California Politics.

The last advices from California announce
that Hon. Edward Stanley, the Republican
nominee for governor, had also received the
nomination of the Settlers convention. As
the settler interest is large and influential,
Mr.. s. cannot fail to poll very strong vote.
The Democratic party, as is well known, is
very much divided, the Broderick wing be-
ing luke warm towards, if not actually hos
tile to the success of John B. Weller, the
nominee of their own convention. Should
there be any serious detection from Mr..
John w, Mr.. Stanley may be elected, al
though the chances certainly favor his op-
ponent. Mr.. s. is native of North Caro-
lima, and has served that State in Congress
with marked ability, as Wing representa-
tive. Always conservative, and opposed to
the extension of slavery, as well as political
abolitionism, he has the confidence equally
of northern and southern men In Califor-
notwithstanding his position as nomi-
nee of the Republican party.

When the North has changed its views in
regard either to the social rectitude or the
constitutional relations of slavery, when it
is prepared to acknowledge our equal rights
in the common territories, to recognise the
Fugitive Slave law as binding upon the con-
science of all good citizens of the United
States, and to yield assent to the doctrines
of the bred Scott decision, then, and not
until then, may we look for the probable
termination of existing difficulties and a
happy issue out of all our calamities.
nsond South.
This, then, is the issue presented COM
plete and unqualified submission to the in
human demands of the Slave power on the
part of the North, or the complete destruc-
ton of that power. Choose We this day
between them.''

A few weeks since We published an ac-
count of a meeting of the citizens of Guy
andotte, Virginia, which was addressed by
Eli Thayer, in explanation of his plan of
introducing an army of free laborers into
Western Virginia, and settling them on the
worn-out lands of that section. Resolutions
were adopted at this meeting favoring the
project. But it now turns out that the meet
ing was altogether one-sided affair. The
"F. F.V.'s" were not represented in it, and
they are far from approving of this Yankee
scheme. Another meeting has been held,
which resolved that Eli Thayer's scheme of
colonizing Virginia with enterprising white
laborers is inimical to the honor and rights
of Virginia, and nothing but an Abolition
concern in disguise. They also resolved to
lynch the whole enterprise. and all concerned
in it, at the first opportunity. How much
of ''sound and fury" the resolutions of the
chivalrous Guyandotans may have con-
tanned, we know not; but there will doubt
less be much serious difficulty if the project
is persisted in. Slavery viii not peacefully
brook such a boarding in its own den.
So far as the emancipation or abolition of
slavery is concerned, the enterprise will most
probably prove failure.
The weakest and most vulnerable points of
assault on the slave power are in the Terri
tories. Take from it its chances for outlet
and extension, and its doom is sealed. Eli
Thayer's army of "neighbors" would ac-
complish much more for themselves and
humanity by settling in Kanzas than they
can by any possibility do in Virginia. They
are needed here. Kanzas, from her position
to other Territories. occupies the van of the
great anti-slavery army. If the anti-slavery
men of the North viii but do their duty in
directing hither the great currents of emil
grafton, the extension of slavery can be eff
feetsally checked, and the curse prevented
from blighting the life of any more Terri
tories

*Pro-Slavery.
Republican Paper at Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y. Courier and Enquirer says:
"The want of an independent Republican
paper to give expression to the views of the
Northern residents of this city, has long
been felt here. We have had Southern Sec
tional sheets, violent, ultra, moderate, con-
ciliatory, and of all other shades and de-
grees, in abundance, for the last twenty-five
years, which have all subsisted upon prov
ender from the government granaries; but
with the exception of the National Era, a
well supported weekly paper, there has been
no publication here designed to check the
torrent of sectional fanaticism or to correct
the servile influences of executive favor.
This want is about to be supplied by Mr..
Weston, of Maine, lately clerk to one of
the House Committees. He is about to is
sue daily paper of moderate size, devoted
to the dissemination of sound Republican
doctrine. Whether any daily paper can
subsist here without the aid of government,
is question which experience only can de-
termine."
Mr.. Weston was formerly a Democrat,
and for some years edited the Augusta dye.
He is an able and versatile writer.

The News from India.

The latest news from India does not ma
terially change the dismal aspect of affairs
for the British, the success of the faithful
native troops at Cawnpore being the only
favorable CLEAN of intelligence from that
quarter.
It is now nearly three months since the
rebellion assumed a formidable shape, and
yet, up to the last accounts, the English have
been unsuccessful in every attempt to arrest
it. They have been more than unsuccess-
full. They have been overwhelmed with
disaster. Besieged at Lucknow, defeated
with heavy losses at Agra, cut to pieces by
the insurgents at Cawnpore, decimated by
the cholera at Delhi, the torch of insurrec-
ton lighted north of them at Scalcote, and
south of them at Hyderabad, and the whole
interior adjacent to the Jumna and the Gan
ges infested by an Infatuated enemy-their
situations seems for the present to be hope
less, and their condition that for suitors for
peace rather than dictators of war.
India cannot be re-eonquered in 'six or
eight months" nor at cost of ffO,O00, 900
sterling only, as was boosted at first And
The English people, Notwithstanding their
general ignorance of Indian affairs, are al
ready experimenting this fact.
Assuming, as we are bound to do, that
the English must eventually succeed in this
struggle-either by exterminating the Ma
hommedans, or compromising with them in
a treaty of peace-it is safe to say that many
years must elapse before their success viii
be complete, and their dominion firmly re-
established. And the cost of success will
be immense. A greater part of the revenue
is the Bengal Presidency-including the
northwest provinces, Dude and the Puniab
and which comprises two-thirds of the
revenue of India, and viii be lost for several
successive years. To this must be added
the vast expense of transportation from Eng
land, and maintaining in India for several
years to come, force of $4,000 English
troops-the amount Of Government treas
ure, stolen in every city and cantonment
which the rebels have sacked-and the value
of Government property destroyed, in the
shape of produce, buildings, and public
works-the great loss arising from the neg
lect of agriculture, and the general suspen-
sion of all industrial and commercial enter
prises.
All these, in the aggregate, represent a
sum which the English people have not vel
dreamed of in their confused calculations

knowledged masters of Bengal, must run up

AN EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL TRIUMPH.
The Lowell Neacs says that some twenty
seven months ago a young man named VIM.
K. Foster had the whole of one elbow joint
torn out by an accident. He was taken to
the hospital where DIR. KimbaIi, advised by
Drs. Graves and Dickey, proceeded to saw
off the fragmentary bones, shortening them
some two and half inches, and then unit
ing them so as to make new joint and
arm. He moves the joint with perfect ease.

inches shorter than the other, and is good

Emporia and Jefferson City Railroad.
On the outside of this paper viii be found
the report of Mr.. John o. Wattles, Chair
man of the Committee appointed to make a
''horseback survey" of the proposed rail-
road route from Emporia to Jefferson City.
From this it will be seen that the route is
not only practicable but eminently favorable
for the construction of the road and the peo-
pie along the entire route full of zeal in the
enterprise.
A Committee, consisting of w. F. M. Ar
ny, of Hyatt, Kanzas, and Mr.. Phelps, NJ.
C. from Missouri, has been appointed to
press the claims of the road on the next Con-
gress, and endeavor to secure grant of
land to aid in its construction.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to
Messrs. Jno. o. Wattles and W. F. III. Ar
ny. for their indefatigable and untiring Ia
bors in forwarding the enterprise. Through
their efforts, mainly, the inhabitants along
the route in Missouri and Kanzas, have been
awakened to the great Importance of the
road, and are taking hold of it in earnest to
assist in its construction. a company will
be formed in few days, and if the expected
aid is obtained from Congress the work viii
be commenced in good earnest early in the
spring.

The Greatest Steam Invention Yet

The Greatest Steam Invention Yet.
The Baton Rouge Gazette, under the
above heading, has the following:
VIM. St. Martin, of this city, has invent
ed an engine, which can be constructed,
boiler and all, for $50. The machine is so
simple that we might with propriety, say it
is merely an escape pipe, taking mp no more
room. The steam is admitted into the CEN
ter of drum or cylinder. iu which the
shaft works; from this, the power is ap-
piled directly without further friction. The
other day We saw the perfected model of
the engine, pumping water about twenty
feet, and throwing it into reservoir at the
brewery. This is the apparatus wanted,
for getting in cheap manner, one or two
horse power, to drive small machinery
MIR. st. Martin has made application for let
ters patent, and when he gets them, we
think he has fair prospect ahead to realize
something from the result of his genius.

By reference to the election returns of
Brecknridge county, it viii be seen that
not single 81 NatiossaF' SOte was cast at the
Emporia precinct, and but seven in the
whole county. Last year the pro-slavery
men were in the majority in this region
The influx of Free State men last spring,
was too much for them and they have sold
