Pro SLAVERY OUTRAGE IN MARYLAND.-J.
l.. Bowers, who some months ago, subjected
himself to the indignation of the people of
Kent county, Md, for his alleged tampering
with their slaves, and who was compelled to
hastily leave the county, returned a few days
ago to the residence of his sister, six or eight
miles from Chestertown. His return was a
signal for a renewed outburst of indignation,
and early on Monday morning about one
thousand persons from various sections of the
county assembled at the house where Bowers
has taken up his quarters, apparently deter
mined to inHict upon him summary punish
ment.
At this moment, however the Hon. James
b. Ricaud arrived, and through his efforts
the assemblage consented that he and Sc
leeted guard should take Bowers in car
riage beyond the limits of the State. This
was done, and Bowers landed at Middletown
Del, with orders not to return to the county
again. After this the assemblage dispersed,
most of them coming to Chestertown to at
tend court. A meeting of the shareholders
of the covnty was to have been held at Ches.
tertown yesterday, to appoint delegations to

FROM WAsHINeToN.-V Washington, Oct. q.
look upon the rejection of Mr.. Jones as an
event of great moral moment in another as
pect. 1t marks the beginning of the regene-
ration of Pennsylvania; and greater still, 1t
shows that the work of emancipsting the no
BILE German mind in the United States. from
the servitude of catchwords, from devotion to
African slavery, and from the tyranny Of
sham Democracy, has gone so far as to over
throw those influences in their very citadel.
Let the Germans of Illinois and the great
West remember in all future conflicts, that
the most ancient seat Of German power on
this continent has yielded to the force of
truth, and has spuined slavery and the lead
ers of the servile Democracy. This is the
moral l draw from the defeat of J. Clancy
Jones.
Private letters from Arizona fully confirm
the intelligence gwen to the public through
the newspapers, of the brilliant mineral pros
poets of that Territory. The accounts con-
tanned in my own correspondence from the
Territory are too glowing to be committed to

that the western part of Arizona is a region
as fertile in silver as the best parts of Mexico.
CORES Neso York Courier and Enquirer.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Ihe impression ex-
lists here that the next House will be so
closely balanced that its organization may be
determined by the vote of few Southern
Americans from Maryland, with Humphrey
Marshall. The friends of the administration
claim Montgomery and Schwartz in PenAsyl-
vania and any Illinois members who may be
elected. except Harris, who is counted out in
company with Hickman of Pennsylvania,
and Davis of Indiana.
The Democratic game now is to consoli-
date the South by surrendering the nomina-
tions to those Americans who will agree to
unite. This will be done in Georgia, Ten
nesse and Louisiana. The programme is Sec
tional, like that of 1856, and aims to combine
the South and to constrain the weak portion
of the North Cores. Neao York Tribune
