The Sonora Rebellion.

WASHINGTON, March 23,-The over
land mail via Ell Paso and San Antonio
has arrived, bringing information dated
Augusta, Feb. 9th, stating that Gen.
Gandara, the leader of the rebellion in
Sonora, has been entirely successful, hav-
ing deafeated the government troops in
several battles.
At last accounts General Gandara had
surrounded Peschiera, the Governor, SO as
to cut off all hope of his escape. Gan
dara had massacred all his prisoners, and
proclaimed that he would hang Peschiera,
if taken.
Other letters say that the Fart Yaria
and Ell Paso wagon road was progressing
finely.
b The people of the Rio Grande are much
interested In the success of the Arizona
bill.
The Indians were troublesome on the
Massillaville, and a serious attack was
feared.

Tbirt ~Aeth Congress.

4 WAsB1SeTNs March 24-HoUsE.--
The House wentlnto committee on the
deficiency appropriation bill.
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri. replied to Mr..
Blair, who he said ought to see free his
own slaves before accusing shareholders
of being an olgarchy to strike down
free labor. Such a course must have
a most disastrous effect where slavery ex-
lists.
He then advocated the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu-
ton.
SENATE.-Mr. Seward presented the
resolution of the Legislature of n. York
against the Lecompton Constitution which
wassordered to be printed.
Mr.. Seward quoted the language of
the Duke of Argyle at the Livingston
Bank, denying the opinion that the Bri-
fish Government is tending towards the
re-establishment of slavery.
) Mr.. Wilson presented a bill to facilitate
communication with the army Of Utah.
It provides that the Secretary of War be
authorized to contract for the extension
or use of the American Electro Magnetic
Telegraph from the frontier of Missouri
or Iowa to such military posts as are ne
cessary for the public service, and appro-
PIRATES lands not exceeding 100000 to
carry into execution the purpose of said
act. Read and ordered to be printed.

Beware!

We warn our friends everywhere to be-
ware of purchasing stock of any descrip-
ton in the corruption" town of "Minneo-
Ia" The curse of an outraged people rests
upon it. The location of the Capital at that
place will be of no benefit to it, as it was
located illegally. and as a consequence the
government will not expend any money in
the erection of public buildings. The loca-
ton is poor one-on little dry creek,
opposite to a village which died natural
death in consequence of its ineligible posi-
ton. Coal, stone and timber are scarce

A WINTER GLANCE

WINTER GLANCE.
At last grim old winter has blown away
the smoky Indian summer mist which has
hung like vail over the earth during the
past three months, and with his icy breath
and frowning looks, turned the genial sea-
son into something like real old fashioned
winter. cts heap cold,' to speak in Kaw
English, and great coats and warm shawls
are drawn closer around as their wearers feel
the chill breath of the northerly blast, shiv-
ering and chattering with a wild glee across
the plains and shrieking fitfully among the
bare tree branches.
The snow which has been drifting about
all day from the black and lowering clouds
to the brown and barren earth, now lies
glistening in the moon-besms, white, untrod-
den and glittering beneath the frosty night,
till it seems to our mind a shroud woven by
the winter spirit, in a softer mood, to cover
the form of the genial days which in his
stormy anger he ruthlessly destroyed. The
wind means sadly without and all seem to
wear look of mourning.
The scene wakes strange memories in our
hearts. 1.-The loved and the lost" are look
ing in upon us and we turn again to the
many wiDtry scenes which chequered and
eventful life have left engrayen upon our
memory. We have often seen the long
dreary days of joys Indian summer, when
Hope filled the landscape of life with hazen
mist through which the sunlight of Love
fell radiantly, yet softened by the clouds OF
the Past and the incense-smoke of the Fu-
ture; suddenly over this scene will drift the
winter cloud of Sadness-the winds will
toss the mist-yeil away and the blackness of
Loss and Despair hang in all hideousness
over us. Though all viii look dark for a
time, yet even Grief has a beauty of its own
the snow-shroud of Trust and Hope in
the Eternal Love drapes all with purity and
loveliness. Even so it is with the wintry
scene without. The earth looked desolate
and the winds in their wild fury were very
mournful, when the snow comes like an an
gel-robe to clothe the darkness in light and
beauty.
Fairly the winter night closes in upon us
and silently it seems to hold watchful vigil
over the grave of the pleasant weather.

Pacific Railroad Bill in Congress.

The bill matured by the Pacific Railroad
Committee of the Senate, and reported by
Mr.. Gwyn to-day. proposes to locate rail-
road between the Big Sioux and the mouth
of the Kanzas river to San Francisco that
alternate sections of land on each side of the
road be granted, and s19. 500 per mile be
advanced on the completion of every TWEEN
ty-fve miles, until S25, GOO, 600 be reached;
the amounts thus advanced to be returned
in mail service and the transportation Of
men and munitions of war. Five per cent.
of the stock to be issued, and the President
to receive bids and make contract for TWEEN
ty years, and locate the road, having in
view economy and the best route.
The friends of the bill which has been
introduced into Congress, appropriating
public lands in limited quantities to actual
settlers, say that it will undoubtedly become
a law. --4 -

Pate on Kanzas Affairs.

H. Clay Pate, the hero of Black Jack and
Postmaster at Westport, Mo-, seems to he
considerably exercised" in regard to Kan
zas affairs. In letter to the Missouri Re
publican, under date of Jan. 10th, he says:
'tJim Lanes party are now actively en-
gagged in disturbing the settlers, by getting
out writs for all prominent pro-slavery men,
and having them directed ''to the captain of
any militia company"
"Many fearing harsh treatment, rather
than to submit to arrest. have left the Ter
ritory for the present. 1t is by this means
that Lane expects either to drive out all the
settlers, or raise another war. He is par
TALLY succeeding in one and may succeed
in the ether. A company of three hundred
Missourians came near leaving Weston last
week for the Territory to protect their
friends, and would have done so but for
Gen. Calhoun.
sit Will be impossible to keep down ex-
citement on the border if Jim Lane is per-
mitted to go on as at present. He has his
bands of cut-throats all over the Territory,
and they are actively engaged in prosecuting
Jim's work of war;
