A DEMOCRATIC U. S. SENAToR.-Of all men in
the history Of our country who have risen from
almost oppressive obscurity to prinoely and
merited eminence, observes an Eastern ex-
change, Ex-Governor johnson, Of Tennessee,
recently chosen u. S. Senator from that State,
is the most remarkable. There is but one Opin-
ion about the eminent ability with which he
will discharge the duties Of his new station for
aside from the laur0ls wen at home he has al
ready served term in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and there won the favor which has
just now eliminated in this new honor Yet 50
low on the ladder Of learning did his manhood
commence that it is said his wife taught him his
letters after their marriage; and while prOsecu-
ting his calling as journeyman tailor, to sup.
port his family, he acquired the simplest rudi-
ments of education. This was the Democratic
element-industry and honest decision Of char
aeter-working at the foundation Of popular
sovereignty. Truly, "where there is a will
there is wsy;' though it takes giant mind
and iron heart TO win the victory over igno-
rance and want. All honor to the new Senator
from Tennessee; and let our young men re-
member another homely adage,-"What man
has done man may do"

INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES OF RUssTA.-The EN-.
pire covers an area of 1888, ,553 square miles
two millions in Europe. and the remainder in
Asia and America. The productions vary with
the degrees of latitude and longitude, but rye
is the common food Of the peasantry, and is rails
ed in the greatest abundance. Russian Europe.
including Poland, produces annually, l,495, 900
900 bushels Of grain. valued at S72O,416, ,667.
Flax and hemp arc extensively exported and
tobacco is raised in some OF the southern prov
inces. Manufactures are not in forward con-
dition, but the Russian leather, used for book
binding, excels all others in the world; all i'm
itations of it have failed. The manufacture Of
glass has reached great perfection, and the
working of cotton is advancing. The factories
give employment to six millions of people
Moscow lie the centre of manufactures and is
inhabited, nearly exclusively, by artisans None
but natives are allowed to engage in the inter-
nal trade, and foreigner importing goods,
must sell to Russians only.

FALL OF DELHI.-Tho news from India ia
highly interesting. 1t is dated at Madras 18th,
and Calcutta, 25th of September, and Bombay,
Sd of October. The bombardment of Delhi
commenced on the 9th of September. The city
was stormed by the British troops on the 18th,
who entered by the Cashmere Gate, and after a
terrible struggle with the Sepoy mutineers,
took the northern portion Of it. On the 10th,
they captured the magazine and one hundred
and twenty-five cannon; and, according to ma
tive authority, the English flag waved over the
entire city on the goth Of September.
The newly proclaimed King, with his two sons,
fed, disguised in women's clothes. No quarter
was given to the armed mutineers; but the wo-
men and children were spared by the conquer
ers. 1t was said that the expelled rebels had
taken up strong position about eight miles
from Delhi. Agra remained very quiet. Luck
now still held out. The northeastern frontier
was in very disturbed state, and some new
conspiracies had been detected at different
points.

A HEAVY Blow TO THE CHURcH.-The severe
storm Of wind and rain of Friday night, says
the Butte Record was too severe for the walls
of the brick church which is being erected by
the Cengregatonalists, and when the floods
beat upon them and the winds assailed them,
down they fell, and about fifteen feet was the
fall thereof. This is calamity greatly to be
regretted, and is one Of the heaviest impedi-
mcnts which has yet been thrown in the way OF
the progress Of religion in these parts. The
wicked and perverse people of OrOvile should
atone for their sins by advancing the necessary
funds for rebuilding those walls.

CONFIRMATION OF THE BURNING OF GOVERNMENT
TRAINS BY MoRMoNs.-Dspatehes have been re-
ceived at Washington confrmatory of the report
of the capture and destruction of the Govern
ment provision trains by the Mornons. 1t is
stated that Col johnson was determined to
winter in the valley of the Great Salt Lake,
and the route Of the expidition had been chang
ed in order to reach that point by road less
obstructed by snow than the enc originally
adopted. The Mormons were assembling in
large force to oppose the advance Of the troops.

Departure of Walker for Nicaragua-Land-
ing at Greytown.


Gen. Walker left New Orleans Nov. IL, in the
Mobile packet. At the Balize, or somewhere n
the neighborhood, he was transferred to the
steamer Fashion, and is now on his way to the
field of his former exploits. He is accompanied
by about four hundred men, has provisions fer
three or four months, and abundance Of war
material. The Fashion was formerly govern
ment vessel, and employed as transport. She
was recently advertised for sale by the U. S.
Marshal at New Orleans.
A correspondent at San Juan del Norte, writ
ing to New Orleans paper, under date of the
9th OF October, gives gloomy description Of
the condition Of Nicaragua, under its present
rulers. Freedom of speech, much less Of action,
is entirely unknown; word, almost thought
visited with imprisonment or exile. Several
natives, who favored the government Of Gen.
Walker, have been shot; some are In prison !;
some are working in the field of Magadalpa,
and many who were merely suspected Of being
friendly to the Americans, have been banished
the country.
| Orders were sent from Washingten to New
Orleans. on Saturday, Nov. l4th, for the imme-
diate dispatch of revenue cutters, In pursuit Of
Gen. Walker. The authorities confidently ex-
peet to overhaul the flibuster before he effects
landing in Central America. The General
was arrested on the 10th Of Nov, by Custom
House officials, gave bail, and set out next
morning.
BY the Panama steamer we learn that Walker
had landed at Greytown. The following was
telegraphed to Panama, on the arrival of the
West India Island steamer Dee at Aspinwall.
AsPNwALI., Dec. I'd, 1857.
Gen. Walker has landed at Greytown; the
following 10 all that is known at present of this
new expedition: On the oath Nov. small
steamer called the Fashion appeared off the
port she did not attempt to enter, but ran down
to the Colorado river, where Walker landed
500 men. On the following day she came into
Greytown at full speed, with only ten men on
deck, ran alongside hulk, and before the boats
of the U. S. sloop Of war Saratoga could board
her, Walker and his party amounting to l5O
men, had landed at Scott's. Capt Chatard, OF
the Saratoga, ordered them away from Scott's
premises and has taken Greytown and the pro
perty belonging to the Transit Company under
his protection he has also informed Walker
that he will not allow any depredations to be
committed in either place. On the Fashion,
papers being overhauled, it was found that she
regularly cleared from the Custom House at
Mobile. She is now here (AspinwalD. We have
come here with dispatches to the senior officer
of the British fleet on this station, and also for
Com. Pauldng, Of the U. S. frigate Wabash.

WASHINGTON NOT MARSHALL OF France
A paragraph has gone the rounds of the press,
on the authority of the late Mr.. Custis, to the
effect that during the Revolutionary War, the
French Government conferred on Gen. Wash
ington the title Of Marshal Of France. Mike
Walsh, who has recently been sojourning in
Paris, noticed the statement, and doubling it'
correctness, addressed note to Marshal Vail
liant, the French Minister of War, making inqui-
ry on the subject. The following is Marshal
Vaillant's reply:
mo trace Of a decree comforting on General
Washington the dignity Of marshal has been
found in the archives Of this ministry. The re-
search, begun at the date Of the treaty Of alli-
ance (Feb., 1873 and carried down as far as
1886, three years after the conclusion OF the
peace (Oct, 1866, has produced no other result.
There is an order of Count dc Rochambeau 18th
JUN, 1790) which directs that the honors due to
Marshal of France should be paid to General
Washington. These honors and the dignity
itself have, perhaps been confounded. In all
the correspondence with Rochambeau, Wash
ington receives and takes only the title of Gen
eral.'
This statement of the French Minister settles
the question that Washington was not appointed
Marshal Of France. eff the title had boen
bestowed" writes Mr.. Walsh, "surely the evi-
dence would not be wa ming in the official reg
lister Of the appointment of Marshals."

BREAD EXCITEMENT IN THE EAsT-At New
York. en- the 9th ult., from 5000 to 1000 men,
out Of employment, met in Tompkins Square,

were made by seme, not Of them, but who
claimed to be their leaders. They visited the
Mayor by deputation, in his office, to ask him
about the $4,000 barrels of -four mentioned in
his message. The Mayor addressed them in
words of promise and advice, after which they
gradually dispersed.
Considerable excitement was oceasioned in
the city Of Philadelphia on the same day by a
demonstration similar to that progressing in
New York, for the forcible seizure of bread. A
gang Of about twelve men, armed with muskets.
and carrying a banner with loaf Of bread
painted on It, with this inscription, 1--WE will
