MAJOR JANEs 5. RoLLINs.-We are
gratified to see that this distinguished and
intelligent son of old Madison has accepted
the nomination, Of Governor, rendered to
him by the patriotic Americans of Missouri.
Owing 10 the distraction of the Democracy
the largest portion having become abolition
lied, his success, we think, is certain. He
is justly regarded in the State of his adop-
ton as one of the abest, most eloquent and
learned within it's borders. If elected, Of
which there is little doubt, he will at all
times administer the government in such Q
way and manner as TO advance the interest
and prosperity Of the State. We wish him
success and can assure the people of Mis-.
souri, that any honOrs which they may con.
fer upon him will be worthily bestowed and
worn.-- Richmond (Ky.) Messenger.

A Volcano IN GEoRoIA.-In Walker
county Ga, about ten miles from the town
Of Lafayette, volcano has come to life in
Pigeon Mountain, which has been showing
signs Of eruption since 1856. A letter in
the augusta Chronicle says:
About midnight on the Oath the earth was
violently agitated several times. The citi-
zens in the vicinity were aroused and ter
ribly frightened by the commotion. When
observing the mountain they were than ever
terrified, for brilliant light was plainly
seen issuing from the summit. The atmos-
phere seen became strongly impregnated
with disagreeoble sulphuric odor. On the
following day thick torrent of smoke and
ashes ascended from where this light was
previously seen. This was perhaps owing
to the elements being covered at the time
with a very dark cloud. No blaze has yet
been seen to issue from the crater. II has
continued about as above described ever
since, emitting smoke and ashes without in
Permission. The crater is thought to be a.
bout one hundred yards in diameter. No
one has yet ventured near enough TO ascer-
tain anything of its general depth. Several
springs in the vicinity have totally dissp-
peared.

From the Republican.
Frightful Massacre.

We have published elsewhere a state
ment to the effect that body of filibus,ers
recently taken in Sonora, were under sem
tence of death from their captors. We find
in the N. o. Times of the 10th, the follow
ing later intelligence, from which it appears
that the unfortunate men have already suf-
fered execution:
The Mexican "Estandarte Nacional," Of
the 9th inst. states in postscript that the
Government had just received dispatches
from Gen. Yanez, the commander of the
Mexican forces at Sonora, informing them
that the ffty-nine filibusters who were Ia
ken prisoners after the recent battle, had
all been shot. The dispatch adds that the
loss Of the Sonorians in the engagement was
forty killed, and still larger number
wounded.
Surely, if American citizens were among
those butchered in cold blood, our Govern.
ment will demand fearful retribution from
Mexico for this wanton outrage on all the
laws Of humanity.

Fire in Colum bia.

About nine o'clock on Tuesday night,
one Of the rooms in the second story Of Mrs.
Ready's dwelling in the northern part of
Columbia, was discovered to be on fire.
The room was occupied by Mr.. Josiah w.
Parker and family. Mr.. Parker and lady
were at Church and their two little child
rem and servant girl were asleep in the
room, When the. alarm was given the room
was already enveloped in flames, and the
children were rescued--one by Mrs. Ready
and the other by Mr., Humber, a student,
almost at the risk Of their lives. The SER
want was found awake tho stupeied with
fear, but followed out the first child rescued.
Our people were promptly there and the
fire extinguished, although the building is q
frame, before it had time TO extend to other
rooms, but not until Mrs. Ready's house.

of it destroyed, and the doors and window.

FLORIDA INpIANs-U. S. SOLDIER EAT
xN BY A SHARK Key West, May lo.-A
report has reached this city, via Cape Sable,
from the headquarters of the U. S. troops in
Florida, that the Indians, on learning that
General Harvey had been ordered to take
command elsewhere, were willing to treat
with his successor, Col. LOOMS, and they
were making preparations to have "a big
talk" at Fort Dallas, on the Miami river,
where Col, Dimmick is stationed, We do
not put much confidence in these rumors.
1t is probably ruse of the Indians to gain
time, or to effect an armistice.
A shocking affair happened at Cape Sa-
Bile, on the 9th inst. Two privatss of H.,
4th artillery, were espsized, while sailing in
the bay, and one of them named Dunn,
while swimming ashore, was seized by q
shark and eaten up. His companion goi
safely ashore.

churches open during the forenoon and

less than eighty ball rooms. in each Of which
the "bsnd" plays from morning till mid

VrRA Csuz, May l, 1867.
Hon President Comonfbrt diidys Clerical
Agifation-- The Priests quiet.
You will have by the steamship Mexico,
which leaves this morning, full files to ad-
wise you Of our actual condition, and l can
only give you glance. ...
Since the Catholic disturbance during the
Easter festivals in the metropolis, when the
elevated dignitaries Of the Church thought
to entioe the people take part in their plots
of treason, we have been quiet. The i'm
prisonment Of the various leaders Of the ca
thedral rebels, aud the prompt conservative
action Of Comonfort, prevented spread Of
the disease. He bore the censor between
the priests and the altar with file Of SOL
diers, and the plague was stayed. Suisse
quently convention ofpriests and civilians,
with sprinkling of sabres, and the Pope's
Nuneio to give grace and charm to the meet
ing, was held under advisement with the
government, and the will of Comonfort 10
sustain the constitution, even il it should
cost every shaver poll in the Republic, was
clearly made evident.
The poor priests agreed to mind their
business, and the Nuncio confirmed their
good intentions, advising them to take bet
ter care of the souls entrusted TO their watch
and ward, than to be intoxicating treasona-
Bile practices within the precincts Of the
Church.
Reports have been most industriously cir
culated for some weeks past, from one State
to another, by private expresses established
by the church, intimating that pronuncia-
mentos were to be made at given times and
places, simultaneously, for which there was
not the least foundation among. the people
1t was most singular, that among commune
ties exciteable and easily alarmed-even
with the most ignorant--there were none
deceived, not one deluded. The effort &c
