LETTER FROM HON. J.R. BROWN.

Mr. EDrroR:-You will see by the Congressional
reports that Minnesota is still 'ou of the Union,"
and there is no telling how long she may remain
So as many of the DEMOCRATIC Senators feel dis
posed to hold the Minnesota bill back until the
House has acted IpOn the Kansas bill, and if the
House does not recede from Its amendment, at
tempt Will be made to connect Kansas and Mime
sofa TO be sent 10 the House in that shape | do
not believe that could be DONE however in any
event and | do not believe there will be any ne
Cessity for it, as think the House will recede from
the Mont yomery amendment and the bill for the
admission OF kansas, as it passed the Senate, will
become a law. + =

The Memphis Appeal and Avalanche. too
papers belonging to the " harmonious sham
democracy, are carrying on an interesting
dispute on the DoUGLAs-BUcHANAN war. In
treating the subject the latter deals in some
right round assertions, among which We find
this: Believing, as we do, that Mr.. BUCH-
ANAN was rf5ht, while Judge DOUGLAS was
wrong, on the Lecompton question, we I'M
hesita,ingly say that. in our opinion, the
Democrat who sides with the latter agdina the
former, on this question, is a renegade and
traitor to his party"
1t may be well that the public should I'M
derstand in what precise light the Avalanche
regards the contest in Illinois. Does it regard
the issue as one between DOUGLAS and the
administration There is no doubt there are
hundreds and thousands of Democrats in
Tennessee and throughout the South who pre-
fer the election of DOUGLAS TO that of LINCOLN,
does the AUaL1nche consider that in holding
and Expressing this preference. a Democrat
is taking sides for DOUGLAS against BUCHANAN
and is consequently a traitor? If this is the
view of the Avalanche, our opinion is that the
Democratic camp is filed with traitors, and
that the Appeal is but uttering the sentiment
of large proportion of the party.

The Overland MafI.-Fourth of the
Series.

The Overland Mail which left San Francisco
on the 2Sth nit, arrived in this city Saturday
night. No papers were brought by the mail,
and but few letters. The few papers in
possession of the passengers when the stage
left San Francisco were distributed along the
route.
In conversation with Mr.. w. H. Hilton, a
passenger by this mail, we learned some
particulars which may not be uninleresting to
our readers. Mr.. Hilton left San Francisco
on the 18th Of September, and arrived ut Los
Angeles September 23d At this point Mr..
Hilton remained until this stage arrived,
which was on the thirtieth. On that day
Mr.. Hilton left Los Angeles, and arrived here

be made inside of twenty days. with great

decidedly favorable. and in all respects safe

On Saturday the greatest feature OF the
Fair came off. II was the riding in the ring
of one of the celebrated Brown families, being
ten brothers and living at the present time in
seven different States. They made their ap-
pearance on gray horses, and like the rest of
the Browns were good looking, and showed a
strong family resemblance. They faced the
audience in the amphitheatre where their
aged mother was seated, and were greeted
with long and loud shouts from the thousands
who were in attendance. One of the officers
stepped forward. and after thanking Mrs.
Brown in behalf of the association, for the
honor she had conferred upon the country,
begged heras a slight testimonial of their
regard and esteem that she would accept of
silver goblet, and hoped she might live a
thousand years and ever continue to do things
up Bro,cn The BRowN Bios. of Hopkinsville
are deserving of much credit for their sterling
energy and interest taken in stock raising in
Kentucky and elsewhere.
The attendance and interest taken in the
Fair at Hopkinsville seemed to be much
greater than that taken in the Fairs in Ten
nessee. In Kentucky the week for their Fair
il, by common consent, declared a holiday
week, and old and young. white and black,
seize upon and make of it as such. 1
cannot close this hurrid and imperfect
synopsis of the Fair without exhorting the
stock raisers and planters of Tennessee to go
to the Kentucky Fairs, knowing from my own
experience they will receive hearty welcome,
and be profited by their trip.
In, behalf of the members of the reserved
guard' we hereby tender our public &C
acknowledgements to host of lady friends in
Hopkinsville for their kindness and attention
during our sojourn in their midst, knowing
that their shadows will never be less, but
hoping that they may, like their hearts, ex-
pand, we shall ever cherish their redolent
smiles and beautiful faces in fond remem-
brance.

The Second Atlantic Cable.

We announced the fact several DAYS ago
that il was the intention of the British govern
ment to lay another cable next year betw cen
Ireland and Newfoundland. Since thai
announcement we have been informed that
the government have made arrangements
with the company. by which the latter have
agreed to undertake the work the govern
ment having offered them certain per
centage on the capital already invested We
have no doubt, however that the cable which
is now submerged will be made to work be-
fore next year, so that when the second il
laid shall have two to do the business of
the line.
One of the great difficulties with which the
electricians have had To contend is said to he
the choking up of the conductor by the
electric current, which has, they say, no
means of egress The electricians are very
scientific. no doubt, and they have done a
great many wonderful things with that same
cable. One of those philosophers. who had
tested the North Sea line foe loss Of Insulation
Informed the world that there existed defect
in that cable over hundred miles from the
shore, but it was subsequently, found that the
fault was actually on the beach. In the case
of the Atlantic cable, il is to be hoped they
will get over the stufiug difficulty Every
thing certainly seems to have been made per-
fectly clear Tor them. Providence, in the first
place. provided the great submarine plateau.
aud then made known the peculiar properties
of gutta percha an insulator. Bat this, il
appea:s, was not enough. for the insulation
thus provided was too perfect, and caused a
stuffiing mp Of the currents, which eonld not
get through. This last difficulty was removed
however, by leak. through which the current
might relieve itself, So that tae electricians
would seem 10 have nothing 20 compliant OF

Despite the grave and discouraging reports
which some Of these gentlemen have made, we
should Lot be surprised IL. when the shoreend

Movement of the Germans I'm New
York TO Organize an independent

The New York Times Of the 14th, reports
the following proceedings of German meet
ing in that city:
A Meeting of Germans principally composed
of the ultras of the Socialist, Communist and
Red Republican parties. about eight hundred
in number, was held last night at the VOlks
Garden, BOwery. to express an opinion on the
present state of American politics, and to take
steps for the organization of a new and indie
pendent party, to be composed exclusively of
Germans. The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Edward Kapf. who briefly detailed its
object. The first regular speaker was Mr..
Victor Pelz, who dwelt in a forcible manner
on the extreme corruption prevailing in every
branch Of the body polite. Everything was
rotten, from base to apex. Everybody elect

on opportunity TO plumber the people. May

The speaker. in giving utterance to this
sentiment, was loudly applauded. ". Gustav
Strive followed him in the same strain. He
denounced the Democrats as the enemies of
freedom, the supporters of slavery, the foes of
free labor. the trcacbcrous friend of the
foreigner, whose aid they sought only TO
betray him. He denounced the American
party as the bigoted enemy of the emigrant,
the toll of whose sincws they would accept.
while they would deny him the rights of
citizenship and almost the shelter of home.
Nor were the Republicans worthy of trust.
for. to save themselves from being swallowed
up by the Democrats, they were eager to
forsake their own platform and make common
cause with the Americans. There was nothing
then, left for those who could not be Demo-
Gratis, and would not be Republicans but to
form an independent party. Mr.. Strive read
a long list of resolutions, which were adopted
by reclamation. Their spirit was in accor-
dance with the sentiments expressed by the
foregoing speakers. All parties being
corrupt, new party must he formed on the
principles of l776. The Democrats advocat-
cd slavery. and were totally unworthy of
support. The Americans and Republicans

Nicaragua.

The present juncture of affairs in Nicara-
qua is considered favorable for another at
tempt by General Walker and an emigration
scheme is on foot. with which he will proba-
hly soon return to that republic. Bodies of
emigrants are getting ready in many places
in the South, and are in a forward state of
.prepafatiori.>- They will depart from several
Southern ports early in the coming month. in
sailing vessels. and the scheme is so laid that
there will be little probability of the Govern
ment being able tn interfere with them. Mr..
Soule is the principal planner of the move
ment. and societies have been formed to sup
port each its band of emigrants, after the
fashion of the New England societies to send
efnigrants to Kansas, two years since. Central
America, it is declared, will be Americanized
by spontaneous settlement.
