A New Golden State.

A letter to the Boston journel, from
Lawrence says:
There is a political movement of some
importance going on in connection with
these gold discoveries. 1t is the formation
of a new Territory from the western por-
tant of Kansas, The parties in the vicin-
ity of Pixies Peak, is said, will at An early
day elect Delegate to Congress, and send
him on the next session with petition for
anew Territorial organization. 1t Is said
that gentleman from Kansas City, who
is to start with one Of the trains leaving
this week, will return as the embryonic
Congressman. The grounds upon which
they ask this action ofcongress will be, that
situated as they are FIVE hundred miles
from the well-settled portions of Kansas,
and its seat Of government. it will be i'm
possible for them to fined any protection
from our Territorial authorities, and that
unless furnished with an organization of
their own mob law must prevail and they
must suffer from general anarchy, Seven
hundred miles. they claim. are quite too
much for the length of State. where rail-
roads are unknown and steamboats, i'm
practicable

The Clark and Twiggs tragedy was to-
day brought to conclusion by the execu-
ton of Mrs. Twiggs for having taken
part in the murder of her husband and
Mrs. Clark.
The condemned woman passed last night
rather comfortably. sleeping with her chill
dren in her arms. She took farewell of
her brother and children this morning, and
after devotional exercises iu her room, was
taken to the s,sffold at quarter past ten
O'Clock, leaning on the arm of her spiritu-
al adviser. A chapter having been read,
and an impressive prayer offered up on the
scaffold. Mrs. Twiggs spoke for six or
eight minutes, protesting her innocence,
declaring her readiness to die, and her
trust in just Judge-regretting only to
leave behind her two orphan children. She
was much affected throughout; the solem-
nifty of tbs scene was made more impress
sive by her groans and sobs. Even after
the cap was drawn over her face, she ap-
pealed 70 God In the most earnest manner,
asserting her innocence. At half past ten
the drop fell, and after struggling for
few moments. the wretched woman hung
lifeless.

From the N. Y. Jour of Commerce [17th inst !
The Paraguay Expedition.

About noon. to-day, The U. S. frigate
Sabine got under ray and sailed from this
point, upon the expedition to Paraguay
The Sabine takes out the special Minister
of the United States, Judge Bowlin, and
his suite, and also the naval and military
,mmander of the expedition, Commodore
Shubrick.
The noble ship departs upon her inter-
sting and importan. service, under the au-
espices of bright sun, and with the good
wishes of the entire body of the American
people.
The Sabine was bat lately put in COM
mission, and new for the FIRST time che is
to see the ocean. Her compliment of
men, including marines. is about five or
six hundred.
The Sabine will proceed no father than
Buenos Ayres, where the Minister and his
suite will be received on board the u. S.
war steamer Fulton which will proceed
Immediately up the river towards the capt.
al Of Paraguay, Asuncion. It's supposed
by the Minister that upon his arrival in the
Fulton, at the mouth Of the river-near
which ss the Paraguayan fort of the Trias
Borcas-he will have some diplomatic
communication with the autho rites Of
Paraguay. There he will declare, in gen.
eral terms, tie object of his special mission.
twill remain with the Paraguayan gov
eminent then to determine whether they
will permit the Fulton to proceed, and, in
fact, whether they will receive our Minister.
Under decree of the government no
ship-of-war is to ascend the river without
permission. So there is chance for
crisis at once, in Judge Bowlin's mission.
The river Paraguay is navigable up 10
Asuncion by vessels drawing not more
than thirteen feet of water. The Fulton
draws but eleven feet.
We learn that Com Shubrick can, in
case of hostilities, land over two thousand
men.
The Sabine will remain at Buenos Ayres,
but can furnish about three or four hun
dred men for military operations.
Judge Bowlin will deport himself in his
mission with the geratest degree of civility
towards the government of Parauay, and
will endeavor to bring about an adjusti-
ment of present difficulties, and the estab-
lishment of mutually beneficial relations for
the future, between the United States and
Paraguay. Hostilites are not to be ex-
pected as the result of his proper demands
and offers.

CAUSE F,R PRAISE the whole
surface of the ocean, says DR.. Dick, there
arise every twelve hours no less than thirty
millions of cubic feet of water. which is
sufficient to supply all the rivers on earth.
This immense body Of water is formed into
the clouds and carried over every part of
the continents, and again it is condensed in-
to rain, snow or dews, which water and fer
tilize the earth. Should this process cease. we
might wash Our clothes. but centuries
would not dry them. for evaporation alone
produces this effect, vegetation would
wither, the rivers wculd swell the ocean.
the operations of nature would cease. So
close is the connection between this process
and vegetable and animal life. Praise the
Lord. for he causeth the vapors to ascend
from the ends of the EARTH
A project is on foot to lay an undor-
ground telegraph from st. Louis to Cali
fornia.

'sNever Give up the Ship"

The temporary defeat which DEMOC-
RACY has just sustained in this District,
has had this good effect: our party has
been sifted, and the spurious Democrats,
who. with Democracy upon their lips
and Black Republicanism in their hearts,
hsve been secretly working against
us, are now fairly known. We wish our
opponents much JOY over the acquisition
of these new allies and advise them to
tie the renegades neck and heels, or they
will slip over into some other party.
The true Democrat-like the true Pat
riot-aoates not zone jot or title" ns.the
faith of his Principles because of Defeat.
He sees in the triumph of his Cause
the perpetuity of our Free Institutions
and the general good of the People.
Defeat only urges him to renewed
strength, and guards him against the
plans Of his opponents.
The wild excitement of 1910 brought
a triumph to our opponents--but the 80
bersecond thought" of '44--and in sc and
'56-brought US victory-as every cleo
ton will, when all exciting Issues are
discarded. and men only Judge of the
relative merits of Democracy and Black
Republicanism. The latter hopes for sue
cess in Excitement alone-while the for
ner appeals to the Judgment of the
People, and points to the history Of our
Country to prove that the Democracy
have originated and carried out those
great National measures which this day
make US second to no nation IL the world
The same opposition that was raised
against Jefferson for the purchase of
Louisiana--which was raised against Jack
son for vetoing that arch-enemy of our
Country the United States Bank--and
endeavored to keep out of this Union our
sister State of Texas. after her gallant Peo-
pie had gained their Independence by
successfully fighting a powerful nation thro'
war that lasted longer than that of our
Revolution-now arrays itself against the
Democracy,--claiming no Principle as its
aim, but seeking only to destroy by its
Schemes the Prosperity of the Union
built up by Democracy. The Republican
leaders hope by cdecting divisions in our
Party and presenting false Issues. to leap
from the shoulders of the People into the
possession of Public Office.
Our defeat will be turned to our advan-
tage, for "out of evil cometh good
The contest was hard fought one. Po-
MicaUy, it was bitter-on our part, per-
sonaly, it was all peace.
As good Democrats, we yield to the ma
jority. and hope that the gentlemen elect
ed will perform their duties with honor to
themselves and the People who have thus
con6ded in them.
Democrats-Our defeat is but tempo
rsry. Pick your flints and try again, Z"

Prospect of Another Indian
War.

Dispatches have been received fromthe
War Department oftne Interior from New
Mexico, giving accounts of fresh Indian
war in the Navajo country.
Captain Mclean, of the Rifles, on retur-
ming from Santa Fe to Fort Defiance with
seventeen mounted rihemen, and few
frie ndly Indians and Mexicans under Cap.
tan Bles Lassero. when within two days
march of Fort Defanc discovered large
body of Indians attempting to surround
him. He forthwith dismounted his men
and attacked the Indians. who had signified
by their war whoop their intention Of at.
lacking his force. He led the attack, and
at the distance of three or four hundred
yards fred and killed several Indians and
dispersed the rest. A party of them who
gained McLean,s TANKS, opened sharp
fire of arrows and bullets.
Mclean was badly wounded; supposed
at the time mortaley. His men continued
the fight. and took large amount of prep
erty, horses. DC. 1t is supposed this is
the band of Indians which protected the
murderer Of Major Brooks servant.
Colonel Miles commanding Fort Def
ance reports that this preciritates another
serious Indian war, and that he takes the
field with out delay with all the force, con.
sisting of about three hundred mounted
ridemeo and infantry. 1t is said these
Indians number, about TWO thousand war
riors. They are defiant, for when Mclean 9
party drew their arms, they laughed in
their peculiar fashion.
1t is believed that we are on the eve Of a
general Indian war. The Department, in
view of these circumstances, and the neces-
sity of giving security to the overland
routes, will act with determined vigor.
