.
HousE-The Committee on Ways and
Means in full report on the tariff No ex-
tensive notifications are contemplated. The
most proposed is the extension of the free
list, including raw materials. The great
difficulty has been about wool, owing to
divided views in regard to agricultural and
manufacturing interests. The present plan
is to admit fine and coarse wool with in
creased maximum and minimum valuation,
and retain the present duties on those en-
tering into competition with our productions.
There is no intention to touch iron, though
there is much pressure by railroad interests.
There is strong inclination to establish
some valuation, but with limited prospects
of success, even if retained by the House.

WAsHINGroN, June Is.
The Grand Jury to-day presented Preston
S. Brooks for assault and battery on Mr..
Sumner. The latter appeared before the
jury and gave testimony.
A gentleman who saw Mr.. Sumner yes
terday thinks he will not be able to resume
his seat this session. His wounds are yet
unhealed, and his nervous system complete

Colonel Benton.

The Pro-slavery leaders are now in the
midst Of new and uncommon trouble with
regard to Co. Benton. The cause NAV be
stated in few words, as explained by the
tribulated. The Washington Union accuses
him of supporting Mr.. Buchanan, in order
that he may more conspicuously spit upon
the Cincinnati Platform and letter, pur-
porting to be written from Washington, az
pears in the St. Louis Republican, the writ
cr of which goes into long and somewhat
tedious analysis to prove that Mr.. Benton,
by supporting Mr.. Buchanan, intends to-
have ttoo different Buchanan electoral tickets.
run in Missouri, and thus by division of
the Buchanan votes, by a circui tous route,
allow the vote of Missouri to be cast for
Fremont. We do not know that there is
one word of truth in the thing asserted, but
we see that the pro-slavery knowing ones
are terribly chafed about something, and
they give the above as the reason for it, So
says the Galena Advertiser.

ship Resolute.
In the House Mr.. Whitney introduced a
bill for the preservation of peace in Kansas.

Gen. Smith left last evening for Philadel-
phia, but will return in day or two, when
his instructions will be completed, and he
will proceed to Kansas Immediately. He
eventually supersedes Col. Sumner from the
fact that he is his Senior. Col. Sumner, it
is understood, will remain in command Of a
portion of the troops.

REvIvED.-The Minnesota Republican, at
St. Anthony, which has been resting from
its labors since March last, has been revived
under the editorial charge Of Mr.. c. G.
Ames, its old and able conductor. We be-
lieve Mr. A. is now editor and proprietor,
which places him in more Independent and
consequently more useful position than he
formerly occupied. The Republican enters
into the contest for Fremont, heart and soul.
Long may it wave!

CORRECTION.-Ibe following extract rom
the proceedings Of the North American Con-
vention in New York, contradicts the tele-
graph report, that that body adopted wholly
the Philadelphia nominations. We copy
from the New York Times. The following
resolution was offered and unanimously
adopted;
Resolved, That this Convention nominate
Col. JOHN c. Fremont for President, and
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON for Vice President
of the United States.
SIGNIFICANT. - Referring to the late
Buchanan ratification meeting in New York,
the Times of that city says: "In the differ
cent accounts of the proceedings we find
"Mr. Douglas and number of Southern
"slave-owners mentioned as having spoken,
"but not the name of one citizen of the State
"-not single individual who will partici-
"pate in the election here in November next
cas- having raised his voice on that oc-
"casion" This is significant, but by no
means surprising. Everything connected
with the nomination of Buchanan is sectional
and pro-slavery in character, and shareholders
and their tools are the proper persons to
speak at ratification meetings.
"MArERIAL AID" FOR KANSAs.-Messrs.
Fisher & Co., of Lacon. on the Illinois river,
have orders from their Boston house to give

upon that platform and ought to know

RED RIVER PEopLE.-These people may
now be said to have taken possession of the
town, and our principal business firms are
reaping a good harvest in bartering with
them. They not only come pretty well
LOADED with furs, skins, robes, &C., but are
well supplied with British sovereigns.
Trains are arriving from the Selkirk settle
ment every day, and will continue to arrive
for a month to come. They are buying
everything almost in the shape of kitchen
furniture and agricultural implements. They
also 60 in for furnishing goods to some ex-
tent. Their. primitive-looking carts are con-
stantly going through our principal tho
roughfares, laden with stoves, tinware bar
rels, boxes, &C., preparatory to their long
journey of five or six weeks to their north
errn home.
The Importance Of this annually increas-
ing trade to our young city, cannot be too
highly estimated. From few carts be-
longing to two or three Indian traders at
Pembina, it has, in few years, grown into
an extensive and settled business. The
people in those regions now look to St. Paul
for the supply Of almost every utentil in the
household economy. With these facts be-
fore them, we hope our inhabitants will con-
tinue to deal with them with that liberality
which has secured us their trade. -

privy of the steamer Northern Belle. He
had been to Winona, at which place he got
on the booat to come up here. Passengers
who conversed with him late in the evening
before, did not notice that anything was the
matter with him and his sudden demise
was mystery which even coroner's jury
could not clear up. He was about 65 years

Tom BELL. THE HIGHWAYMAN.-

Tom BELL THE HIGHwAYMAN.-l
This notorious individual is not a myth
as we supposed. There is band of
robbers securing the country which is
headed by Tom Bell, or somebody
known by the appellation. The depre-
dations of the robber band appear to be
confined to the ridge between the South
and Middle Yubas, and belt of country
lying below Grass Valley and Rough Il
Ready. The latest account of them,
we received from gentleman who came
from San Juan day or two since, which
is Substantially as follows:
On Monday morning last, a party Of
three horsemen crossed the bridge near
the mouth of the South Yuba. Mr..
Woods, the toll gatherer, went out to
receive the toll. The horsemen said
the times were hard, and that they be-
longed to Tom Bells company, aud did
not pay toll. They then rode on. Mr..
Woods fired at them several times, and
pursued them to French Corral. A
company started in pursuit, and follow
ed the gang so closely, that one became
separated from the rest, and was obliged
to dismount and take to the bushes
His horse was secured and taken to San
Juan, where it was recognized and given
up to the owner who lives below Grass
Valley. The horse had been stolen
but few days previous.
The gang stopped over night at the
Mountain Cottage, on Shady Greek,
not far from Cherokee, but took the
precautlon to camp out. The course of
the robbers next morning was up the
ridge.
